The Centre for Counselling and Psychotherapy Training

Overview

In various forms, mindfulness has been around for more than two thousand years.

Whilst the practice suffers many misconceptions, chief amongst them being that it’s just another word for meditation, mindfulness as a practice has been experiencing a boom in popularity for some time.

To live a mindful life, practitioners learn to inhabit the moment. This reduces stress and encourages an increased sense of self-awareness, so that problems can be challenged and worked through in a calm way.

This foundation course will introduce you to the techniques and core principles of mindfulness. You will learn mindfulness techniques, strategies and routines that can be applied to a variety of contexts for self-development or to share with others.
