Dr Helen Mursell, clinical psychologist It seems like yesterday when I commenced working in the field of psychology. Fast forward 20 plus years and I feel as passionate today as I did back in 1995! That is because I am privileged to have the heart-warming job of supporting clients to find contentment and live life with purpose and honour their dreams, free from undue emotional pain. Prior to this,
I was a Royal Tennis professional obtaining a world ranking in the top 10. Why am I sharing this? Because this is when I first came to understand the power of the mind. The wonderful book “The Inner Game of Tennis” by Timothy Gallwey helped me to realise my potential through understanding two crucial elements. Firstly, my inner critic would destroy me if I let it and secondly, the way to calm the inner critic was to focus on each point as if nothing else mattered. ‘Just win this point’ was my mantra and later become a metaphor for life. Unbeknown to me, that was my first introduction to the power of mindfulness! Mindfulness is now the corner stone of both my professional and personal life. I want to support you to make mindfulness a part of your life too! After such a rewarding career as an elite athlete and then as a clinical psychologist I am keen to share my knowledge, experience and expertise with you so you too can create the life you want through an empowered mind, strong sense of self and powerful habits.
