About me
For most of my life I have studied and worked with people, exploring philosophy and issues of health and mental health. I work with people who are trying to deal with long term problems arising out of early trauma, abuse and neglect. I work with people who have relationship problems as well as people dealing with loneliness and stress and anxiety, depression and much more.
Core Process Psychotherapy is a synthesis of Western psychology and Buddhist understanding which has been taught and developed by Maura and Franklyn Sills of the Karuna Institute over many years. It works with body, mind and feelings towards a greater sense of our underlying wholeness. Its emphasis is on exploring our particular experience and it respects each individual’s journey towards healing.
I work with both long and short term clients. My work is chiefly mindfulness-based and use the therapeutic skills that I have studied and explored over the years. I am also training to be on the recognised list of supervisors at UKCP.
When you come to see me we will work together to form a safe space in which to explore your feelings and thoughts about yourself, and your difficulties. We will work to form a positive therapeutic relationship from which you can feel more able to experience, face and heal what is distancing you from your sense of well-being.

When you come to see me we will work together to form a safe space in which to explore your feelings and thoughts about yourself, and your difficulties, to form a positive therapeutic relationship from which you become able to experience, face and heal what is distancing you from your well-being.
Core Process Psychotherapy, was established in 1982 and is one of the original mindfulness-based psychotherapy training programs. Buddhist psychology and mindfulness practice underpin this work and are integrated with western personality theory, psychodynamics and psychotherapy skills.
Core Process psychotherapy is all about the relationship between you and your therapist; it is about how we make sense together of the world we are in and how we understand what is happening. We are engaged in a joint healing process where an awareness of the body, its feelings and feeling tones, thoughts and imaginings are used to explore the nature of selfhood and how to find meaning and wellbeing.
