Mindfulness training & Counselling in Sydney's Inner west
|
Welcome, I'm Tienne Simons and I am the founder of HeadRest. HeadRest provides counselling/psychotherapy and mindfulness training to individuals and the community.
I established HeadRest in 2014 when I became convinced that the Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction group program was a useful addition to individual counselling and in some cases more appropriate. This has proven to be the case and 6 years later we have run 4-6 courses a year in Marrickville. I have a commitment to providing personalised affordable and accessible services and attempt where possible, to accommodate all income brackets. Please call if cost is an issue for you. In response to Covid 19 many of our groups and even some of our counselling have moved online. We have been surprised at how effective this is and how lovely it can be to continue meeting with a group and familiar faces despite being in separate venues. |

From the blog.MBSR-on ABC Catalyst iviewABC Catalyst filmed an MBSR class in Sydney in late 2018 and this screened in early Feb. I was impressed to see how many personal stories and how much of the research they were able to cpature and present in just 1 hour. The courage and determination of the participants was humbling, and I found myself cheering them on throughout the program.
It's still on Iview and worth watching if you've done an MBSR course before or if you are contemplating one. I won’t give away too many spoilers but will share 2 things that stood out for me.
