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.

Students, researchers, families, freelancers and people who came for a new start all live in Berlin, and they come to MBCT with very different questions. It is often taught as an eight-week course, in a group or one to one, with guided practice at home.

You can look for a therapist who works in English, German, Russian or Ukrainian; each profile lists the languages spoken. Private health insurance and some expat policies reimburse part of private sessions, depending on the therapist’s qualification, so it is worth checking your contract before you start. On each profile you can check the approach, the languages, the session format and the fee before you book.

FAQ — Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) in Berlin

What is Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)?

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is a therapeutic approach used to help people understand their difficulties, build practical tools, and move toward more stable wellbeing.

Your therapist will adapt the pace and focus of sessions to your needs, goals, and current situation.

What can Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy help with?

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy can be used for a range of emotional, relational, behavioral, or stress-related concerns depending on the therapist’s training.

The therapy page also shows which therapists on MIT currently offer this approach.

What happens in a first mindfulness-based cognitive therapy session?

A first session usually focuses on understanding what brings you to therapy, what you want to change, and whether the therapist’s style feels like a good fit.

You do not need to prepare anything perfect in advance. It is normal to start with questions, uncertainty, or mixed feelings.

How many sessions of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy do people usually need?

This depends on your goals, the complexity of what you are dealing with, and how structured the approach is. Some people use this therapy for short-term focused work, while others stay longer for deeper change.

Is Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy available online?

Availability depends on the therapist. On MIT, you can check the therapist cards and profile pages to see whether online sessions are offered.

How much does Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy usually cost?

Fees vary by therapist. When no live therapist prices are available yet, the usual range for this therapy is around €80+ per session.

How do I choose the right mindfulness-based cognitive therapy therapist on MIT?

Start by reading the therapist’s profile, experience, languages, online/in-person availability, and approach. Then check whether the person works with the kind of issue you want help with.

A good fit is often about both expertise and how safe, understood, and comfortable you feel with the therapist.

Can I message a therapist before booking?

Yes. MIT profiles can include direct messaging, and therapists can also activate online booking when available.

This helps patients ask practical questions before committing to a first session.

What if I am not sure Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy is the right fit for me?

That is very common. You can start by contacting a therapist, explaining what you are struggling with, and asking whether this approach fits your goals.

MIT currently lists 2 therapists for this therapy, so you can compare different profiles before deciding.

Can I see a therapist in person in Berlin, or only online?

Both are possible, depending on the therapist. Some therapists on My International Therapy receive clients in person in Berlin, others work online by secure video, and many offer both. Each profile shows the formats offered. Online sessions are also a way to keep the same therapist if you move or travel.

Can I have therapy in Berlin in English or in my own language?

Yes. Many therapists in the network work in English, and others in German, Russian, Ukrainian and further languages. You can browse English-speaking, German-speaking, Russian-speaking and Ukrainian-speaking therapists in Berlin, and every profile lists the languages spoken.

Does German health insurance pay for therapy?

Statutory health insurance (gesetzliche Krankenversicherung) covers psychotherapy with licensed psychotherapists who have a contract with the insurance funds, but waiting times of several months are common. Many international residents therefore start with a private therapist and pay directly. Private health insurance and some supplementary or expat policies reimburse part of the sessions, depending on the therapist’s qualification: check your contract. Therapists provide invoices you can submit to your insurer.

How much does a therapy session cost in Berlin?

Each therapist sets their own fee, which is shown on their profile. As a guide, most individual approaches on this site are listed between €80 and €180 per session, couples and family therapy between €120 and €220, and coaching, career counselling or parenting support between €70 and €130. Sessions usually last 50 to 60 minutes.

What should I do in an emergency in Berlin?

Therapy is not an emergency service. If you or someone close to you is in danger, call 112. The Telefonseelsorge offers free, anonymous support 24/7 on 0800 111 0 111 or 0800 111 0 222.

How do I choose the right therapist in Berlin?

The relationship with your therapist matters as much as the method. Compare profiles for the approach used, the topics they work with, the languages, the format and the fee. If you are unsure where to start, describe what you are going through and we will suggest therapists who suit your needs. The first session is also a chance to see whether the fit feels right.
