Combining mindfulness meditation with traditional cognitive therapy, Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is an effective and gentle therapy that teaches participants how to manage stress, ruminations, difficult emotions and chronic pain.

MBCT is now very popular internationally and is backed by clinical scientific research. The program was developed in the UK and is based on the highly commended 8 week Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program created by John Kabat-Zinn from the Centre of Mindfulness, Massachusetts USA.

The MBCT/MBSR programs are designed to help people through chronic mental and physical distress.

Through the practice of mindfulness, participants discover a new way to relieve distress, manage challenging symptoms and find peace
