Mindfulness-Based Therapy Counselling
(In-Person and Online Counselling for Adults, Seniors, and Late Teens)
When the Mind Won’t Slow Down
Do you ever feel like your mind never stops — replaying the past or worrying about the future?
You’re not alone. Many people live in constant “mental noise,” disconnected from the calm that exists underneath all the thoughts.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy helps you slow down, observe your thoughts and emotions with curiosity, and reconnect with the present moment.
It’s not about emptying your mind — it’s about learning to relate to your thoughts and feelings in a new way, so they no longer control you.
What is Mindfulness-Based Therapy?
Mindfulness-Based Therapy (MBT) is an evidence-based approach that integrates mindfulness practices with traditional counselling techniques.
It teaches you to develop awareness of your inner experiences — your thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations — without judgment or resistance.
By cultivating presence, you learn to:
Reduce anxiety and stress
Break free from overthinking and rumination
Improve emotional regulation
Respond to challenges calmly and consciously
Build deeper self-compassion and acceptance
Mindfulness isn’t just a technique — it’s a way of being that helps you return to balance, no matter what’s happening around you.
The Power of Awareness
When we’re caught in constant doing, the mind can feel scattered, tense, or overwhelmed.
Mindfulness helps shift from “doing mode” to “being mode” — a state of awareness where clarity and calm naturally arise.
As you learn to observe rather than react, your relationship with stress changes.
Thoughts become information, not threats.
Emotions become signals, not enemies.
In counselling, mindfulness helps create the space between stimulus and response — the place where freedom and choice live.
What Mindfulness-Based Therapy Can Help With
Mindfulness-Based Therapy is highly effective for:
Anxiety and panic
Stress and burnout
Depression and mood regulation
Sleep disturbances
Grief and emotional overwhelm
Chronic pain or body tension
Perfectionism and self-criticism
Trauma recovery and grounding
Whether you’re facing daily stress or deeper emotional patterns, mindfulness helps you reconnect with your inner calm and resilience.
How Mindfulness-Based Therapy Works
Mindfulness-Based Therapy combines present-moment awareness with emotional insight and self-compassion.
In sessions, we use mindfulness as both a tool and a lens — helping you experience your life rather than simply analyze it.
Together, we will:
Explore how stress and overthinking affect your body and emotions
Learn mindfulness and breathing techniques to ground and regulate the nervous system
Observe patterns of thought and behaviour with curiosity rather than judgment
Build emotional awareness and acceptance
Integrate mindfulness into your daily life — at work, at home, and in relationships
You’ll leave each session with both calm and clarity — along with simple tools to bring mindfulness into your everyday routine.
Why Mindfulness Works
From a psychological and neurological perspective, mindfulness helps regulate the amygdala, the brain’s fear center, and activates areas responsible for calm, focus, and emotional control.
Over time, regular mindfulness practice helps to:
Lower stress hormones like cortisol
Reduce anxiety and emotional reactivity
Strengthen focus and self-awareness
Improve sleep and emotional balance
Increase compassion toward self and others
You begin to feel less controlled by your emotions and more grounded in your response to life’s ups and downs.
A Holistic and Grounded Approach
At Pierre Begrand Counselling, I integrate Mindfulness-Based Therapy with modern counselling and somatic awareness techniques.
This approach blends mind, body, and emotion, creating a path toward both inner calm and outer action.
Sessions may include:
Guided mindfulness or breathing exercises
Visualization and grounding work
Journaling and reflection tools
Body-based awareness (somatic mindfulness)
Mindful goal-setting and emotional tracking
You don’t need to be “good” at meditation — you only need a willingness to pause, breathe, and notice what’s happening within you.
Who Mindfulness-Based Therapy Is For
This approach is for you if you:
Struggle with overthinking or emotional overwhelm
Feel disconnected from yourself or others
Want to improve focus, calm, and presence
Are navigating anxiety, grief, or life transitions
Want a practical, heart-centered approach to well-being
Mindfulness-Based Therapy meets you where you are — no pressure, no perfectionism — just gentle awareness and growth.
Why Work With Me
As a Registered Professional Counsellor, I combine evidence-based techniques with a grounded, human approach.
Before becoming a counsellor, I worked in trades and grew up on a farm — a life that demanded patience, resilience, and balance.
Now, I help clients cultivate those same qualities internally — using mindfulness to bring peace and stability back into everyday life.
My goal is to help you not just understand your mind, but befriend it — so you can live with more ease, clarity, and confidence.
Return to Presence. Reconnect With Yourself.
You don’t have to control your thoughts — you just have to stop letting them control you.
Through Mindfulness-Based Therapy, you can create the calm, focus, and resilience needed to navigate life with awareness and confidence.
