Testimonials
I would certainly recommend it to other students
I really enjoyed sharing the experience of learning mindfulness meditation techniques as a group and learning from the experience of others. I thought the course was very valuable, well-taught and fun and I intend to continue to expand on the techniques I learned through the programme.

What Elizabeth's students say ...
The Mindful Skills programme has developed from the research-led course devised and delivered by Dr Elizabeth English for over a decade at Cambridge University. The research results were outstanding, as published in The Lancet (2017).
Hear how students who attended
the course describe it.
I just wanted to say thank you very much for this lovely course which has helped so much… I have to confess that now I’m a little bit “anxious” about not seeing you every week But I’m sure I will be able to apply everything you have taught us. Thank you very much once again.
This journey has completely changed my attitude and perspective towards life. When I started the Mindfulness course I was burnout and even low-mood. Now, even if life still presents strong waves, I know it is possible to sail through them and this can make the difference.
I signed up for this course to seek for peace and a more systematic understanding of mindfulness. The course was relaxing and the teacher was absolutely loving and capable of making you feel valued and included.

Overall the experience has been very soothing and I loved it. The mindfulness course also helped me to improve my ability to handle the stresses of daily life. I also enjoyed your excellent mentoring [on the committee]
Today I was craving for my meditation for the first time. Craving like I wanted cake. (And I love cake. Especially the chocolate ones.) This feeling made me feel happy and grateful. I want to thank you because without your guidance and support that I wouldn’t have been able to feel this way about mindfulness. Also, your ceaseless effort to make people share their mindfulness experience has been amazing. Hearing and sharing each others perspective was definitely one of the best part of the course. I will fill in the official feedback form, but I wanted to thank you in a more personal way. Grazie!
I found this course delightfully exploratory and very yummy. I really appreciated the group atmosphere and looked forward to entering the bubble with the group each week. I felt that Elizabeth helped the group to feel at ease and safe in working together and that we built something special together. I miss the group! Moving between sharing in pairs and back to the group worked really well because it meant private things could be shared, or not. The diversity of the people in the group and the space given for people to express themselves and how much they love the course at the end of the session were particularly wonderful aspects for me. I would have liked it to be even longer!
I just wanted to say a massive thank you for the sessions. They were really helpful in changing my perspective which was much needed! Thank you so much.

These programmes are suitable for anyone who wants deep learning and real transformation. You may be a creative, an entrepreneur, a leader or manager – or simply someone keen to overcome challenges.

WHO TEACHES THE PROGRAMME?
Every aspect of the programme is led directly by me, Dr Elizabeth English, PhD. I take a limited number of clients so that I can give each person my best attention.
