Sustaining our practice
Led by an experienced facilitator and backed by scientific research presented in an easy to understand format, each session covers particular exercises and topics that are examined within the context of mindfulness.
These include different forms of mindfulness meditation practice and mindful awareness and are designed to guide you through establishing (or deepening) a meditation practice, thereby allowing mindfulness to become part of your day to day life.
Personal workbooks and meditation downloads are provided for all participants, along with inter-class support.
Expected Outcomes
Mindfulness has been the subject of growing attention and interest in recent years, thanks to a rapidly expanding evidence base. This demonstrates it can be helpful for many mental and physical health problems, such as stress, anxiety, high blood pressure, IBS, CFS/ME, fibromyalgia and depression, in addition to promoting general physical and emotional wellbeing (Mindfulness Research, 2011).
Researched benefits include:
A greater capacity for relaxation and calmness
Less worry, anxiety and lower instances of depressive episodes
Enhanced emotional control, resourcefulness and resilience
Improved self-confidence and creativity
Better sleep quality

Robert Broughton
Managing Director of NCMC, Mindfulness Instructor, Supervisor and Mentor
Robert’s work is continually inspired by his own practice, a fascination of mind and emotions, and a concern for the wellbeing of others. He believes we all have the potential to improve our quality of life through greater awareness, compassion and authenticity.
Journey to mindfulness
Robert’s initial introduction to meditation was through martial arts where he found meditation both calming and a natural approach into greater embodiment of the skills being taught. Reading Sogyal Rinpoche’s book ‘The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying’ in 1997 lead to a more serious meditation practice.
Whilst studying emotional intelligence in 2007 Robert was inspired by Jon Kabat-Zinn’s MBSR course. Since then he hasn’t looked back taking much enjoyment and inspiration from his own ongoing practice and teaching mindfulness.
Teaching experience
Robert started teaching meditation courses in 2009. Since then he has taught over 100 mindfulness courses within the NHS, Cancer Charities, Schools and to the public. He has also spoken about mindfulness in healthcare on many occasions and in 2014 he was invited to join Leeds University/White Rose Consortium for Mindfulness in Education research team as an expert member. Robert qualified as a mindfulness supervisor and mentor from Bangor University in 2017.
Continued personal & professional development
Robert enjoys studying, reading and practicing mindfulness meditation. He embraces Buddhist philosophy and western psychology, psychoanalysis and neuroscience and views his personal development as core to his teaching.
Personal interests and hobbies
In his spare time Robert enjoys mountain trekking including achieving a life time aspiration in 2017 of climbing to Mount Everest Base Camp. He is also a keen explorer of the natural world, contemplative photographer and book collector.
The mindfulness and welbeing training workshop starts by taking atendees on a journey by the end we understand what success happiness and contentment feels like for us as individual and what prevents us from achieving these feelings daily.
?Mediation is a non-judgemental, confidential space which allows individuals to speak openly and honestly about concerns. The use of an external party creates trust and confidence in the process. A coaching and friendly approach help individuals to come to a mutual agreement on how to move forward.
This course will introduce you to different branches of psychology, including Psychoanalysis, Behaviourism, Cognitive Approaches, Social Psychology, Developmental Psychology and Positive Psychology.
Mindfulness is a practical technique for developing a greater sense of awareness and focus on the present moment. It is the opposite of mindlessness, meaning that actions and reactions become conscious and deliberate. It is an extremely useful tool for any busy work environment.
The mindfulness based stress reduction programme (MBSR) is designed to help you learn new ways of managing difficult physical sensations, feelings and moods. The core skill that you will learn is mindfulness, a way of paying attention, on purpose, non judgementally.
