Mindfulness-based therapy

It is easy to spend a day caught in what happened earlier or what might happen next. Mindfulness is a way to notice where your attention has gone and return to what is happening now, with a little more room to choose your response.

In therapy, that might mean paying attention to breath, sensations, emotions, or thoughts without immediately trying to change them. Your therapist may use short practices alongside conversation and other methods. We will talk about what is useful for you; sitting still with your eyes closed is not a requirement.

Mindfulness does not make difficult feelings disappear. It can help you recognize them earlier and relate to them with less automatic struggle. This may be useful when stress, anxiety, or self-criticism pull you into familiar loops.
