Course - One-to-One Mindfulness Sessions

About the course

“Clarity and decisiveness come from the willingness to slow down, listen and look at what’s happening”

Pema Chodron

Mindfulness for Health (MfH) and Mindfulness for Stress (MfS) are usually delivered in a group format, which is the most common way of learning mindfulness. Sometimes, however, attending a longer eight week course might not be practical or may be difficult due to your time constraints, geographical location, work or family commitments, health concerns or other personal circumstances, for example, some people may find groups just too challenging or overwhelming.

On the other hand, if you are experiencing a particularly stressful period in your life, you may find one-to-one mindfulness might provide a suitable way to learn or develop new skills and coping strategies to take into your daily life. Attending one-to-one mindfulness sessions will give you a regular safe space to practise mindfulness and meditation and work on your personal issues in your own time, in your own way and at your own pace.

At your initial orientation meeting we can discuss your intentions for learning mindfulness, what way of working is most convenient for you, whether you’d prefer face-to-face meetings or online sessions via Facetime, Whatsapp or Zoom. Telephone appointments can also work well for some people.

There is no obligation to book further sessions but if you do decide to continue, please be aware there is no limit to how many one-to-one mindfulness sessions you are able to book but we will review your progress regularly to check if you are finding the sessions beneficial.

One-to-One Mindfulness Course Options

To help you get the most from your one-to-one mindfulness training I offer a range of possible course options for you, or your family, peers or colleagues to choose from including:

• The full 8-week Mindfulness for Health or Mindfulness for Stress course (8 x 2 hour sessions, guided audio downloads, course workbook and supplementary material). Experience one of the Breathworks eight week courses, working at your own pace with the regular support, feedback and encouragement of your teacher.
• Mini-mindfulness programme (4 x 1 hour sessions, offering input on the Breathworks course key concepts, teaching core skills and guided meditation practices to help you to start developing more mindful moments in daily life.
• Individual mindfulness sessions (simply to encourage you to take some time out from your busy life just for you and press pause). The beauty of these sessions is that they can be arranged at short notice to suit your needs. So you might benefit from booking one of these one-off (pay-as-you-go) sessions, for example, if you’re having a stressful day at work and need some time out during your break. Or if you’re experiencing conflict in your relationship and could do with showing yourself some self-love and kindness.

Other course packages I offer include:

• Private courses for couples or small family groups.
• Private courses for teenagers.
• Private courses specifically adapted for people living with disability, chronic pain or longterm health conditions.
