The Heart of The Work
My approach is grounded in the understanding that healing often emerges not from force or fixing, but from how our experience is met, understood, and held.
Core Process Psychotherapy
I am accredited in Core Process Psychotherapy (CPP), a mindfulness-based, psycho-spiritual approach that integrates Western psychology with contemplative understanding.
At the heart of this approach is the understanding that beneath our conditioning lies an inherent capacity for health, awareness, and compassion. Rather than trying to become someone different, therapy invites us to rediscover qualities that are already present, even if they have become obscured by life’s experiences.
Our work supports this unfolding through awareness of present-moment, embodied experience. Together we explore what is happening here and now, within an attuned therapeutic relationship that offers safety, curiosity, and compassionate attention.
In our sessions, we do more than simply talk about the past. We pay attention to how experience is being lived and held—in the body, in feeling, and in thought—as we sit together.
At times we may gently slow down and notice how experience is expressed through the body. Emotions, beliefs, and long-held patterns often reveal themselves through sensation as much as through thinking.
Our work unfolds through conversation, embodied awareness, and the therapeutic relationship itself. Because many of our wounds arise in relationship, an attentive and attuned therapeutic relationship can become a place where new understanding, healing, and greater freedom gradually emerge.
The pace of the work is thoughtful and collaborative. Rather than pushing towards solutions, we create the conditions for insight to unfold naturally. Over time, many people discover a different relationship with their thoughts, emotions, and inner world—one that is less driven by habit and more rooted in awareness and compassion.
Who This Is For
People come for many reasons, including anxiety, the effects of trauma, grief, significant life transitions, relationship difficulties, or a sense of disconnection. You don’t need to have a clear story or diagnosis; often it is enough to recognise that something in life is asking for attention.
I work with adults navigating:
Anxiety, overwhelm, or chronic stress
The effects of trauma or long-held patterns
Loss, grief, or significant life transitions
Relationship and attachment difficulties
Questions of meaning, identity, or direction
