TrainingAnnette Brown School of Hypnotherapy, NLP, Coaching, EMDR, EFT and Mindfulness offers a mindfulness programme of accredited training for those looking to coach in Mindfulness. As all of my training, the course is based on theory and practice and there is lots of practice, as for me, practice makes perfect. I think to be able to coach people in mindfulness, you have to be skilled and without hands on practice, that can’t happen. When dealing with clients it is vital that you are skilled in mindfulness. The wonderful thing about coaching people in mindfulness is it can be taught in groups over an 8-week period or it can simply be taught on a one-to-one basis, it’s your choice and therefore in order of delivering mindfulness correctly, you must firstly work on yourself during the training and experience how wonderful it is. Mindfulness is now a part of the school day for many children. We can help them be the best they can be.

PurposeWe live in an ever-increasing anxious world and the whole purpose of the Mindfulness training is for practitioners to able to bring mindfulness approaches into all aspects of mental health, stress management, social care, the workplace and education. The course is also to provide an understandable training course to facilitate mindfulness being more accessible to a broader range of people through group work or one-to-one treatments. At its most basic level, mindfulness equips you with the skill of training the attention by attending to and focusing on whatever is happening in any given moment. Jon Kabat-Zinn, the founding father of secular mindfulness, described this skill as ‘being alive and knowing it.’ But mindfulness is also useful in helping us to address the kinds of worries that we all experience. In the case of young people, it can help them learn how to work skilfully with the stresses and strains of childhood and adolescence without being swept away by them. These coping skills then remain with them into adulthood.
