This approach helps with issues such as anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, and life transitions by emphasising understanding and personal agency.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple, present-moment awareness skills that can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation. It is often useful for stress, sleep difficulties, rumination, and managing strong emotions.
