Life can be messy it rarely turns out exactly as we hope or plan. Perhaps relationship or work-life difficulties are causing you emotional pain and mental suffering. Maybe you have been signed off from work, college or university with anxiety or stress, or you’re simply not able to enjoy the ‘sunshine‘ moments of life. Counselling can help you navigate the difficulties that are causing your emotional & mental suffering & provide support as you work towards building a more fulfilled & contented life. Shame is a common theme associated with low self-esteem, however, working together we can reduce its impact to improve your well-being.

One day you wake up and wonder if this is all there is. You feel as though you have lost your joy and your aliveness. You might experience a sense of loss resulting from redundancy, a broken relationship, divorce or reaching a milestone such as children leaving the nest or you may have lost a loved on. Maybe you can't quite put your finger on it but you have a feeling that something is missing in your life. You feel overwhelmed and don't know how to get yourself out of re-occurring cycles of misery.

Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Counsellors
How does mindfulness-based cognitive therapy work?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy originated in the work of John Kabat-Zinn of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. He developed mindfulness-based stress reduction, which is a technique found in yoga and meditation. MBCT is a combination of this type of stress reduction and cognitive behavioral therapy; it essentially quiets emotional distress through mindfulness, utilizing proper breathing and meditation. These techniques aim to bring the individual into the present moment when in a state of distress.
When do I know if I need treatment with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
If an individual’s mind is filled with emotional distress and general negativity, the person may feel trapped. A mindfulness-based cognitive therapist can help a person change their thinking patterns as well as their behaviour through calm acceptance and compassion. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.
What should I expect from mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
This therapy often takes place in group sessions. A therapist will work with the group as well as with each individual. Meditation and breathing exercises are core practices that aim to invite inquiry and discovery into a person’s troubled mental state. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviours and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more realistic way. This therapy is supportive, accepting, and warm.
Is mindfulness-based cognitive therapy effective?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with major depressive disorder have benefitted from this type of therapy; the person accepts their distressed thoughts and also moves into healthier patterns of thinking. This therapy also aims to move an individual away from automatic negative responses. This type of therapy can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioural habits.
