What is Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)?
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is an integrative psychotherapy approach that combines mindfulness practices with cognitive therapy techniques. Initially developed to prevent relapse in individuals with recurrent depression, MBCT has since been adapted to address a range of mental health concerns, including anxiety and stress. Our psychiatric doctors and mental health counselors have extensive training in MBCT, ensuring you receive the highest level of care throughout your therapy journey.
How MBCT Works
In MBCT, the psychiatric doctor or mental health counselor works with you to develop mindfulness skills that promote emotional well-being.
The therapeutic process typically involves:
Education: Your psychotherapy sessions will begin with an introduction to mindfulness principles and their application to cognitive therapy.
Skills Development: Your mental health counselor will guide you through mindfulness exercises, such as meditation, designed to increase self-awareness of your own thinking patterns.
Application: Together with your psychiatric doctor or mental health counselor, you'll learn how to apply these mindfulness skills to everyday situations and challenges.
Maintenance: Once you've developed a solid foundation in MBCT, your psychotherapy sessions will focus on maintaining and enhancing your mindfulness practices.
