Denise Washkansky is a Clinical Psychologist, Coach, and Mindfulness teacher. She works with individuals and groups in Cape Town, South Africa. She runs Mindfulness courses for beginner and more advanced levels. For those who have done a mindfulness course and want to integrate mindfulness into their lives over time, she holds ongoing groups called Mindful Circles. Denise loves this work and welcomes each opportunity to help someone find more joy and aliveness in their own being.

She draws on a number of theoretical models having studied under various teachers locally and internationally. Areas of study include Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Process-work Psychology, the Diamond Approach, Non-dualism, Zen Coaching, Emotionally focussed therapy and MBSR among others.

Denise was introduced to meditation about 25 years ago and since then meditation and Mindfulness have become a solid foundation for her work and personal life. She was trained as a Mindfulness facilitator in New York in 2009 by Jon Kabat-Zinn, the founder of the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction programme.
