David Behrens

Mindfulness & Meditation Expert
Professional Experience

David helps clients develop daily, empowering skills in meditation, mindfulness, and breathwork to manage challenging emotions in everyday life and throughout recovery. His practice focuses on mental health and addiction recovery, with particular attention to emotion regulation, stress management, and burnout.

Grounded in decades of contemplative training – including 27 years as an Eastern monk within a traditional Indian yoga lineage – David works one-to-one at a calm, measured pace. Sessions are practical and stabilising: simple techniques, repeated consistently, so clients can build steady routines and regain a sense of agency.

His qualifications span 1980–2007, including Breathworks Teacher Training, MISP (Mindfulness in Schools Programme), and a Level 4 Certificate in Integrating Mindfulness and Compassion in Professional Practice. Discretion and clarity underpin his approach; clients can expect a composed presence, clear boundaries, and tools that translate reliably into daily life.
