Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is specifically designed to help people who have suffered from bouts of depression and to minimise further episodes of depression. The heart of MBCT is gentle, systematic training in Mindfulness .A definition of mindfulness is being able to bring direct, open hearted awareness to what you are doing , while you are doing it. Being able to tune in to what’s going on in your mind and body, and in the outside world, moment by moment. This skill is developed through formal and informal mindfulness practices during the course including , body scan , breath and body and sitting practices , alongside informal practices including mindful eating and walking. MBCT focusses on teaching participants to make a shift in their relationship to the thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations that contribute to depressive relapse and other emotional problems. This enables the participants to be released from the grip of two critical processes that lie in the root of depression and many other emotional problems: The tendency to overthink, ruminate, or worry too much about some things, coupled with a Tendency to avoid, suppress or push away other things. Regular mindfulness practice enables participants to see and understand how these patterns of mind can lead to escalation of emotions; Through this awareness and understanding this supports them to see more clearly what is present and make wiser choices in their daily life. The key objective of the course is to train participants in the fundamentals of mindfulness to incorporate ideas & practices into their daily life, giving them the skills to help support them manage life's ups and downs more effectively Course Details/set up The programme will run on Tuesday 6-8pm via zoom for 8 weeks. The sessions will mainly focused on experiential practices (Mindful meditation practices) and, will include cognitive therapy exercises. Each week there will be a handout with information and materials to back-up the practices and discussions which will be e-mailed after the zoom session. Importance of Home practice to support learning Mindfulness is best learnt through participants own practice and there will be suggested practices to carry out in between sessions. The practice options for each week will be included in the e-mail post zoom session. Practicing is very important since we are working to change patterns of the mind that have often been around for a long time. These patterns are frequently habitual and automatic. Putting in the time and commitment for regular practice can give a good chance of changing some of the long-established ways of mind. Prior to starting the course it can be helpful to think /carve out a time during your day when you may be able to carry out the formal practices in between the weekly sessions(15-30 mins daily )

Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is specifically designed to help people who have suffered from bouts of depression and to minimise further episodes of depression. The heart of MBCT is gentle, systematic training in Mindfulness .A definition of mindfulness is being able to bring direct, open hearted awareness to what you are doing , while you are doing it. Being able to tune in to what’s going on in your mind and body, and in the outside world, moment by moment. This skill is developed through formal and informal mindfulness practices during the course including , body scan , breath and body and sitting practices , alongside informal practices including mindful eating and walking. MBCT focusses on teaching participants to make a shift in their relationship to the thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations that contribute to depressive relapse and other emotional problems. This enables the participants to be released from the grip of two critical processes that lie in the root of depression and many other emotional problems: The tendency to overthink, ruminate, or worry too much about some things, coupled with a Tendency to avoid, suppress or push away other things. Regular mindfulness practice enables participants to see and understand how these patterns of mind can lead to escalation of emotions; Through this awareness and understanding this supports them to see more clearly what is present and make wiser choices in their daily life. The key objective of the course is to train participants in the fundamentals of mindfulness to incorporate ideas & practices into their daily life, giving them the skills to help support them manage life's ups and downs more effectively Course Details/set up The programme will run on Tuesday 6-8pm via zoom for 8 weeks. The sessions will mainly focused on experiential practices (Mindful meditation practices) and, will include cognitive therapy exercises. Each week there will be a handout with information and materials to back-up the practices and discussions which will be e-mailed after the zoom session. Importance of Home practice to support learning Mindfulness is best learnt through participants own practice and there will be suggested practices to carry out in between sessions. The practice options for each week will be included in the e-mail post zoom session. Practicing is very important since we are working to change patterns of the mind that have often been around for a long time. These patterns are frequently habitual and automatic. Putting in the time and commitment for regular practice can give a good chance of changing some of the long-established ways of mind. Prior to starting the course it can be helpful to think /carve out a time during your day when you may be able to carry out the formal practices in between the weekly sessions(15-30 mins daily )

"Based on a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) model, the aims of this course are to explore an understanding of anxiety via psycho-education, discussion, reflections and exercises. These activities will take place both in small groups and the larger group. The course is designed to encourage development of skills in coping, responding, and managing experiences of anxiety. This will take place through identifying triggers and situations that are likely to provoke anxiety, through identifying thoughts, moods, behaviours and body/physical sensations, and through considering alternative ways of interpreting and responding. The facilitator will make use of examples and scenarios to illustrate CBT principles and to invite participants to practice the above-mentioned skills. Participants are free to not participate in the exercises if they do not wish to do so. Group Facilitator Pedro Queiroz joined MIND in City, Hackney, and Waltham Forest in May 2018 as the High Intensity IAPT Therapist. Currently offering 1:1 therapy sessions and carrying out clinical assessments for the Psychological Therapies Team, Pedro supported and co-facilitated the Introduction to Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy course. In 2017, Pedro was awarded a Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling Psychology from the University of East London.

Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is specifically designed to help people who have suffered from bouts of depression and to minimise further episodes of depression. The heart of MBCT is gentle, systematic training in Mindfulness .A definition of mindfulness is being able to bring direct, open hearted awareness to what you are doing , while you are doing it. Being able to tune in to what’s going on in your mind and body, and in the outside world, moment by moment. This skill is developed through formal and informal mindfulness practices during the course including , body scan , breath and body and sitting practices , alongside informal practices including mindful eating and walking. MBCT focusses on teaching participants to make a shift in their relationship to the thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations that contribute to depressive relapse and other emotional problems. This enables the participants to be released from the grip of two critical processes that lie in the root of depression and many other emotional problems: The tendency to overthink, ruminate, or worry too much about some things, coupled with a Tendency to avoid, suppress or push away other things. Regular mindfulness practice enables participants to see and understand how these patterns of mind can lead to escalation of emotions; Through this awareness and understanding this supports them to see more clearly what is present and make wiser choices in their daily life. The key objective of the course is to train participants in the fundamentals of mindfulness to incorporate ideas & practices into their daily life, giving them the skills to help support them manage life's ups and downs more effectively Course Details/set up The programme will run on Tuesday 6-8pm via zoom for 8 weeks. The sessions will mainly focused on experiential practices (Mindful meditation practices) and, will include cognitive therapy exercises. Each week there will be a handout with information and materials to back-up the practices and discussions which will be e-mailed after the zoom session. Importance of Home practice to support learning Mindfulness is best learnt through participants own practice and there will be suggested practices to carry out in between sessions. The practice options for each week will be included in the e-mail post zoom session. Practicing is very important since we are working to change patterns of the mind that have often been around for a long time. These patterns are frequently habitual and automatic. Putting in the time and commitment for regular practice can give a good chance of changing some of the long-established ways of mind. Prior to starting the course it can be helpful to think /carve out a time during your day when you may be able to carry out the formal practices in between the weekly sessions(15-30 mins daily )

This will take place through identifying triggers and situations that are likely to provoke anxiety, through identifying thoughts, moods, behaviours and body/physical sensations, and through considering alternative ways of interpreting and responding. The facilitator will make use of examples and scenarios to illustrate CBT principles and to invite participants to practice the above-mentioned skills. Participants are free to not participate in the exercises if they do not wish to do so.
