The significant evidence base around mindfulness has shown it to be a highly effective (and NICE-recommended) method of relapse prevention in recurrent depression and as a successful intervention for a variety of anxiety disorders.

With practice, mindfulness can help us recognize how we become entangled in streams of worries, self-criticism and ruminative thinking, and slowly learn to break free from these patterns to improve our well-being.

Through psycho-education, group discussion and short mindfulness practices  you will gain a basic understanding of:

  • What mindfulness is and how it can be trained; 
  • How depression and anxiety develop and are maintained; Mindfulness practices to help accept yourself and face life’s difficulties with self-compassion instead of self-criticism; 

No prior mindfulness experience or knowledge required.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Understand the mechanisms of anxiety and depression
  2. Understand how mindfulness can help with anxiety and depression
  3. Practice a short self-compassion exercise
