Dr Adele Stewart MBBS FRACGP has been a GP for about 30 years in the Illawarra. Adele is registered to provide focussed psychological strategies. She is trained in Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapy under Dr Russ Harris, Internal Family Systems therapy at the IFS institute and Mindfulness integrated Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (MiCBT) under Bruno Cayoun. She did her first 10 day silent meditation retreat in 1987 and in the last 15 years or so has done yearly week long silent retreats and has been increasingly absorbed in yoga, qigong and mindfulness meditation practices. She offers a down to earth, engaging and compassionate attitude to teaching mindfulness. Adele is a certified MBSR teacher and runs courses on Saturday afternoons at her medical practice. She finds the MBSR courses as both a participant and teacher increase the meaning and richness of daily life as well as building a wonderful sense of connection.
