General information

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy MBCT / MBSR

Relapse prevention for Depression & tools for Stress, Pain & Anxiety management

Having suffered depressive episodes in the past, are you – or someone you care for - currently NOT depressed AND wanting to stay clear of future episodes?

Are you stressed - or suffering with chronic anxiety or pain?
Are you looking for a self-help alternative (or complement) to medication?
If so, MBCT may be what you are looking for. It’s an 8 week group-work treatment (Approved by the National Institute for Clinical Excellence, NICE, 2003) that combines CBT with mindfulness based approaches. You will learn, practice & take away, mind & body techniques which can:
• Be early warning system for detecting depressive/stress symptoms
• Have a preventative function
• Have a reparative function
• Have a life-enhancing function

You may also benefit from the company and support of other group members who have likewise experienced the disabling effects of chronic depression/stress/anxiety/pain.

And, as a mental health and well-being practitioner, as well as offering a welcome battery re-charging, the course is generally a first step pre-requisite to further training in using mindfulness professionally and, as such, is a very useful CPD opportunity. CPD certificates will be issued on request.
