Worldwide there is a growing interest in the benefits of mindfulness and mindfulness training. Mindfulness training is increasingly being used as an adjunct to a range of psychological and medical-based therapies. It may also have restorative and preventative health benefits. For example, mindfulness training and mindfulness techniques have been used to help people reduce, manage, and cope with:

  • Stress, anxiety and excessive worry.
  • Chronic pain and serious health problems.                              
  • Depression relapse.
  • Fibromyalgia and multiple sclerosis.
  • Psoriasis.


More generally, mindfulness training aims to:

  • Reduce suffering and increase happiness and acceptance.
  • Increase emotional awareness and clarity of mind.
  • Develop more effective coping with unpleasant experience.


Research is also begining to investigate the possible benefits of mindfulness training for:

  • Binge eating.
  • Chronic depression.
  • Poor sleep quality.
  • Child and adolescent mental health.
  • Severe menopausal hot flashes.
  • Mood management in bipolar disorder.
  • General health, quality of life and well-being.


This website was designed to provide useful information resources about mindfulness training and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) for the general public in Western Australia. It is hoped that this site may assist people to gain a greater understanding of some of the potential uses and benefits of mindfulness-based therapies. 

The information on this site has been sourced from some of the most recent and scientifically valid research literature. However, it should be noted that the scientific evidence base is continually growing and changing.

Importantly, when seeking help for mental or physical health problems it is recommended that you always first obtain professional advice from a qualified health practitioner in the relevant field.
