Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Mindfulness-Based Therapy refers to a group of therapeutic approaches that teach individuals to focus on the present moment with openness and without judgment. Rooted in meditation practices and influenced by Buddhist traditions, these therapies have been adapted into modern psychology to help people manage a range of mental health concerns.

How This Therapy Works

Therapy sessions involve open dialogue, where clients are encouraged to freely explore thoughts, feelings, memories, and dreams. Key techniques include exploring recurring patterns, examining the impact of early relationships, and working with transference-the redirection of feelings from significant past figures onto the therapist.

The therapeutic relationship itself is central, providing a safe space for clients to understand and change longstanding interpersonal dynamics. Sessions can be short-term or long-term, tailored to individual needs.

Is It Right for Me?

Mindfulness-based therapy is suitable for individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, or chronic pain, as well as those seeking to improve emotional regulation and overall well-being.

It works well for people open to meditation and self-reflection, and who want practical tools to manage difficult emotions. If you’re unsure, a therapist can help you decide if this approach fits your needs.
