Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy

While MBCT is primarily developed to prevent the recurrence of depression, it has shown effectiveness in managing various mental health conditions, including anxiety, stress, and mood disorders.

MBCT sessions typically last around 60 to 90 minutes, but the duration can vary. Allowing enough time for mindfulness exercises, cognitive interventions, and group discussions is essential.

MBCT is often conducted in a group setting, fostering a sense of community and shared experience. However, it can also be adapted for individual therapy, depending on the preferences and needs of the client.

While MBCT has shown efficacy for many individuals, its suitability may vary. It is commonly recommended for those with a history of recurrent depression, but practitioners assess each individual's needs to determine appropriateness.
