As this week is Mental Health Awareness Week, we wanted to share some mindfulness resources you can access through Wiseradviser 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.
