Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is an approach designed specifically for individuals who experience repeated bouts of depression or chronic unhappiness. It integrates principles of cognitive therapy with meditative practices and attitudes that foster mindfulness.

Recent research indicates that individuals who have experienced clinical depression three or more times in their lives find that learning mindfulness-based skills can significantly reduce the likelihood of depression returning.

What is MBCT For

  • Depression and Anxiety: MBCT can help alleviate symptoms of both depression and anxiety.
  • Food and Eating Issues: It supports individuals struggling with food-related problems and unhealthy eating habits.
  • Low Mood and Negative Thoughts: It can address persistent low moods and negative thinking patterns.
  • Body Sensations: It helps manage physical sensations such as weariness and sluggishness.

If you identify with any of these issues, mindfulness-based therapy may be suitable for you. MBCT helps individuals distance themselves from their thoughts and emotions, teaching them to recognize their sense of being. It provides participants with essential tools to combat depressive symptoms as they arise.

By focusing on the present moment and becoming more aware of their thoughts and feelings without judgment, individuals can reduce the impact of negative emotions.

Is Mindfulness-Based the Same as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy?

While MBCT incorporates elements of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), it differs by integrating mindfulness practices.
