Hello! I’m Sarah Pace. I have 15 years experience in delivering evidence-based psychotherapies in NHS Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) services around the UK. This led to my interest in Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) as a relapse prevention tool for recurrent clinical depression.
I have been practising meditation since attending an eight-week mindfulness course in 2011. In 2020 I graduated with a distinction Master of Arts (MA) in Teaching Mindfulness and a certificate of competence in teaching MBCT from the University of Bangor.
I am registered with the British Association of Mindfulness-based Approaches (BAMBA) as an MBCT teacher. This registration requires adherence to the UK Good Practice Guidelines for Mindfulness teachers and BAMBA’s ethical standards and governance.
I am a level 2 trained Mindfulness-based supervisor with the Mindfulness Network, in addition to offering Mindfulness-based supervision for trainees in NHS psychological therapies services.
I am a trained, level 3 assessor in Mindfulness-Based Interventions: Teaching Assessment Criteria (MBI:TAC).
I have personal interests in compassion-focused approaches, social equity, food, comedy, and curvy yoga.
