What is Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy?

Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy blends mindful awareness with therapeutic tools to change how you relate to your thoughts. Mindfulness means paying attention with openness, curiosity, and non-judgment; Cognitive Therapy provides structured tools to observe, question, and shift unhelpful thought patterns. Together, the approach helps you move out of cycles of worry, rumination, or being trapped in past regrets and future fears, so you can live more fully in the present.

How Mindfulness-based Therapy Can Help
[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”_initial” text_font=”Roboto||||||||” text_line_height=”1.6em” custom_padding=”||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]
Many people find this approach especially meaningful when they are dealing with:
-
Stress, anxiety, or constant worrying
-
Intense emotions like sadness, anger, or guilt
-
Negative self-talk or ruminating thoughts
-
Difficulty being present because thoughts keep pulling their attention away
-
Situations where you want to shift how you respond rather than simply avoid or eliminate thoughts or feelings
By cultivating mindfulness you learn to let go of unhelpful thoughts, to pause instead of reacting on autopilot, and to choose responses that align with your values. Over time, this can reduce suffering and increase peace, clarity, and resilience.

My Approach

I believe mindfulness isn’t about perfection — it is about practice, patience, and learning to meet yourself where you are. I create a supportive, compassionate space where you can explore what is hard, notice what is happening in your mind, and gradually shift toward choices that feel more life-giving. Depending on your goals, we may focus more on anxiety, depression, emotional overwhelm, or simply cultivating presence and clarity in everyday moments.

What to Expect in Sessions
[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”_initial” text_font=”Roboto||||||||” text_line_height=”1.6em” global_colors_info=”{}”]
In our work together, I will guide you through practices that help you:
-
Notice thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them
-
Develop curiosity about how your mind works — noticing patterns, habitual thoughts, triggers
-
Bring awareness back to the present moment (through breathing, simple grounding, sensory exercises)
-
Practice cognitive tools to challenge or reframe thoughts, with kindness and gentleness
-
Build new ways of responding — not by suppressing thoughts, but creating space so you can act in a way that aligns with what matters to you
You will also be given simple mindfulness practices to try between sessions, so that you can gradually build the “mindfulness muscle” in daily life.
