Service Description
Craig Pereira is a Psychotherapist and Wellbeing consultant. He has trained under Zindel Siegel, founder of Mindfulness- Based Cognitive therapy in Canada and is listed under Oxford University’s, Oxford Mindfulness as a globally trained MBCT therapist. Mindfulness is a non-judgmental way of paying attention to the present moment. Cognitive Behaviour Therapy is designed to bring awareness to the habitual negative thinking that leads to depressive and anxious spirals. Combined, MBCT interrupts how we habitually react to situations, so we can choose to respond in more skillful ways. What to Expect MBCT is normally conducted within a group setting, and the weekly sessions are led by a therapist. In about eight meetings, you will learn meditation techniques as well as basic principles of cognition, such as the relationship between the way you think and how you feel. On the days when there is no session, there is homework, which includes practicing breathing exercises and mindful meditation. You will also be encouraged to bring this present-moment awareness into your everyday routines, when you prepare a meal, as you eat, while you shower, or when you are walking. A commitment to attend all 8 sessions and home practice activities is required. Who Should Attend Individuals experiencing moderate anxiety or depression and people with a history of depression. Participants Will Learn Skills and practices to manage depression, anxiety and prevent relapse. By learning to identify the triggers and symptoms of anxiety and depression, participants can effectively address these issues as they arise in everyday life. Research has demonstrated MBCT is as effective as antidepressants in the prevention of depressive relapse or recurrence. (Kuyken, 2008)
