Tim Segaller – Coach, Mindfulness Coach / Trainer

Tim is co-founder and co-director of Rising Minds, a social enterprise providing life coaching and mindfulness training in a range of settings, including to those on a low income. He came to interpersonal work first as a mediator, then as a coach and a mindfulness trainer – after 13 years’ communications and project management experience in the private and voluntary sectors. Tim holds a First Class BA Honours degree in Classics from Oxford University.

Tim’s working style combines warmth and sensitivity with robustness and clear insight. This enables clients to relax into the work, gain quick insights into themselves, and take courage to get into action. His particular strength is in working intuitively with what’s alive for people in the moment, helping them to access deeper drives and values and then to work creatively with them.
