Mindfulness

Mindfulness is a term which is used to describe various ways we can settle our nerves and anxieties, and become more fully present in our lives. In helping us to become aware of thoughts and emotions, we can deal with stress, and gradually improve our wellbeing.

According to the NHS Mindfulness-based therapies are recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) as a way to treat less severe depression. NICE also recommends that employers make mindfulness available to all employees, to support mental wellbeing at work.
