What is Mindfulness?

Mindfulness is about being able to

stay ‘in the moment’- to still a busy mind. It promotes calmness and concentration either with calming exercise, or being still. It is about being present with what is going right now for you- being aware of your surroundings, how you are feeling, focusing on yourself. It could be as simple as making a cup of tea, and focusing calmly on what you are doing right now rather than thinking about what you will do next, your shopping list, where you have to go in a while, and so on.

Mindfulness session

In a session, we will focus on your self-awareness- noticing your posture, breathing, and what your thoughts are. We will gradually focus on the present, what is happening right now, using mindfulness techniques.

Here is a short video about mindfulness in schools from the BBC London Facebook page.

Counselling and Reiki in Market Lavington – Devizes – Wiltshire

~ claire ballardie

I offer psycho-therapeutic counselling in a private setting, in the village of Market Lavington, near Devizes, Wiltshire.

 My work is founded on my own life experience, which led me understand the value of having someone to talk to when life gets too much to cope with alone.

As an Integrative therapist,  I use a holistic approach, to improve your physical and mental health, taking into account how traumatic events impact on our whole being.  When we feel emotionally stressed, anxious, depressed, this has an impact on the body. Bodily symptoms and feelings are invaluable in exploring the causes of distress. Once sense can be made of how we feel in the present, progress can be made into looking forwards with more positivity and joy..

 

I offer Psychotherapy and Reiki, as required, which can have a positive effect on the body’s energy, releasing tension and stress. My particular interests are:

  • Grief
  • Trauma
  • Weight loss issues
  • Disordered eating
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Pet bereavement

 

I have both indoor and outdoor facilities, with options for outdoor therapy, with the healing qualities of being in nature and around animals.

  • FREE introductory phone call (20 minutes)
  •  On-line  sessions on Zoom 
  • Face-to-face counselling
