Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (Private sessions)
Details
Depression is a severe and prolonged state of mind in which normal sadness grows into a painful state of hopelessness, listlessness, lack of motivation and fatigue. It can vary from mild to severe. When depression is mild, you find yourself brooding on your
own negative aspects or those of others. You may feel resentful, irritable or angry much of the time, feeling sorry for yourself, and feeling that you need reassurance from someone. You may suffer various physical complaints that do not seem to be caused by
any physical illness.
You find your energy for activities that you used to enjoy, has hit ‘rock bottom’. you can’t sleep, or you sleep too much, you can’t eat, or you eat too much.
You may even feel that life is not worth living and begin to get thoughts that you’d be better off dead.
Length: Minimum 8 sessions
Intensity: 2 hours per week
Ideal for: Those who have suffered from recurrent depression & those have been advised to remain on antidepressant medication for rest of their life , MBCT can be an alternative treatment.

How do I know? Because I’ve been there.
I know how it feels to struggle with moments of overwhelming anxiety and stress and not knowing how to handle my emotions. It was only until I left my 14-year professional career and embarked on a journey of self-discovery that I really got to the core of my struggles. It was on that journey, I found Mindfulness. The tools and techniques I learnt were transformative and not only helped me find my way but also helped me find myself. I became more self-aware, understood my emotional triggers and learnt how to process my thoughts in a much kinder, non-judgmental way.
Life can be a constant rollercoaster ride of ups, downs and crazy loops. But it’s how we react and respond to these unexpected twists and turns that’s really important.
At Mindfulness UAE, our goal is to equip you with simple, yet powerful mindfulness practices and techniques so you can manage any overwhelming moments of anxiety, stress, pain or depression with greater understanding and self-compassion.
We know a happier, more vibrant version of yourself is just bursting to get out, and we’re ready to help you unleash it.
Our Mission is to inspire and support others to live a life guided by purpose, presence and positivity.
Our Vision is to create a ‘Mindfulness Movement’ and a consciously aware community within the UAE.
