As more and more advanced spiritual teachings and technologies are becoming accessible and popular in the culture today, what does mindfulness have to offer to the practice of psychotherapy

‘Who are you?’ said the Caterpillar.
 This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation.
Alice replied, rather shyly, ‘I – I hardly know, Sir, just at present – at least I know who I was
when I got up this morning, but I think I must have changed several times since then.’ 
– Lewis Caroll, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.
Jinny summarizes the content of her talk thus: "In this session we will explore the link between mindfulness and psychotherapy and the
usefulness of combining these approaches in our work. We will be guided through a
mindfulness meditation, and later explore the Buddhist context in which the practice of
mindfulness is rooted. I  will share her way of working using these practices with
her clients.

Jinny Gupta is a UKCP registered psychotherapist with a private practice in West London.
She works with adults, online and in-person. She is also trained in the Mindfulness and
Meditation tradition (Zenways) as a student and teacher, and regularly hosts events and
workshops in this area.
Jinny’s clinical work is informed by the knowledge offered by psychology and neuroscience,
as well as the wisdom of contemplative, meditative traditions of the East. Her practice is
rooted in a holistic, trauma-sensitive approach to growth, healing and transformation. She
uses both evidence-based techniques as well as creative means like meditation, active
imagination to help clients find their subjective truths.
