About
Meet Phyllis
I’m Phyllis, and I lead the sessions at Mindful Potteries.
Over the past decade I have worked in the mental health sector with two charitable organisations, supporting people through homelessness, addiction, illness and bereavement. That work gave me a unique insight into how really hearing another person’s experience is rewarding and empowering for everyone involved.
I bring that same attention to every session. Together we build your own set of tools and resources for navigating life’s challenges, in a space that is non-judgemental, empathetic and understanding.
Stoke-on-Trent was built by people who made things carefully, by hand, one at a time. Mindful Potteries brings that same patient attention to everyday life.
Questions
Good to know
I’ve never meditated. Is that OK?
Yes. Most people who come along are new to it. Every practice is guided and explained before we start.
Is it religious?
No. Mindfulness has roots in Buddhist practice, but these sessions are entirely secular and open to people of any faith or none.
What should I wear or bring?
Comfortable clothes and a layer, as you’ll be still for a while. Chairs, mats and blankets are provided.
Is the venue accessible?
We aim to use a step-free venue. Get in touch before you come and we’ll check the details for you.
Is this therapy?
No. Mindfulness can help with stress, but it isn’t a replacement for medical or psychological care. If you need urgent help, call NHS 111, or Samaritans free on 116 123, any time.
