About me
If you are feeling overwhelmed, facing persistent challenges, or struggling with your relationships, psychotherapy can offer a supportive path forward.
Together, we can explore what is happening in your life. I hold a background in mindfulness-based psychotherapy alongside training in various therapeutic models, built on over 30 years of experience working one-to-one with clients. I am also an accredited UKCP supervisor.
About Core Process Psychotherapy:
Core Process Psychotherapy integrates Western psychology with Buddhist understanding. Developed over many years, this approach works with the body, mind, and emotions to support your inherent sense of wholeness, honoring your unique journey toward healing.
In our sessions, we will create a safe, collaborative space to explore your thoughts and feelings. By building a strong therapeutic relationship, we can gently meet and heal the difficulties coming between you and your well-being; helping you make sense of it all.

Further information
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.
