Hannah Clifford and Niamh McAuliffe have worked together for many years both within the NHS and privately as Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapists. As individuals they were both drawn to mindfulness over a decade ago and share a dedication to daily personal practice as well as to teaching.

Hannah and Niamh trained as MBCT teachers together through the Sussex Mindfulness Centre in 2021 and have been co-facilitating groups ever since.

They are accredited MBCT teachers and follow the British Association of Mindfulness Based Approaches (BAMBA) good practice guidelines.

Mindful Gathering was born from their shared commitment to nurturing an environment for participants where people will feel safe and supported in their emerging mindfulness practice.
