Mindfulness training & Counselling in Sydney's Inner west
|
Welcome, I'm Tienne Simons and I am the founder of HeadRest. HeadRest is a small business that provides counselling and mindfulness training to individuals and the community. I established HeadRest Mindfulness Training in 2014 when I became convinced that MBSR was a useful addition to individual counselling and in some cases more appropriate.
We have a commitment to providing affordable and accessible services and attempt to accommodate all income brackets. We'll talk with you, let you know what our courses offer and help you work out whether a group program or individual counselling might work best for you. |

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.
