Mindfulness

Find beauty in the present — through attention, presence, and simple practice.

Future

Self-Hypnosis

Find beauty in the future — gently changing the patterns that hold us back.

Past

Journal & Reflections

Find beauty in the past — writing as a way of noticing what mattered.

About

Hi, I'm Chris.

I'm a mindfulness teacher and hypnotherapist based in Leeds. I help people relax, change unhelpful patterns, and find beauty in everyday life.

Most of what I do sits between contemplative practice and modern psychology — quiet attention, gentle change, and a curiosity about how the mind actually works.

Training & background

  • Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy — UK College of Hypnosis & Hypnotherapy
  • Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy — APT
  • Mindfulness Teacher Training — Mindfulness UK
  • Unified Mindfulness Coach pathway
  • BSc, business and product background
  • Active startup investor and advisor
