Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

At Sentience Counselling Services, we embrace mindfulness, a practice rooted in ancient Buddhist traditions, as a transformative way of life that fosters a heightened state of awareness and presence. Mindfulness encourages a non-judgmental awareness of the mind and body, helping individuals to remain grounded in the present moment. Research validates mindfulness as an effective strategy for emotion-regulation, enhancing metacognition, reducing rumination, improving working memory, alleviating stress, and increasing cognitive flexibility.

If mindfulness-based therapy resonates with your needs, we invite you to contact Sentience Counselling Services today for a free consultation. Our dedicated professionals are ready to discuss how we can support your journey towards improved mental well-being and resilience.

What Is Mindfulness Based Therapy?

At Sentience Counselling Services, we are proud to offer mindfulness-based therapy, a transformative practice that has its roots in ancient Buddhist traditions. This approach encourages a state of active, conscious awareness of the mind and body, helping individuals to fully engage with the present moment without judgment.

Research has consistently shown that mindfulness is an invaluable tool in emotion-regulation. It enhances metacognition, reduces rumination, improves focus and attention, boosts working memory, decreases stress, and increases cognitive flexibility. These benefits make mindfulness an effective strategy for managing a range of mental health issues.

Our mindfulness-based therapy is particularly beneficial for those who experience recurring depression, chronic unhappiness, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, and ADHD. It has also shown to be helpful for various other mental health challenges. In fact, recent studies have indicated that individuals who have had three or more episodes of clinical depression can significantly reduce their risk of relapse by incorporating mindfulness-based skills into their routine.

Mindfulness-based therapy is suitable for anyone, regardless of their specific challenges, who is looking to cultivate a deeper sense of awareness and control over their mental state. If you or someone you know is interested in exploring how mindfulness-based therapy can support your journey to improved mental health, please do not hesitate to contact us at Sentience Counselling Services today for a free consultation. Our team is dedicated to helping you navigate your path to wellbeing.

Land Acknowledgment: Recognizing and Honoring Treaty 7 and Metis Nation in Southern Alberta

Sentience Counselling Services, located in the heart of Southern Alberta, both acknowledges and pays tribute to the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). The City of Calgary is also home to the Metis Nation of Alberta (Districts 5 and 6).

How it Works

Mindfulness practice has been scientifically proven to be an effective strategy for emotion-regulation. It enhances metacognition, enabling individuals to reflect on their thought processes. It also reduces rumination, improves focus and attention, boosts working memory, and increases cognitive flexibility. These benefits contribute to a significant reduction in overall stress levels.

Our mindfulness-based therapy is particularly beneficial for individuals who have experienced repeated bouts of depression or chronic unhappiness. It is also effective in treating anxiety, emotional dysregulation, ADHD, and a variety of other mental health issues. Recent research has shown that for individuals who have faced clinical depression three or more times in their lives, acquiring mindfulness-based skills can drastically reduce the chances of depression returning.
