Teaching Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy
Tutor: Alexandra Cingi
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is an eight-week programme designed to help people who suffer repeated bouts of depression. It combines the ideas of cognitive therapy with meditative practices and attitudes based on the cultivation of mindfulness.
Experiments testing the efficacy of MBCT on depression demonstrated that relapse rates for the disorder decreased, and recent studies have shown the applicability of MBCT in treating a variety of issues besides depression – including anxiety, self-criticism, and ADHD – in clients from multiple age groups.
This 2-day course will equip you to run your own MBCT programmes.
IMPORTANT: in order to register for this course, you must have practised mindfulness regularly for at least six months, and have an understanding of its attitudes and benefits. If you are a beginner, you can register on our Gateway to Mindfulness course. This will, in time, give you access to the MBCT course.

This course is based on the book “Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Depression” by Segal, Teasdale and Williams.
You will not necessarily need the book in order to successfully complete the course, but it is definitely recommended that you acquire a copy if you intend to teach the programme, as it provides valuable additional information which will help you to plan and deliver your lessons.
