Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is an 8-week evidence-based therapy program which has been shown to reduce the impacts associated with depression, anxiety, and stress. This is provided on an individual basis.
Mindfulness is a non-judgmental way of paying attention to the present moment with compassion. Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is designed to bring awareness to the habitual ways of being that can lead to depressive and anxious spirals.
MBCT combines the skills of CBT and mindfulness-based practices, helping participants learn how to respond in more skillful ways to increase well-being and decrease suffering.
