Mindfulness mentoring
- Do you want to explore taking mindfulness into your daily life, helping you make wiser choices and feeling more resourced in managing life’s challenges?
- Interested in mindfulness but don’t like learning in a group setting?
- Used a meditation app but have questions that the app isn’t answering?
- Perhaps you’ve got a mindfulness self-book and would like someone to help you work through it.
- Maybe you’ve done a course and would like to go deeper, or just get back on track with your practice.
Our one-to-one Mindfulness Mentoring sessions could be for you. Sessions will be with our experienced and trained mindfulness facilitator. To get the most from these sessions, you’ll need to be prepared to fit in a regular meditation practice (at least three times a week) into your routine.
Sessions can be in person at our city centre venue or online via Teams or Zoom.
What happens in a mindfulness one-to-one session
It depends what you want to get from the session. Unlike a group course, we can personalise the sessions to your needs. Usually, we’ll start with a brief arriving meditation, and then the rest of the session will be a discussion guided by your aims. If we’re working through an 8 week course, or from a book, we’ll discuss the teachings for the week.
Whether you’re working through a course, a book, or have your own meditation practice, you’ll be expected to make time in between the sessions for your own practice. We have some recorded meditations for you to use if you need guidance, particularly if you’re working through our own 8 week course. We can also coach you around finding motivation for practice, and help you work through what obstacles there are preventing you from finding time to practice regularly.
Session costs
Sessions cost £36 (£30 plus VAT) and are 45 minutes to 60 minutes long. We won’t charge you until we’ve arranged your first session. Fill out our online form and we’ll get back to you to arrange a conversation with you.
Who will I see?
Ruth Rosselson, our resilience co-ordinator, will be running these sessions. She is accredited by BAMBA (British Association for Mindfulness Based Approaches) and has been running Manchester Mind’s mindfulness programme for the past 9 years. She created our mindfulness and relaxation for menopause course, our 8 week mindfulness for stress course and 6 week introduction to mindfulness course. She has been meditating since 2005 after coming to mindfulness to help her live with the chronic pain and unpredictability of rheumatoid arthritis.
What happens next
Please fill out our mindfulness enquiry form – let us know what you’d like from the sessions, whether you’d prefer face-to-face or online sessions. Ruth will then get in touch to arrange a phone call with you to chat about the sessions, and help you decide whether you’d like to go ahead. Once we’ve agreed on the session time and location, we’ll send you a link to pay for your session.
You can also contact [email protected] if you have any questions.
Thank you Ruth for your patience and calm teaching
