‘Give a starving person a bowl of fish
and you feed them for a day.
Teach a person how to fish
and you feed them for life.’
– Philosopher Lao Tzu
I have spent a lifetime helping and enabling others to most fully be the most authentic, intelligent and creative versions of themselves.
I do this as a certified teacher-trainer of mindful self-compassion. I love teaching this course; and I bring to it: warmth, humor, deep understanding of the philosophy underpinning the practices of MSC, and excellent meditation guiding skills.
I am an enabler. This is my skill.
I enable others also as a mindfulness and compassion based psychotherapist, mentor and supervisor
I also enable others as an educator in higher, community and professional education where I design, lead and teach mindfulness and compassion-based therapeutic programs.
I am part of the teaching team of Center For Mindful Self-Compassion. Here I teach Live Online Mindful Self-Compassion and lead its new LGBTQ+ Circle of Practice.
I teach in the UK and all over the world: children, teenagers, adults of all ages. I am particularly sensitive to the needs of people from diverse and/or marginalized backgrounds: LGBTQ+, BIPOC, refugees, disabled and women in patriarchal societies
