My Story
Hi there! I am Issie.
​
Several years ago, I struggled with several mental health challenges. I tried multiple therapies, but unfortunately, all felt like temporary fixes. In an attempt to get better, I decided one day to take the power back, exploring self-help and searching for different ways I could care for myself.
Many books and podcasts later, I came across mindfulness, which completely transformed my life. I felt as if there was a whole new way of living for me that brought a lot more colour, calm and compassion into my life, so I decided to take a BPS-approved qualification. Now, I hope to encourage others to live more fully in the present and journey inwards to find their true selves.​
Alongside my Mindfulness qualification, I have a BSc Psychology with Education degree and have worked as a Mental Health Research Assistant, Counselling Centre Copywriter and Policy Officer at an educational charity.
​
​Because of my background, I combine evidence-based work with spirituality in a way that is both practical and also deeply personal.
My Approach
Empathy & Personalisation
I use a person-centred and trauma informed approach, handpicking and tailoring each meditation to your visual preferences and underlying needs, therefore not every client will get the same meditation scripts and sessions.
Psychology backed
My programs are a combination of the Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy Program (MBCT) as well as the Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Program (MBSR), the two most researched and evidence-based mindfulness programs.
Teaching is conducted online, each session includes:
- a combination of slides
- tailored meditations
- practical tools and reflective exercises to support your unique goals
- recorded meditations after each session so you can sustain this practice even outside our sessions
