Mindfulness based cognitive therapy 

What is Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)?

 

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is a powerful, evidence-based approach designed to help individuals break the cycle of negative thought patterns that can lead to depression, anxiety, and stress. By integrating the principles of cognitive behavioral therapy with mindfulness practices such as meditation and present-moment awareness, MBCT helps clients develop a healthier relationship with their thoughts and emotions.

​

In MBCT, clients learn to observe their thoughts without judgment, reduce rumination, and respond to challenging situations with greater clarity and calm. This approach is especially effective for individuals who have experienced recurrent depression, but it can benefit anyone looking to improve emotional resilience and mental well-being.

​

MBCT is typically delivered in an 8-week structured program, either individually or in a group setting, and includes guided meditations, cognitive exercises, and home practice.

Benefits of MBCT may include:

​

• Reduced risk of depression relapse

• Improved emotional regulation

• Enhanced self-awareness

• Decreased anxiety and stress

• Greater overall well-being

​

Whether you're navigating emotional difficulties or simply seeking greater peace of mind, MBCT offers practical tools for lasting change.
