Professional Mindfulness Training
Who it's for

Designed to support individuals and groups, catering to adults and children alike

The Mindfulness Now programme supports a broad range of needs — from managing stress and anxiety, to coping with physical and emotional discomfort, to enhancing emotional resilience.

This distinctive mindfulness teaching programme provides a comprehensive and flexible approach, featuring essential aspects of both MBSR and MBCT, and utilises a trauma-informed framework that can be easily combined with other therapeutic methods.

Flexible delivery

The programme can be tailored and evaluated to address the varied needs of its participants. While it is often delivered as a series of eight sessions, it remains effective when condensed into fewer sessions.

The programme is suitable for one-to-one teaching and can also be offered in a more informal setting, such as a drop-in group.
