Individual Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy for Depression
You can prevent further relapses of depression with Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy
Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy for Depression (MBCT) Was developed to help people who have experienced chronic depression.
Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) for Depression is an integration of Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). It was developed for patients who had had three or more episodes of depression and teaches techniques to enable participants to disengage from habitual ‘automatic’ depressive ways of thinking.
It is an eight session usually one session per week programme that is very prescriptive. Every session is planed out with set aims, goals and homework
Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) was developed to help people who have experienced depressive episodes. In 2017 Mindfulness and meditation for Depression and Anxiety is becoming evermore popular due to politicians, film stars, celebrities like Ruby Wax, Goldie Hawn and of course scientific evidence. Many people are confusing the many forms of meditation or even general Mindfulness practiced by Buddhists with Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction, Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy for Depression and other Mindfulness-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapies (specifically developed therapies with all religious and spiritual beliefs removed).
It’s a six to eight session (usually one session a week) course.
It teaches us how to exit and stay out of negative thinking routines. ‘Letting go mindfully’ means freeing yourself from the constant striving of avoiding unhappiness and/or achieving happiness. Allowing us to move towards Freedom.
Practicing the taught strategies regularly may bring you:
- Increased experience of calm and relaxation
- Higher levels of energy and enthusiasm for living
- Increased self-confidence and self-acceptance
- An improved ability to handle short and long term stressful situations
What is Mindfulness-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?
Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) has been developed with the aim of reducing relapse, for those who are vulnerable to episodes of depression. This empowering way of working has also gained empirical validation. It is needed because the risk of relapse and recurrence in those who have been depressed is very high, and the amount of triggering required for each subsequent episode becomes lower each time depression recurs.
The core skill to be learned is how to exit and stay out of negative thinking routines.
People who implement some of the taught strategies regularly may find lasting physical and psychological benefits such as:- increased experience of calm and relaxation,. higher levels of energy and enthusiasm for living, increased self-confidence and self-acceptance and an improved ability to handle short and long term stressful situations.
Strategies used in MBCT
- Meditation eg body scan, breathing meditation, walking meditation.
- Mindfulness-living in the present moment.
- Thinking about thinking.
- Taking off your automatic pilot mode.

Abigail, Depression Therapy
Adrian was recommended by my friend and my friends Mother who have both been clients of Adrian’s in the past. I had been suffering with depression for quite a few years and have tried numerous different methods to try and solve the depression but nothing had particularly worked for a long period of time. As… soon as I called Adrian, he immediately wanted to help and showed his genuine interest in wanting to help and find out what would work for me specifically. Adrian always, always took his time, never allowing us to be within a short space of time and giving his full attention to what we were doing, whether it was talking or practising “Mindfullness Techniques” which I think (for me) was and still is an integral part of feeling positive. After having sessions with Adrain, I have been able to remain within a positive state, having a better outlook on life and having more confidence and self belief. I’d strongly recommend Adrian to anyone who wants to work with someone who genuinely wants to help people to overcome their problems and live life in a positive way * Read more “Abigail, Depression Therapy”
Nicholas, Anxiety, Depression
“I went to see Adrian for help with issues relation to anxiety and depression following a recommendation from a close friend. I had both CBT and Hypnotherapy treatments during our meetings. I found Adrian to be extremely understanding, sympathetic and professional throughout. I would recommend his services to anyone and everyone!” (Five Stars)
Elizabeth, Anxiety Depression
“While suffering from anxiety, depression and lack of confidence after job loss and relationship difficulties, I researched various therapies; having read an article in a peer-reviewed journal that showed changes in people undertaking mindfulness training, I decided on mindfulness combined with hypnotherapy as the combination of approaches I felt would be most effective and appropriate… for me. A web search of therapists showed that Adrian provides this combination. I have found the combination of therapies to be very effective for me, and Adrian’s generous spirit, kindness, non-judgemental attitude and highly ethical approach as a therapist enormously supportive. This good therapist-client relationship helped me also to feel confident in being open about undergoing therapy; I have recommended Wellbeing to colleagues, friends and family.” (Five Stars) Read more “Elizabeth, Anxiety Depression”
Roslyn M
I was looking forward to my 6 sessions with Adrian and each time I went I was feeling better each time I could see changes in my thoughts and how I behaved. I felt the changes. I lacked confidence and was negative but am learning to focus which is helping my private life and work… life. I shall be continuing to be mindful in everything I do as I enjoyed giving myself me time and made me realise I deserve it! I recommend Adrian and his work. * Read more “Roslyn M”
