Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Well-being

 

According to the internationally recognized Oxford Mindfulness Foundation, those attending MBCT commonly report the following benefits:

​

• Reduced feelings of stress, anxiety, and depression

• Improved ability to cope with pain and illness

• Less worrying and obsessing over things

• Greater appreciation of what is pleasant and enjoyable in life

• Feeling clearer about what is truly meaningful, and living life with a stronger sense of purpose

• Improved overall wellbeing, even in difficult times

“Now is the future that you promised yourself last year, last month, last week. Now is the only moment you’ll ever really have. Mindfulness is about waking up to this.”, Prof. Mark Williams, co-developer of MBCT

We will meet on-line for 2 hours each week, for 8 sessions.  In addition to the 8-week MBCT course curriculum, the programme includes:

• An Orientation session

• A day of silent guided practice

• Ongoing access to our on-line learning platform

• Recordings of the meditations we practice 

• A comprehensive course workbook

​

Each session typically begins with a short, guided meditation, moving into a longer period of guided group meditation practice or mindful movement. 

 

A key feature of the course is how we integrate CBT theory and practice to help us understand how our bodies and minds typically react to stress, anxiety and fluctuating emotions and how we can learn to respond to this in new ways.

 

There is also time in each session for facilitated group discussion where we explore the learning, benefits and challenges arising from our meditation practice.

 

Your home meditation practice is an integral part of the MBCT programme.  You will be invited to commit to finding 30-45 minutes each day to practice recordings of the meditations we do together in our session and complete other home practice activities.

 

Finding time for home practice can seem challenging at first & we will explore how you can make this work in your own busy life during our sessions.

​

Making the commitment to home practice is an integral part of the course and one that participants who have completed the course consistently report is valuable and supportive to integrate positive long term change in your life.
