It can be easy to rush through life without stopping to notice much. Paying more attention to the present moment – to your own thoughts and feelings, and to the world around you – can improve your mental wellbeing. Some people call this awareness "mindfulness". Mindfulness can help us enjoy life more and understand ourselves better. You can take steps to develop it in your own life.
Peter Helmer, our NHS experienced mindfulness practitioner delivers regular free virtual classes:
- Mondays at 10am and 6pm
- Fridays at 3pm
From 18 October, Peter will be running two lunchtime 30 minute sessions on Mondays at 12pm and Thursdays at 12pm.

“Peter's meditation sessions have been a major part of my life and recovery. Through these sessions, I have learnt coping strategies that I use daily.
"When my mind starts to overthink, focus on fear and negativity, I use the mindfulness techniques Peter has taught me and I feel a sense of ease, relaxation and even hope.”
“The Mindfulness sessions have offered something different to talking and importantly in ways that feel different.”
“Peter has been an enormous help to me. I had been struggling with anxiety and depression when the pandemic hit and things have been difficult, particularly as my family experienced a bereavement. Peter has supported me to deepen my mindfulness practice and this has lessened by difficulties and has ensured that I thrive at work and at home during this challenging period.”
Peter is also available for team sessions and away days. If you are looking for wellbeing support from Peter email him at peter.helmer@nhs.net
