Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy
Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)
MBCT is a therapy that focuses on the way you think. By noticing how one negative thought can lead to another negative thought. MBCT helps you to recognise the first negative thought to prevent a chain of negative thoughts occurring. This can help to reduce stress and cope more effectively with the stresses of daily life. NICE recommends MBCT to help people avoid repeated bouts of depression.
MBCT can also be effective in non-clinical conditions such as stress management or to improve quality of life.
