Mindfulness-therapy group programs

At Presence Psychology, we recognise that physical and emotional health are interconnected.  

The Mindfulness for Health program is an  8-week program for health conditions, which involve chronic stress, chronic pain, chronic fatigue, and associated sleep and anxiety conditions.  Psycho-education is provided, to better understand the physiological and mental processes of the negative stress and pain/ fatigue cycle of presenting health conditions.  The programs also include specific trainings in evidence-based mind/body techniques.  These techniques are designed to help treat, or better manage your health condition/s; to improve the relationship with yourself and others, and quality of life. 

The Mindfulness for Health and Stress programs run at Presence Psychology are based on evidence-based programs developed by Breathworks in the UK (breathworks-mindfulness.org.uk), and on programs first proven to assist with medical conditions, such as that developed by Jon Kabat Zin, Ph.D.  

These programs are beneficial for those who are suffering from health conditions that adversely impact quality of life.  There are face-to-face and online options.
