ADULTS
Mindfulness can be a practical way of developing greater awareness, balance and resilience in everyday life. It offers a way to meet stress and challenges with greater clarity, while cultivating focus, emotional awareness and self-compassion.
I offer mindfulness through one-to-one sessions, courses, workshops, talks and seminars, adapting my approach to different contexts and audiences. My teaching draws on over 15 years of personal mindfulness and yoga practice, 16 years of university teaching and 20 years as a professional translator, alongside specialist mindfulness training and lived experience of burnout and neurodiversity.
My approach is neurodiversity-informed and responsive to individual needs, recognising that there is no single way to learn, communicate or thrive.

Mindfulness courses & Tailored Programmes
I offer general mindfulness courses for adults, as well as tailored programmes and workshops designed around the needs of particular groups, professions and communities. Courses are suitable for complete beginners as well as those wishing to refresh or deepen an existing practice. Sessions provide a supportive space to explore mindfulness and develop practical skills that can be integrated into everyday life. Depending on the audience and context, they may focus on stress reduction and burnout prevention, emotional regulation, focus and attention, resilience, self-awareness, compassion, self-care, communication, or navigating periods of change and transition. I work with: * Parents – supporting self-care, emotional regulation and the challenges of family life. * Teachers and educators – supporting resilience, focus and preventing burnout. * Healthcare professionals – creating space to manage stress, maintain compassion and protect against burnout. * Corporate teams – supporting focus, communication, resilience and workplace wellbeing. * Translators and interpreters – drawing on my 20 years of professional experience to address the particular demands of this high-pressure profession. * Neurodivergent adults – offering mindfulness-informed support, including for people navigating a late diagnosis of ADHD or autism. I also work with individuals navigating significant life transitions, including periods of change, adjustment or personal transformation. If you have a particular group, professional context or need in mind, I can design a programme around it.
1-to-1 Mindfulness
For adults who prefer a more personal approach, I offer individual mindfulness sessions online or in person in South-West London. Sessions are tailored to your needs and may support you through stress, emotional overwhelm, life transitions, difficulties with focus or simply a wish to deepen your mindfulness practice. A programme of sessions provides continuity and allows us to explore mindfulness progressively, while follow-up sessions can be arranged according to your needs. If you'd like to explore whether 1-to-1 mindfulness support could be right for you, I offer a free 30-minute introductory conversation. Details: Duration: 8-10 weeks (depending on the person's needs) Length of each session: 60 minutes Course fee: Online: £85/ session In-person (SW6): £95/ session HOW TO ENROL: 1) Email: claire@bridgemakermindfulness.com to arrange a free online 30-minute information session. This is an opportunity to assess whether the programme is suitable for you, provide all the course information and answer any questions you might have. It also allows me to adapt course content to your needs.
Workshops, Seminars & Speaking
I particularly enjoy bringing mindfulness into workshops, seminars and professional events, where I can introduce participants to practical approaches that can be explored immediately and applied to their own lives and work. I have delivered mindfulness workshops at seminars, conventions and professional events, working with diverse audiences in educational, corporate, healthcare and complementary health settings. I tailor talks, workshops and seminars to the needs of each audience, exploring themes such as stress and burnout prevention, emotional regulation, focus, resilience, compassionate communication and wellbeing. If you are looking for a speaker or would like to explore a mindfulness workshop for your event, team or organisation, I'd be glad to hear from you.
