Before I started the course I was full of passion to teach mindfulness but lacked confidence and credibility. Now I have the confidence and credentials to go with my passion. I feel justified to teach the tools and techniques I know to be life-changing and I have a clear approach to do that.

I have a better understanding of the intention behind each practice in the MBCT course and the potential sensitivities or difficulties around these. And I feel equipped to enable my clients to explore and get the most out of each practice.

The thing I appreciated most about the course was the personal contact with teachers, every aspect of this was incredibly valuable… The demonstrations, the opportunity for Q&As, the supervision, the feedback on activities. I feel like I’ve been steered in the right direction by teachers I trust and respect after having navigated by myself for so long.

I’m also really enjoying the marketing workshops! It’s really great to focus in a bit more detail and with the structure on how to grow my business. In the last workshop, it felt like we were really starting to turn the learning-to-teach into a reality of starting our classes.

A Little Mindful

My training with you in 2013 has stayed with me all this time and probably saved my life as I became equipped with the most necessary life tools.

The training was indeed intense but I recall so many fine details. I remember how you would eat your lunch as if it were the first time you had ever eaten. I was so inspired by how you taught and noticed us. I was so happy lying down as I felt I could have a sleep, but oh no, you weren't having that as we all know Mindfulness is all about noticing, observing, wakefulness, falling awake and I was so desperate to sleep. How pleased I never did, I may have missed the beautiful poem, The Guest House by Rumi.

Your kind nurturing personality gave me the confidence to continue my Mindfulness journey these past 8 years and I have taught lots of people many aspects of mindfulness based on the famous 8 week course together with my own personal touch of humanity.

I've been working with Dr Collard on developing my skill set on teaching meditation since 2017. I find her insights invaluable in making the course applicable to the corporate environment where I teach.

Mindfulness based approaches as taught by Patrizia are very much applicable in reducing day to day stress, hence resulting with much better quality of day to day interactions in often stressful work settings.

By reducing stress levels, helping in developing genuine compassion and empathy amongst the people who represent your organisation - your business will reach new levels of success in the most unexpected ways!

Patrizia’s method of teaching the MBCT is refreshing and fun as she creates and embeds the Mindfulness theory into accessible and practical language. Dr Collard is a talented Clinician and Teacher who integrates creative and therapeutic interventions within this teaching. We are grateful for the support and encouragement that she has assisted us with professional development, and without her enthusiasm and ongoing support we would not have achieved a BAFTA award for innovative practice within the NHS Mental Health Service (Black Country Foundation Trust).

We have no hesitation in recommending Dr Collard as a Teacher, facilitator and supervisor of Mindfulness (MBCT) , and hope that you enjoy the training as much as we have.

We have benefited greatly from the wise teaching of Dr Collard, she has guided us through the MBCT Teacher training and continues to offer us supervision of our work within the NHS.

Her approach to teaching is friendly and engaging, this enables us to explore and examine our questions in a safe and comfortable relationship. Dr Collard has a great sense of humour and draws upon her observations of life in a meaningful and humanistic manner, often using metaphors to communicate the message.

We were able to offer our own 8 session programme to staff which started out as a face to face delivery, and then due to the pandemic we moved to online group work. In addition to this we joined up with two colleagues to offer a monthly drop in online mindfulness session. Delivering our work in this way was daunting as it was new to us, but with Dr Collard’s support and enthusiasm we were able to gain proficiency in working in this way. The impact of this investment of skills within us can be evidenced in our clinical work with our individual patient feedback, and positive feedback from staff groups.

We have future plans to continue to develop the service for staff and patients well-being.

We have no hesitation in recommending Dr Collard as a Teacher, facilitator and supervisor of Mindfulness (MBCT) , and hope that you enjoy the training as much as we have.

Patrizia's teaching style has always been something I’ve valued so highly because she had the research and academic acumen but also the warmth, compassion and humanity to connect to her mindfulness and therapy teachings.

It can’t be underestimated how important it is to have a teacher that makes the neuroscience and mindfulness concepts not only accessible but deeply understood by me - so I can have an elegant understanding of mindfulness and therapy.

Our time together has brought depth so I can be creative and use my own knowledge to confidently transform the lives of others. Thanks Patty!

I came to Patrizia to do the 8-week MBCT course in 2018 and found her personalised approach to delivering the course hugely beneficial.

I started taking better care of myself and learnt a different way of relating to my thoughts that has had a huge positive impact on my mental health. I was so delighted with the result that I was inspired to continue working with Patrizia to become a MBCT teacher myself, completing my Teacher Development 1 under her supervision in 2019 and then going on to complete Teacher Development 2 with her in 2021.

On top of the teacher development courses, I've had around 25-hours worth of supervision with Patrizia in the time we've known each other, and she has been instrumental in my continued development as a MBCT teacher.

Patrizia has and continues to guide me through my learning in a manner that embodies mindfulness. The journey, as with life, is not easy yet Patrizia is alongside you each step, supportive, gentle and nourishing; lighthearted and wise.

She sails her ship with purpose and creativity, and her crew, Helen and Monty each enriching the journey with their unique and excellent qualities. My journey is flowing and slowly I take the helm knowing I need only reach out to them for a map or a light and it will be there.

Please jump aboard

In my experience, having a daily mindfulness practice, the right teaching qualifications and the intention of becoming a meaningful mindfulness teacher does not guarantee a smooth path of mindfulness teaching.

The support, wisdom and compassion of Patrizia’s supervision has been invaluable to me; for feeling held and guided during the difficult times and for continuing my lifelong learning in how to live, work and teach more mindfully.

I would absolutely recommend Enter Mindfulness for anyone who’s considering training in MBCT.

I found Patrizia’s supervision so helpful in bringing my existing knowledge to the course but ensuring that Mindfulness and all its wonderful teachings were still the focus.

Being online was great. It made juggling studying and practising alongside managing my own business and personal commitments so much easier, less stressful and more mindful!

I loved the smaller groups throughout the pathway, it felt like a really personalised experience and I always felt comfortable sharing.

I also learned so much from the other teachers in training, with us all coming from various backgrounds, which was lovely and another bonus of being online.

Patrizias knowledge and experience are astounding. Learning from her has been so enjoyable and her guidance throughout my development has been both comforting and invaluable’
