Dr Bruno Cayoun is a Clinical Psychologist in private practice at the Psychology Centre in Hobart, Tasmania an international speaker and teacher of MiCBT, and a consultant and clinical supervisor in mindfulness research worldwide.

His prior research at the University of Tasmania investigated the effects of attentional and inhibitory functions on behaviour (two essential mechanisms in mindfulness practice) in children with ADHD.

During the last 19 years, he has practised mindfulness meditation and undergone intensive training in mindfulness centres in France, Nepal, India, and Australia.

Over the last 7 years, Bruno has developed a therapy model that integrates mindfulness training with the principles of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, which is known as Mindfulness-integrated Cognitive Behaviour Therapy or MiCBT. This integrative approach is used as a crisis intervention and relapse prevention method which is demonstrating advantages over traditional cognitive perspectives across a range of acute and chronic conditions.

Bruno provides continual training in MiCBT to various services and professional associations in Australia and overseas. His mindfulness training CDs are used worldwide and he is the author of a Mindfulness-integrated CBT skills-training manual for professionals and students. Bruno is also the developer of two questionnaires, the Short Progress Assessment and the Mindfulness-based Self Efficacy Scale, now translated in Portuguese and Dutch.
