The 8 week course of 2 hour sessions is for anyone who is experiencing depression and wishes to enhance their general wellbeing through a greater awareness of automatic patterns of thinking.

Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy for Life (MBCT-L)
An 8 session programme that offers the possibility of flourishing and growth as well as working with distress and difficulty. It is an adaptation of Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCTD) which we also offer. MBCTD is designed more specifically to prevent depressive relapse and/or manage mild-to-moderate anxiety.
MBCTL is for anyone looking to change the way they relate to their life through a combination of mindfulness practices and cognitive-behavioural techniques. The programme serves as a guide in the application of key learning to everyday life - It's not just mindfulness for difficulties but 'mindfulness for life'

Deeper Mindfulness: Exploring feeling tone frame by frame - 8 Week Course
This is a new eight-week course of two hour weekly sessions is developed by Mark Williams and colleagues, designed for those who have already completed a mindfulness-based programme and want to explore mindfulness more deeply.
It is informed by recent psychological findings revealing that our understanding of the world is dominated by imagining how we can take action within it, coloured by what is called 'feeling tone'; the sense of how pleasant or unpleasant each moment is for us. Greater awareness of the 'feeling tone' of each moment can support us in getting the most out of our experiences.
During the eight weekly sessions, you will learn meditations that prepare you for, then help you tune in to feeling tone, frame by frame. This provides an opportunity to see more clearly both the tipping points for distress and exhaustion, and also how to flourish by freeing yourself to appreciate life again, even in the midst of difficulty.
- Thursday 9 October 2025, 10am to 12pm - MS Teams (Concludes 27 November 2025)
