Tommy Carr
mindfulness based approaches

"I recently attended a mindfulness session with Tommy. I was hoping to understand how mindfulness could support me, but also how I could support colleagues and It did exactly that. The course was jam packed with useful information, tips and exercises to help myself be more aware of what I was sensing and feeling and to then in turn understand how to help others do the same through meditation and things like breathing methods. Tommy was great at delivering the session, kept us engaged and had loads of useful information and tips that I will take away with me to help both myself and my colleagues find peace! Thank you Tommy!"

As a practitioner, he is compassionate, reliable and thorough , and as a published author he also brings a great deal of expertise in the field of mindfulness, making it accessible for everyday practice. I would certainly recommend him based on his skills."

• Ainsley Bladon - National Adult Mental Health Clinical Lead

"Tommy thinks in depth about his chosen field of mindfulness and has a natural way of bringing this into his practice and his work. He has a knack of bringing all his personal interests together to offer a broad range of mindfulness activities to the general public. From his work as an Occupational Therapist to his interest in forest bathing and taking a mindful walk in nature, Tommy draws from all of his sources to offer a lovely mix of mindfulness based activities."

"Tommy is a dedicated and enthusiastic teacher and leader. As a teacher he has a broad range of skills that creates a warm and supportive group environment where students can learn from his insightful and knowledgeable teachings. I would absolutely recommend Tommy to lead wellbeing workshops and classes, specifically leading mindfulness practice groups."

• Marianna Baschiera - Mindfulness-based Communication and Relationship Coach

"A mindful walk with Tommy along the beach at Sully remains one of my stand out mindful memories for the quality of the experience itself, and as a template for being outdoors mindfully. I’ve really appreciated that over the last few months - recognising the importance of being present and engaging all senses has enhanced my experience of the lovely spring we’ve had this year as well as helped me be resilient enough to get through lockdown. So on all mindfulness fronts - coping, connection, flourishing and empowering change - Tommy’s guided walks and his guided practices on Insight Timer are highly recommended."

• Elizabeth Williams - Chair of the Board at Meddylgarwch Cymru / Mindfulness Wales

"Tommy is a genuine and thoughtful professional and human being and a conscious, compassionate leader. He leaves nobody behind and I have seen this time and again in the way he has interacted with our cohort. I have learned from and with Tommy in our Master's program an have seen his dedication to his practice and teaching over the past 3 years. Tommy embodies mindfulness in his interactions with others and in his professional approach. He is a lifelong learner and creative versatile professional, dedicated to helping people become all they are through mindfulness. I highly recommend Tommy as a mindfulness teacher or in any of his endeavours."

• Victoria Fontana - Mindfulness & Compassion Teacher

"I recently attended an MBCT for Life course with Tommy. The course was superbly organised and led in a virtual setting with great sensitivity and knowledge. There was a good mix of background theory, meditation practice, small and large group work and home practice. The facilitators created a lovely and supportive atmosphere in the group which was felt open and accepting. Thank you for the opportunity and the experience."

"Tommy's energy and hard work in supporting others is amazing to me, especially as his personal life is so full. His passion for teaching mindfulness and for helping people, in whatever way he can, shines through. he also has a healthy scepticism about the subject which serves him well."

• Richard Gray - Mindfulness Teacher

"A very enjoyable, thought-provoking course which taught me a great deal about myself and my reactions to stress. Both Tommy and Laura were excellent facilitators, very nurturing and supportive. I feel that I have developed a number of helpful strategies which I can use in times of stress. I would strongly recommend this course to others."
