What is it?

Mindfulness is paying attention to what is happening now, on purpose and without immediately judging it. In a clinical context it is neither a class nor a philosophy: it is training used inside therapy, to recognise earlier what is happening and respond rather than react.

Who it is for

Anxiety, stress, rumination and insomnia, with particular evidence in preventing relapse in depression. It helps people who recognise that they spend the day at some distance from their own life, replaying conversations that already happened or rehearsing others that may never happen.

What a session looks like

The practice is short and guided, and always tied to what brings you: it is not practised for its own sake. Between sessions there are exercises of a few minutes, designed to fit a real day, and what went badly in practice is as useful to work with as what went well. Online therapy in English, by video call, with an English-speaking therapist: for people in Portugal and for expats, wherever you live in Europe.

faq

No. The practices originate in contemplative traditions, but what is used here was separated from that context and studied as a clinical intervention. There is no belief to adopt, and nothing proposed conflicts with what you already believe.

Nobody can, and that is not what is asked. Your mind will wander, repeatedly, and noticing that and coming back is precisely the exercise. People who say they cannot do it are usually describing the practice correctly and reading it as failure.

No. It starts with a few minutes, and regularity counts for more than length. A plan demanding half an hour a day is a plan that someone with a job and children abandons in the second week, and an abandoned plan treats nothing.

No. You can book directly on our website or with Sofia, our virtual assistant, without any referral from your GP.
