What is MBSR?

The programme offers training in meditation and mindfulness through practice. To practice living with more awareness, in the present moment, to know what is going on with ourselves and to see where we have choices.

There is exploration of stress, thoughts, emotions, and sensations. The MBSR course is clinically approved by NICE (for the NHS). The course may also promote skills in relaxation, mental focus and resilience.

Who is my Tutor?

Lesley Kidd MSc, a psychotherapist with over 20 years’ experience, I began studying mindfulness and MBSR formally in 2016. Personally, I wanted to improve my own balance, concentration and calm, I had encountered meditation via years of yoga practice, and I wanted to bring the benefits of mindfulness to counselling.

I live and work in France.
