In his work as a counsellor in private practice and as a Macmillan counsellor in a local hospice he uses mindful practices and teaches Mindful Compassion to patients. In addition, he regularly runs training retreats for health care professionals and the public. He has trained with a variety of the leading teachers and researchers in the areas of meditation, mindfulness, compassion and self-compassion. His teaching is supported by research he carried out for his MA in counselling, which looked at the impact of neuroscience on theory and practice. This is a field that he continues to explore in relation to the practice of meditation.
