About 

I believe that sometimes the most important thing we can do is pause. In a world that often feels busy, demanding and constantly moving, creating space to notice our thoughts, emotions and experiences can help us live and work with greater awareness and intention.

I trained in mindfulness facilitation with the Mindfulness Association.

Through Pause Point, I bring together my experience in mindfulness, education and my own journey with ADHD to support individuals and organisations in developing greater awareness, resilience and a more compassionate relationship with themselves.

My journey

My journey to creating Pause Point has been shaped by a combination of communication, education, mindfulness and my own personal experiences. Earlier in my career, I worked in journalism and publishing, including roles as Editor-in-Chief and Managing Editor. Working in fast-paced environments taught me a great deal about communication, decision-making and the pressures people can experience when demands are high.

Alongside this, I spent over 10 years teaching adults internationally, including professionals developing their communication and business skills. Through teaching, I discovered how much I valued creating spaces where people could learn, reflect, and grow.

Supporting learners from different backgrounds showed me the importance of meeting people where they are, understanding their individual experiences, and helping them develop confidence in their own abilities.

Over time, mindfulness became an increasingly important part of my own life. Through regular practice and training with the Mindfulness Association, I began to explore how mindfulness could support people in developing greater awareness, resilience, and self-compassion.

These experiences eventually came together to shape Pause Point — bringing together my understanding of communication, learning, mindfulness, and the challenges people face in modern life.

Mindfulness and ADHD

Receiving my own ADHD diagnosis as an adult gave me a new perspective on many aspects of my life — including attention, emotions, energy, and the way I experience the world. It also made me really curious to discover how mindfulness can support people with ADHD.

Mindfulness is not about changing who we are or trying to make our minds work differently. Instead, it can help us develop greater awareness of our thoughts, emotions and patterns, by creating more space to respond rather than simply react.

This personal understanding, combined with my mindfulness training and experience supporting adults, has shaped the development of ADHDPause — a space where adults with ADHD can explore mindfulness in a way that respects how their minds work, while recognising the strengths that come with neurodivergence.

My approach

Mindfulness isn't about escaping the challenges of everyday life. It's about learning how to meet those challenges with greater awareness, curiosity and compassion.

Whether I am working with an organisation, a team or an individual, my approach is the same: creating a space where people can pause, notice what is happening, and develop greater choice in how they respond.

Mindfulness is a practice, not a quick fix. It is not about becoming a different person or removing difficult thoughts and emotions. It is about developing a kinder relationship with ourselves and learning to navigate life with greater clarity and intention.

At Pause Point, I combine practical mindfulness with an understanding of the realities people face in modern life — from workplace pressures and competing demands to the unique experiences and strengths of living with ADHD.

Why Pause Point?

Pause Point was created from a belief that everyone deserves the opportunity to develop greater awareness, wellbeing and choice in their lives.

Mindfulness should not feel inaccessible or reserved for those who already have the time, resources or confidence to seek it out. Over time, I hope Pause Point can help make mindfulness-based support available to a wider range of people, including those who may not otherwise have access to it.

Through our work with individuals and organisations, the aim is not only to support healthier ways of living and working, but also to create a positive impact beyond those who directly take part. The ripple effect! 

For me, Pause Point is about creating spaces where people can pause, understand themselves more clearly and make choices that support a healthier future.
