Mindfulness based driver training in Bristol
DVSA Grade A Driving Instructor and Integrative Mindfulness and Compassion Teacher.
Mark has been a driver trainer since 2010, teaching learner and qualified drivers in and around Bristol's busy city centre roads. He has built a reputation as a specialist in anxiety and stress, helping clients develop a safe driving practice whilst learning to enjoy, and even love, driving.
Mark first practised mindfulness back in 2005 whilst at university, but didn't start using it in his lessons until he'd been teaching for several years, after seeing some of his learners struggling with nerves and confidence. He later qualified as an integrative mindfulness and compassion teacher with MindfulnessUK, gaining new methods to support people with more severe anxiety symptoms.
With a DVSA Fleet Driver Trainer qualification, Mark helps companies and their fleets of professional drivers access and benefit from the relatively untapped resource of mindfulness in this industry. He is also a Gold standard RoSPA Advanced Driver and Tutor, giving him the skills to teach professional drivers advanced driving techniques.
After just 5 weeks of implementing these techniques, a group of clients experienced a 30% drop in fear of driving in heavy traffic, a 40% drop in finding driving difficult, and a 43% drop in finding driving stressful.
My anxiety has nearly completely disappeared all together, it's a long way from what it was. I began this course worried at the thought of getting in my car… I was so anxious. Slowing down and being kind to others are sentiments I kept repeating to myself during these 5 weeks. I am very impressed with the difference it's made.
