Welcome to my Psychological and Mindfulness-Based Interventions website which has loads of free resources to support your mental health, well-being and increased joy in your life! I am encouraging people to pause a little more in their busy days to notice the ordinary moments, which can transform them into extraordinary moments! It is so important for our mental health, bodies and nervous systems to acknowledge the challenges and sorrows in our lives too, rather than ignoring them or being lost in thinking about them. With some training, we can learn to be present a little more, rather than lost in the future or past, which can be exhausting and unhelpful! We all tend to do this but there is training available for our busy monkey minds! The training programmes I offer include the strongly evidence-based Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) and Positive Neuroplasticity (PNP). I have been very lucky to train in person with the brilliant creators of these highly effective programmes, such as Dr. Mark Williams, Dr. John Teasdale & Dr. Zindel Segal (MBCT), Dr. Kristin Neff & Dr. Chris Germer (MSC) and Dr. Rick Hanson (PNP).

Feel free to read about these programmes, explore my free Guided Audio meditations, Video Teachings, Posts, Blogs or check out some videos from Wellness Areas of Festivals, where I have presented. I am passionate about this work and want to support as many people as I can through these free resources for people to try them out. If someone feels like moving to the next level of a formal 4 or 8-week training, there are lots of options available also. Through my work at the School of Psychology in University College Dublin (UCD), on the Masters in Mindfulness-Based Interventions and my own clinical practice, I aim to bring the highest quality information and resources to the general public.

My Tops Tips to support your mental health, body and wellbeing are to get some exercise each day, even a short walk, breathe in some fresh air and drink a couple of extra glasses of water a day. The brain and body love to be oxygenated and hydrated. Perhaps pause and do a little practice in the morning and add a few extra healthy snacks during your day. A big one at the moment is to try to reduce your social media access a little (it’s like a drug for our brain) and get into nature or a park with the phone on silent at least once a week. Re-engage in your senses like a child would: noticing smells, tastes, touch, sounds and sights as if for the very first time. This can be kind of mindblowing how lovely some of the moments of our lives can be when we shift our focus a little to what’s already here, which can allow us to notice, enjoy and engage more, with the precious moments of our lives. Maybe even this week explore reconnecting with an old hobby you used to enjoy! It’s not rocket-science, but we do need reminders!!

Wishing you well and feel free to connect! Enjoy and thanks for visiting
