Home / Services / Mindfulness-Based Counselling
When your mind is always racing ahead or replaying the past, it is hard to feel calm. Mindfulness-based counselling teaches practical skills to notice your thoughts and feelings without getting swept away, so you can respond to life with more steadiness.

Quick answer
Mindfulness-based counselling combines mindfulness practice, paying attention to the present moment with curiosity and without judgment, with evidence-based therapy approaches such as CBT. It draws on programs like mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), which have research support for reducing stress and preventing depression relapse.
Mindfulness is a skill, not a mood. Sessions teach short, practical exercises you can fit into a busy life, adapted to your culture and beliefs.
Is this right for you?
Mindfulness-based counselling is especially useful if your mind rarely gets a break.
Worry, overthinking or replaying conversations that are hard to switch off.
Rushing through days without noticing how you feel until you are exhausted.
Tension, headaches, shallow breathing or trouble relaxing.
Periods of depression that keep coming back.
A constant inner critic that adds to stress and anxiety.
Lying awake with a busy mind at night.
Start with a free 15-minute consultation to ask questions and see if we are the right fit. No referral is needed.
How we help
Sessions combine conversation, guided practice and simple exercises to try between sessions. You set the pace.
Sessions are usually 50 to 60 minutes, in person at our South Edmonton office or online by secure video anywhere in Alberta.
Breath, body scan and short everyday practices that build your ability to notice thoughts and sensations and come back to the present.
Learn to see thoughts as mental events rather than facts, which reduces the pull of worry and rumination.
Replace harsh self-criticism with a kinder, steadier inner voice, which supports lasting change.
