Mindfulness and Behavioural Therapies

These therapies are particularly effective in managing a range of mental health issues, from anxiety and depression to stress and PTSD.

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)

MBCT combines cognitive therapy techniques with mindfulness strategies. It is designed to break the cycle of recurring depression and chronic unhappiness. MBCT teaches individuals to focus on the present moment while accepting and acknowledging their thoughts and feelings without judgment. This approach helps in reducing the recurrence of depression, especially for those with a history of mental health issues.

Behavioural Activation

Behavioural Activation is a therapy that focuses on engaging individuals in activities that they find meaningful and enjoyable. It's based on the principle that positive activity can lift mood and alter negative thought patterns. This therapy is often used to treat depression, encouraging patients to develop more active and fulfilling lives.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

ACT is a form of therapy that helps individuals accept what is out of their personal control, while committing to action that enriches their life. It uses mindfulness and behavioural strategies to increase psychological flexibility. This therapy is effective in treating a variety of mental health conditions, including anxiety disorders, depression, and OCD.

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)

Developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn, MBSR is a structured program that uses mindfulness meditation to reduce stress. It is often used to help with conditions such as anxiety, chronic pain, and stress-related health problems.

Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)

This therapy is particularly effective for individuals who struggle with self-criticism and low self-esteem. CFT integrates techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy with mindfulness and concepts of compassion and self-compassion.

Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP)

Designed specifically for individuals recovering from addictive behaviours, MBRP incorporates mindfulness practices to help prevent relapse. It teaches awareness of triggers and habitual reactions, and how to respond in a healthier way.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

DBT is a comprehensive cognitive-behavioral treatment that is also heavily influenced by mindfulness principles. It's particularly effective for individuals with borderline personality disorder, eating disorders, or self-harm tendencies.
