The Heart of The Work
Core Process Psychotherapy
I am accredited in Core Process Psychotherapy (CPP), a mindfulness-based, psycho-spiritual approach grounded in Buddhist psychology and contemplative practice.
At the heart of this approach is the understanding that beneath our conditioning lies an inherent capacity for health, awareness, and compassion. Therapy can help us reconnect with qualities that may have become obscured through life experience, but have not been lost.
Our work is grounded in awareness of present-moment, embodied experience. Rather than only talking about the past, we pay attention to how experience is being lived now—in the body, in feeling, and in thought.
At times, we may slow down and notice how emotions, beliefs, and long-held patterns are expressed through sensation as much as through thinking. This can help us understand not only what has happened, but how it continues to shape our experience in the present.
The therapeutic relationship is central to this work. Because many of our wounds arise in relationship, an attentive and attuned relationship can become a place where new understanding, healing, and greater freedom can emerge.
The pace is thoughtful and collaborative. Rather than pushing towards solutions, we create space for insight to develop in its own time.
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.
Who This Is For
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties, significant life transitions, and the effects of developmental or relational trauma.
You do not need to arrive with 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
To support you in exploring this step, I offer a free 30-minute introductory consultation. This is an opportunity for us to meet, explore what has brought you here, and sense together whether this way of working feels like the right fit.
