We also offer Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) courses, which are recommended in NHS guidelines for the treatment of recurrent depression, in York and Hull.

Our MBSR and MBCT personal courses remain at the heart of what we do, but the wide range of services we provide beyond this is constantly evolving. Our work is currently focused in four main areas: Mindful Living (courses for individuals from complete beginners to those with an established meditation practice); Mindfulness in Healthcare; Mindfulness in Schools and Mindfulness in the Workplace.
