There is a growing, evidence-based trend to incorporate mindfulness into therapeutic practices, with more and more established therapies such at ACT and MBCT with elements of their foundations within the practice.
Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy
What is Mindfulness Based cognitive Therapy?
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is an adapted form of cognitive therapy that integrates mindfulness practices such as present-moment awareness, meditation, and breathing exercises. Originally developed to treat depression, MBCT is now used to address a variety of mental health challenges by helping individuals cultivate awareness and manage their thoughts and emotions more effectively.
Principles of cognitive therapy and meditative practice
Uniting the principles of cognitive therapy and meditative practice, Dr Gurpreet Kaur is adept at delivering this evidence-based therapeutic approach. The cognitive element of the therapy aids clients in the traditional method of modifying dysfunctional thinking in order to find relief from distress, whilst mindfulness helps one become aware of their thought, feelings, and emotions, on a continual basis. This process will also encourage self-acceptance, as well as teach one how to be present.Other Therapies
