Facilitator
Cecilie O’Toole is a clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience working across Norway and Australia and holds full registration in both countries.
Alongside her clinical work, she has trained in, practised, and taught mindfulness, with a focus on how it can be integrated into everyday life to support presence, steadiness, and resilience.
She has been practising mindfulness meditation since 2009. She has completed Teacher Trainings through Mindful Academy International, Albir, Spain (2017-2018), Centre for Mindfulness Research and Practice, School of Psychology, Bangor University, UK (2012), and Scandinavian Centre for Awareness Training, Norway (2010), as well as attending retreats and workshops with Jon Kabat-Zinn (Founder of MBSR, author of Full Catastrophe Living and numerous other books on Mindfulness), Dr Mark Williams (co-founder of MBCT) among others.
These experiences have shaped a deep understanding of the importance of, and what it takes to sustain wellbeing in the context of real life, rather than as an abstract ideal.
Cecilie's work is grounded in a strong intention to support other therapists in the important and often demanding work that they do, and to create space for reflection on how they can take better care of themselves, so they are able to live more grounded, sustainable, and fulfilling lives, both personally and professionally.
