I am an experienced and award-winning mental health trainer, coach and mindfulness and self-compassion facilitator.
I have a particular interest in self-compassion approaches to help manage anxiety in times of uncertainty and relate to ourselves more helpfully during difficulty.
— Kirsty Lilley
I originally qualified as a Registered General Nurse and Occupational Health nurse, I have worked within many different workplace settings.
I have extensive experience in developing strategic approaches for improving mental health and wellbeing at work, working previously as a Mental Wellbeing specialist for National Grid.
I have developed and delivered many sessions which help people to improve their mental health and wellbeing at work — including line manager training, helping managers to feel confident when supporting individuals at work experiencing distress and to create an environment in which people can flourish.
I provide a safe and friendly space to develop mindfulness and self-compassion skills, especially those experiencing pain from physical health difficulties and emotional distress.
I am also a qualified psychotherapist and coach.
Mindfulness is all about present moment awareness without judgement.
Did you know that we spend much of our time on autopilot, missing present moment experience, and this limits our ability to enjoy life to its fullest potential?
Our attention is often pulled away by difficult thoughts and feelings relating to the past and concerning the future.
For thousands of years, various different contemplative traditions have believed that training our minds in compassion can transform our lives.
Psychological research is also showing that learning and developing our ability to relate to ourselves with care and support during difficult times can help us to increase our levels of wellbeing, and give us the inner resources to keep moving forward in the face of disappointment and failure.
The pandemic has brought into sharp focus the relationship between mental health and wellbeing and the workplace.
As we begin to navigate our way out of the lockdown restrictions over the next few months it will be more important than ever that we create working spaces which can support people’s mental wellbeing and respond to distress in ways that are supportive and helpful.

Mindfulness practice can help us to recognise that we are becoming entangled in our thoughts and feelings, living predominantly in our heads and separated from the wisdom of the body. The practice of mindfulness enables us to gently redirect our attention to present moment experience so we can make wiser and more skilful choices about our next steps.
