Mindfulness

I am the Mindfulness Chaplain at the University of Edinburgh, where I run the University’s mindfulness programme for staff and students as part of the University Chaplaincy.

As part of my work for the Chaplaincy during the COVID-19 pandemic I write a weekly virtual mindfulness drop-in. This consists of an email with a suggested practice, theme, and article or podcast episode for reflection, to explore in your own time. I post these weekly on my blog, or you can subscribe by emailing mindfulness@ed.ac.uk. 

I began practising mindfulness in 2009, and trained to teach Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) at the Oxford Mindfulness Centre, University of Oxford. I have been an Associate at the OMC since 2017. As part of their teacher-training team, I regularly train MBCT and MBCT: Finding Peace teachers in the UK and internationally.

In private practice I teach mindfulness one-to-one, and supervise MBCT and MBCT: FP practitioners, focusing on higher education and other non-clinical settings. For inquiries, please contact me.
