Two of our therapists at Circle Psychology Partners (2a Zenoria Street SE22 8HP) are offering their eight week mindfulness group (MBCT group) again this October. Please see details below:

 

We are happy to announce that we have launched our dedicated MBCT website: Mindful Gathering and are open to referrals for our online 8 week Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) group starting on Monday October 13th 2025 at 6pm.

Weekly sessions are held between 6pm – 8pm (please note that the first session will run from 6pm – 8.30pm). 

Please self refer with your expressions of interest and we will contact you for a brief consultation.

What is MBCT?

Many people find that worrying about the future or ruminating over past events can leave them feeling more anxious, stressed or low. Often this worry and rumination can feel very difficult to control, and may continue despite our best intentions to try to stop it.

MBCT can help us learn ways to reduce the impact of worry and rumination, which can increase our mental wellbeing. MBCT can help by strengthening our ability:

(1) to notice when we are caught up in unhelpful thoughts;

(2) practice letting these thoughts go by bringing our attention back to the present moment; and

(3) to relate to ourselves and our experience with greater gentleness and compassion.

 

In terms of the research evidence-base, there is evidence that MBCT, and related mindfulness-based interventions, can help people with depression, some kinds of anxiety, physical pain and some other conditions. MBCT is included in the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidelines as a recommended line of treatment for adults who experience recurrent depression: Recommendations | Depression in adults: treatment and management | Guidance | NICE

What will the sessions be like?

Each session will involve a range of meditation practices and cognitive therapy techniques. It is important to note that the approach is not about learning simple relaxation or becoming detached from painful experiences. It is being able to cultivate a gentle and compassionate curiosity to our moment-to-moment experiences. It is also about accepting things as they currently are and, in this way, increasing our level of choice. The approach works through practice, and people benefit the most if they commit to the daily practice at home.

How can I join?

We welcome referrals for participation in our upcoming 8 week online MBCT group starting on Monday October 13th 2025 at 6pm. Please self refer via Circle Psychology.

Thank you and we look forward to sharing our Mindfulness practice with you.

      So I've done a little more research into the current use of the word, I hadn't realised it had latterly been used to describe anti Muslim feelings. Still don't like the use of the word. These are horrible times and am fearful for the future.

      Oh I didn't realised Starmer had used the word. I don't mean they are stirring up division between themselves (ie between Reform and Greens), I mean they are stoking division within communities, and stirring up racial prejudice and religious discrimination. That is sectarianism, in my view.

      Just to repeat the news I was given – it's not being converted into a pub. As far as I know, there's no intention of dumbing down their restaurant offering.  Although as others have pointed out, Camberwell has two pubs – The Camberwell Arms and now the Michelin-starred Kerfield Arms – with excellent food. The Palmerston used to be the only pub in ED that was of such quality, but sadly no longer IMHO.

      The country is in a real state.  What worries me about the Greens is encouraging migration and openly offering benefits to all with visas.  Where is the money for that coming from?  As if there is spare money, as if there is growth. Where I their holistic manifesto, ensuring funds are available and this is sustainable, and regulated? Incredibly dangerous and idealistic
