Do you ever feel like your mind is stuck in a loop?

Whether it’s replaying past situations, decisions or conversations (rumination) or thinking about something bad that might happen in the future (worry), repetitive negative thoughts are exhausting to live with.

We’ve designed a new, brief treatment program to help you hit the "pause" button on unhelpful thinking.

Our Worry and Rumination Program is based on proven Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-based CBT techniques.

Mornings can feel especially heavy when you’re dealing with anxiety or depression. Racing thoughts or dread first thing in the morning can make getting out of bed feel like a huge effort.

Small changes to your morning routine can help ease that intensity and set your day off onto a better track.
