Posted May 6, 2025
As this week is Mental Health Awareness Week, we wanted to share some mindfulness resources you can access through Wiseradviser, the Vulnerability Matters podcast created by our Training & Consultancy team and share how you can learn more through our 'Understanding and Supporting Clients with Mental Health Conditions' E-learning.
Mindfulness exercise with Rebecca Stambridge
Recorded for us by registered psychotherapist and mindfulness teacher, Rebecca Stambridge, this 8-minute guided mindfulness practice is designed to help us be mindful in everyday life and reduce stress and anxiety.
Mindfulness can help us respond differently to difficult thoughts and feelings by cultivating a curious and accepting response to them. If you have 8 minutes and a quiet space, give it a try.
Rebecca is a fully qualified, BACP registered psychotherapist as well as a mindfulness & self compassion teacher. She specialises in self-esteem, stress and anxiety. If you want to learn more from Rebecca about mindfulness, you can also access our 'Spotlight on Mindfulness' Webinar.
Vulnerability Matters Podcast
In our Vulnerability Matters podcast, each episode is presented in a short 20 minute format with a focus on a guest who will change the way that you think and act on vulnerability. The series covers issues ranging from stammering to chronic pain, empathy to loneliness, and fuel poverty to consumer psychology.
