As a trained TWM practitioner I aim to help you feel more confident and resourceful when dealing with your own day-to-day challenges, helping you survive and thrive in your daily life.
Many of the skills I teach are practical techniques, easy to use and learn and my hope is that you will be able to embed these skills into your own self-care practices that can be used in the moment helping you deal immediately with a challenge or negative feeling as they arise.
I have a special interest in meditation and mindfulness and the importance of breathing techniques. Mindfulness practices can help us be aware of our thoughts but not judging them, it’s about realising our thoughts do not define or control you, they simply are. Mindfulness is a key component of emotional wellbeing helping us process our challenges in a calmer and more rational way and to live in and enjoy the present moment.
In recent years, as I have got older and dealing with my own life challenges, I have developed a keen interest in ageing well. I believe that Emotional Wellbeing is a vital lifelong journey.
Feedback from clients:
“I really enjoyed our sessions thank you so much for helping me to take on board the spirit of mindfulness. I feel that I have explored so much and learnt so much about myself. I actually wonder whether I am a different person! I am certainly a lot calmer”
“It has helped me see things differently. I have found some things difficult but I am finding it easier to deal with my issues now and the sessions have changed the way I look at things. I do feel better equipped to cope and I feel able to incorporate some of the things in my life and how I approach them. I don’t feel as overwhelmed as I did before the sessions”
“I have learned not to be so hard on myself. I’ve learned the importance of being kinder to me and taking time for myself. I’ve realised that feeling better in my mind impacts on all aspects of my life”
