Mindfulness
Mindfulness teaches you to be present in the moment, without judgement. Eight weeks of practice can reduce depression relapse risk by 60%.
What is Mindfulness?
Mindfulness means intentionally paying attention to the present moment, your thoughts, feelings and body sensations, without judging them as good or bad. Rooted in Buddhist meditation, it has been systematically studied and integrated into evidence-based therapy since the 1970s.
The most structured applications are MBSR (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction) and MBCT (Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy), which specifically targets depression relapse prevention.
How does it work?
Being, not doing
We spend much of our lives on automatic pilot, in the past or future. Mindfulness trains you to return, again and again, to the present moment.
Observer, not judge
By observing thoughts and feelings with curiosity rather than reacting, you create space. You are not your thoughts, you notice them.
What can you expect?
You learn core mindfulness practices: breathing meditation, body scan, mindful movement.
You explore how your mind works: the habits of thought that add to suffering.
You practise recognising early warning signs of stress or low mood.
You develop a home practice routine of 20–40 minutes per day.
You apply mindfulness informally in daily life: eating, walking, conversations.
