Learn to relax with a mindfulness stress reduction course

Become more aware of your thoughts, feelings and emotions when you take a mindfulness based stress reduction class with Highbrook.

Our supportive experts will show you ways to boost your mental wellbeing using evidence-based mindfulness stress reduction training.

Mindfulness has been found to:

  • reduce stress and anxiety
  • improve your physical health
  • boost your overall wellbeing
  • help treat mental health conditions
  • reduce your incidence of certain stress-related diseases

Furthermore, mindfulness can help you to accept your experiences, particularly painful feelings and memories. If you use other types of psychotherapy, such as cognitive behavioural therapy, this can work successfully in conjunction with our mindfulness stress reduction course.

Frequently asked questions

When can you benefit from mindfulness stress reduction training?

Life can feel very busy and stressful.

When you are rushing around trying to complete all your tasks, stress and worry can feel overwhelming. You can become disconnected from your positive feelings like joy, happiness and fun.

Even when you’re doing something that should feel fun, it can be tough to switch off your brain and appreciate the moment.

That’s where mindfulness based stress reduction training can help. You can learn the principles of mindfulness, which you can then apply every day to support your overall wellbeing.

Frequently asked questions

To join our clinic, you first need to fill out the patient enrolment forms to register with the PHO that we belong to. This is a Ministry of Health requirement. You will need to provide proof of identity and eligibility which may include the following forms of identification:

  • NZ Passport or NZ birth certificate
  • International passport with resident visa OR work visa of minimum 24-month duration

On the enrolment form you need to indicate which of our doctors (currently taking new patients) that you would like to be registered with.

Yes. As part of completing your enrolment, we request that you have a free new patient screening appointment with one of our Nursing or Medical Centre Assistant team members. This new patient appointment enables our team to work with you to better understand your current health and wellbeing. Following the new patient appointment as above, you can book your first consultation with your nominated doctor.

All GP appointments are 15 minutes long.

  • One appointment is for a single health issue.
  • Should you wish to have a 30-minute GP appointment, it will be charge at a non-subsidized rate.
  • Depending on your age and health, one of our specialist nursing or pharmacist clinicians may be able to spend more time with you.

If you are a new patient, you will get full access to the patient portal “My Indici” once you have completed your enrolment.

Payment is required at time of consultation. Please note that unpaid accounts will incur an additional $10 monthly administration cost.

There may be additional costs for treatments/tests/materials

We recommend that you book your future appointments via your patient portal My Indici.

If you need an urgent appointment, then please phone the clinic. We have doctors available to discuss your urgent health needs on the day.

All consultations are by appointment only.

Patient portals are secure online sites where patients can access their health information and interact with their general practice. Set up access to your patient portal at or email Info@highbrookmedical.co.nz if you would like help.

We recommend that you plan ahead and request your repeat medicines via your patient portal My Indici two weeks before you run out. If you do not have access to a portal, you can phone us and leave a message with the nurse to organise this. Our doctors use an electronic prescribing system which can send your prescription to your local pharmacy (please specify name and location).
