The Mindfulness Now Programme

Congratulations! you have just taken your first step towards achieving your career ambition; to become a mindfulness meditation teacher. The current demand for teachers is outstripping supply and opportunities for qualified teachers continues to grow.

After completing this course graduates will be qualified to teach mindfulness either one-to-one, in groups and within organisations

The Mindfulness Now programme offers an integrated / eclectic approach to mindfulness teaching and aims to equip teachers to work with individuals and groups with many requirements including helping with physical and emotional pain, stress and anxiety, as well as building emotional resilience. After completion of the course, successful graduates are offered the opportunity to join the network of Mindfulness Now licensed and accredited teachers.

Nick Cooke developed the Mindfulness Now programme after his own experience of using mindfulness to help him with his recovery and rehabilitation, including management of pain, following two serious illnesses. He already had considerable experience of learning and practicing mindfulness and, as a therapist, it’s something which for many years he has taught clients to practice.

Mindfulness Now offers a psycho-educational fusion of mindfulness-based approaches, including the evidence-based Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). The latter, developed by Professor Mark Williams and colleagues at the University of Oxford, offers a breakthrough in the treatment of depression, anxiety and emotional trauma, and is recommended by NICE as a treatment of choice for depression.

In 1979 Dr Jon Kabat-Zinn and colleagues at the University of Massachusetts Medical Centre – Stress Reduction Clinic developed a psycho-educational programme called Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) which provides an integration of mindfulness meditation with proven psychotherapeutic approaches into an accessible and evidence-based approach which has been taught worldwide.

Mindfulness Now accredited teachers offer individual 1-to-1, as well as group sessions in mindfulness-based practices.

As well as teaching mindfulness meditation, programmes are offered for stress reduction, anxiety, panic attacks, emotional trauma and pain control, including the 8 weeks Mindfulness Now programme.

The flexibility of the 5 day Mindfulness Now Teacher Training makes it an ideal course for someone who may want to start a new career as a mindfulness teacher and also for people who would like to add mindfulness teaching to the work that they are already doing. This course a very popular CPD qualification for nurses, doctors, teachers, psychologists etc.
