About The Mindful Consultancy

I am a 99% retired Clinical Psychologist, who has co-facilitated Mindfulness courses since 2007.  I have run courses for health professionals, Clinical Psychology patients and people who are interested in using Mindfulness in order to achieve more balance in their lives.  I am a health professional dedicated to helping people help themselves. 

Current evidence suggests the importance of investing in our own "mental capital" and wellbeing and The Mindful Consultancy has this concept at its heart. To read further please go to the links page.
