Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, also known as mindfulness CBT, is a therapy that combines traditional cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) with mindfulness. When combined with CBT, the increased awareness gained from mindfulness-based approaches is used to change our mental life and inform our choice-making, liberating us of old habits of mind.

How our therapy can help you

Cognitive behavioural therapy is a treatment which supports the identification of negative thoughts and limiting patterns of behaviour – supporting progression towards healthier habits. Mindfulness is the practice of training attention and awareness, in an attitude of self-acceptance and compassion.

‍At Harley Row Clinic, your Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) therapist will work with you to assess and understand what you would like to achieve through your mindfulness therapy sessions, tailoring a treatment programme to meet your individual needs and goals. MBCT incorporates mindfulness techniques such as mindfulness meditation which help you to focus on the present moment. Learning to practise mindfulness helps improve mental health.

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy can be an effective treatment psychological intervention for a range of mental health issues: ADHD, anxiety disorders, low mood, and unhappiness.

What to expect

You will be taught cognitive concepts to enable re-framing of your historic beliefs and usual negative associations while integrating various parts of the brain and developing new neural pathways to support healthier and happier ways of being, leading to improved mental health. Our trained MBCT therapists will guide you through this process. Practicing mindfulness and learning cognitive concepts can help you do what works for you rather than second-guessing yourself. Cultivate mindfulness by focusing on the moment without distraction from your inner or outer world. Participate in life without feeling self-conscious. Pay close attention to what is going on around you and take a non-judgmental stance.

‍
The strategies you will learn in sessions can be effective within 4-8 weeks of practice, depending on the level of engagement both in and between sessions. The skills gained are transferable into everyday life, enabling them to be resources on an ongoing basis in all areas of your life, connecting your external and internal world.
