About MBCT

The Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) programme is closely modeled on the MBSR with some important differences designed specifically to help us deal with depressive mood states. The programme has been shown to be highly effective in preventing depressive relapse and in treating other psychological conditions, including anxiety and stress-related conditions. MBCT is included in the NHS NICE guidelines and is increasingly used in therapeutic practice.

While the content and learning outcomes of the course are very similar to our other 8-week mindfulness courses, this particular course presents an opportunity for participants to learn new ways of managing and preventing episodes of low mood and anxiety in a group that shares a history of struggling with the same issues. 

By training ourselves to focus our attention on the present moment, MBCT can help us:

• Cope better with emotional challenges; 
• Change our relationship with difficult thoughts and feelings;
• Learn skills to reduce the risk of further episodes of low mood or depression; and 
• Increase a sense of calm and wellbeing.
