"Having dome some Mindfulness Based CBT before, I had some pre-assumptions that it did not ‘sit’ or resonate well with me and I was pleasantly surprised by this workshop in that it helped me abandon these judgments. I surprised myself by fully participating and engaging with the material, particularly the experiential exercises. I will take the ethos and the skills of Mindfulness Based CBT and apply them with zest in my clinical practice and my everyday personal life and development. Thank you."

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT).
A 3-day course.
This course concentrates much more on Mindfulness than it does on CBT. So it explains why Mindfulness meditation is likely to help recurrently depressed people, looks briefly at the published evidence that confirms that it can, and the NICE guidelines that commend it, but spends most of the time in experiential exercises and in discussing those exercises. There is a small amount of lecture input, but listening to lectures on Mindfulness is not a sensible pastime so the course focuses on understanding Mindfulness, acquiring the ability to practise Mindfulness meditation, and the ability to convey it to others.
