Paul’s story
I am living proof that the tools and practices of Mindfulness have the capacity to transform people’s lives for the better.
After 15 years in the cut-throat, high-stress world of daily news journalism I was completely burnt out – mentally, emotionally and physically.
The end of a significant relationship in difficult circumstances was the final straw, sending me into a downward spiral of depression, anxiety and insomnia.
I had been meditating off and on for some years prior to this, but finding myself in this difficult place led me to focus on Mindfulness in a new way.
Over the following weeks, months and years, Mindfulness helped me to come out of this dark place and to transform my life.
I learnt to bring warm awareness to my challenging thoughts, emotions and difficult experiences rather than getting tossed around by them like a cork in the ocean. I developed the inner resources of calm, clarity and resilience that helped me to navigate the difficult time I was having.
Today, I continue to receive the profound benefits of Mindfulness and discover new ones. Mindfulness has become a key pillar in my life, the foundation for my work, my relationships and the way I show up in the world.
It is my desire to share these benefits with others that motivates me to teach Mindfulness and to help people through one-on-one coaching and counselling.
