ABOUT THERAPEUTIC MINDFULNESS
Therapeutic Mindfulness brings contemplative practice and psychological reflection into the same space.
Leon and Kirsty approach the work from different disciplines. Those differences are deliberate: each brings a distinct way of attending to experience while sharing a commitment to curiosity, care and thoughtful practice.
MINDFULNESS AND CONTEMPLATIVE PRACTICE
Leon leads the mindfulness and contemplative side of Therapeutic Mindfulness.
His approach is shaped by Vipassana practice, Buddhist contemplative psychology, phenomenology and an ongoing interest in how attention changes our relationship to experience.
His role within Therapeutic Mindfulness is contemplative rather than psychotherapeutic.
PSYCHOLOGY AND PSYCHOLOGICAL REFLECTION
Kirsty is an Educational Psychologist whose work is informed by psychodynamic, developmental and relational perspectives.
Within Therapeutic Mindfulness she brings psychological reflection to the group process and provides the individual psychology sessions that form part of the six-week program.
TOGETHER
Therapeutic Mindfulness does not try to turn mindfulness into psychotherapy or psychology into meditation.
The value lies in allowing the two perspectives to inform one another while keeping their roles clear.
