Mindfulness
Mindfulness Therapy in Cairns & Online Australia-Wide
Mindfulness therapy is a powerful evidence-based method for reducing stress, calming the mind and improving mental health. At Cairns Beaches Psychology, our registered psychologists in Cairns integrate mindfulness with therapies such as CBT, ACT and EMDR to help clients overcome anxiety, depression, sleep problems and trauma. Sessions are available both in person at our Cairns Beaches clinic and through secure online therapy across Australia.
Reduce Stress & Anxiety
Mindfulness encourages relaxation and acceptance. It is highly effective in calming worry, reducing panic symptoms and supporting recovery from anxiety disorders.
Emotional Regulation
By increasing awareness of thoughts and feelings, mindfulness helps regulate emotions, reduce reactivity and build resilience to depression and stress.
Boost Focus & Sleep
Mindfulness training improves concentration and mental clarity while also supporting healthy rest. See more on sleep disorders & narcolepsy.
Mindfulness in Modern Psychology
Our psychologists often combine mindfulness with structured therapies. For example:
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) uses mindfulness to notice and change unhelpful thought patterns.
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) builds mindfulness skills to help clients accept emotions while living by their values.
- EMDR therapy may incorporate mindful grounding to manage trauma memories.
Evidence-Based Benefits
Clinical research shows that mindfulness-based interventions such as MBSR (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction) and MBCT (Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy) are highly effective in reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression and PTSD. They can improve immune function, reduce inflammation, and support physical health as well as mental wellbeing.
Accessible & Flexible Therapy
At Cairns Beaches Psychology, we recognise that every client has unique needs. That’s why we provide mindfulness therapy both in-person in Cairns and via secure telehealth. Online sessions are convenient and just as effective as clinic-based therapy — making support accessible to clients across regional Queensland and throughout Australia.
