Both Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Depression (MBCT-D) and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Life (MBCT-L) courses are 8 weeks in length.

Each weekly session, on average lasts two and a half hours online in the evening, incorporating a balance of psycho-education mindful awareness practices, mindful, walking, movement and meditation.

There is an additional half-day (four hours) of guided silent practice meditation conducted online usually between sessions 6 & 7.

And on completion of the course you are invited to the online weekly meditation group, as a space to support and enhance your ongoing meditation practice.

Any international applicant can apply, however the courses are conducted in the evenings as of the London GMT timezone.

Either course requires full commitment to all sessions and between-session work of daily home practice of the provided mindfulness meditations is required.
