Chris started his career in the corporate world, but always had an incredible passion for teaching and helping people to live better work and personal lives.
So, after exiting his corporate leadership role, he threw everything into seven years of retraining as a psychologist and mindfulness expert, while working in senior positions within the NHS.
Fast forward to 2015, and Chris founded Poole Mindfulness to put that passion fully into practice.
Since then, he’s worked with health professionals, businesses, and individuals, delivering hugely impactful training programmes in person and online.
Chris trained at the Centre for Mindfulness Research and Practice at Bangor University and is a clinical lecturer in psychology and mindfulness, an accredited senior psychotherapist and hugely experienced mindfulness teacher.
