All work is currently online, via zoom or online learning platforms. You will need a strong internet connection and somewhere private available to you.
For counselling and mindful mentoring that involve mindful movement and breathwork:
You will need space to lay and/or sit down comfortably, depending on the type of work, be warm and private, and to be able to both lay down and sit and move your arms comfortably if we are doing somatic work. You will also need a good wifi connection.
Before a first session you can let me know anything by email, or we can discuss when we first meet, what you’d like to work/focus on. I will usually arrange a brief meeting before we start any work together, where we can check we feel like a good match to work together, ask any questions etc.
Pricing:
For one to one supervision or consultation: 60 minute session fee is £90
For 60 minute counselling and mindful mentoring sessions:
My pricing works using a sliding scale. The scale is based on the Green Bottle Method – a tool of economic justice which aligns with the anti-oppressive values I hold in my practice. This system operates on a basis of trust and I will never ask for proof of income. As the sliding scale is offered in a spirit of generosity, I ask that clients use it honestly.

NiMiN, Neurodivergence in Mindfulness, is a group meeting for neurodivergent meditators, mindfulness teachers or anyone ND identifying and interested. Its free, hosted by Cheetah House and runs approximately quarterly. Myself and my colleague Kelly Birtwell from Manchester University offer out a few short mindfulness practices, ones we hope might be a bit more accessible or interesting to explore, we also make space for ideas, themes and questions about how neurodivergent people experience mindfulness.
