I routinely use meditation in my sessions to explore an individual’s inner landscape, to invite a state of calm and internal support, and to deepen presence in the therapy room. Meditation has ancient roots; however, it has recently become more popular in mainstream Western culture as a way to access mindfulness and creativity, to decompress and to become less stressed. Science is on our side, with empirical evidence supporting the incredible potency and endless benefits of meditation. By stilling the mind, letting our thoughts pass without engagement, and developing a deep mind-body connection, we experience potent rest and re-activation in unique ways, many of which are yet to be uncovered.

I am a tremendous advocate for meditation in its various forms; it is not one size fits all. My aim is to find the best fit for you. One approach is  Mindfulness Integrated Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (MiCBT) (Bruno A. Cayoun. Mindfulness-integrated CBT: Principles and practice. John Wiley & Sons, 2011).  MiCBT has been developed and trialled by scientists and psychologists and provides a roadmap to focus and fast-track changing the brain.
