Anyone can benefit from learning mindfulness skills. Mindfulness is not new it has been helping people to overcome stress and worry for centuries, though more recently it has become recognised as a practical way to help individuals manage distressing psychological symptoms such as anxiety, fear, depression and worry.

Mindfulness and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is an acknowledged way of gaining control over those negative emotions and thoughts that just seem overwhelming at times and difficult to let go of. Mindfulness was introduced and developed by John Kabat-Zinn in order to help people manage stress as well as health problems. It has been used effectively to help manage depression (and relapse).
