Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) combines mindfulness practice with tools from cognitive therapy. It was developed for people who have experienced repeated episodes of depression, to help them notice early warning signs and step out of rumination.

MBCT is often taught as an eight-week programme, in a group or one to one. Sessions include guided meditation, body awareness and exercises that show how thoughts, moods and body sensations interact. Daily practice at home is part of the approach.

It is also used for anxiety and stress. A therapist can tell you whether a programme or individual sessions suit your situation better.

The Côte d’Azur attracts people from all over the world, and many international residents of Nice look for MBCT in English or their own language. It is often taught as an eight-week course, in a group or one to one, with guided practice at home.

Online sessions by secure video help if you live elsewhere on the Côte d’Azur, commute to Monaco or spend part of the year away. Psychiatrists’ consultations are covered by the Assurance Maladie within the coordinated care pathway, while most other private sessions are paid directly and may be partly refunded by your mutuelle. The first session is a good moment to talk about your expectations and see whether MBCT suits you.
