The MBCT courses teach meditation and uses CBT exercises to enable us to work with the mechanisms underlying difficult mind states.
This enables us to recognise negative patterns of mind earlier, and helps us develop greater choice and flexibility over how to respond. This builds resilience and confidence rather than running off old, unhelpful patterns of reacting.
Our Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy courses are led by experienced teacher Kate Gooch (Kavyashri)
