What is MOCP?

The Centre for Mindfulness has collaborated with Holistic Psychotherapy Centre to launch Mindfulness-Oriented Counselling and Psychotherapy (MOCP) Training Certification Course. We want to encourage and empower therapists to embrace mindfulness practices and approaches to create more self-presence and depth in their work with clients. Mindfulness helps psychotherapists and counsellors to cultivate self-compassion, relieve stress and burnout, increase in self and other acceptance, improved relationships and weather the often emotionally difficult work of providing therapy to clients.

“A presence oriented and self aware therapist is one of the best gifts any therapist can offer to their clients. We know that no tool, approach or theory can replace the therapeutic relationship we have with our client and this is the core of therapy. Mindfulness forms the foundation of that presence.” Dr Sunita Rai, Clinical & Counselling Psychologist and Certified Mindfulness Teacher (CMT-P), Founder of Holistic Psychotherapy Centre & Executive Director of Centre for Mindfulness
