Nigel Wellings is a psychoanalytic psychotherapist and author who works within a broadly contemplative perspective.

A teacher on the Bath and Bristol Mindfulness Courses and the Sharpham Barn Retreats, Nigel’s previous books include Nothing To Lose: Psychotherapy, Buddhism and Living Life, and Present with Suffering: Being with the Things That Hurt (both with Elizabeth Wilde McCormick), and Why Can’t I Meditate? How To Get Your Mindfulness Practice On Track.
