Core Process Psychotherapy 

for the Heart, Mind, Body and Spirit

Integrating different approaches, I work with each person according to their needs. I seek to offer a safe, non-judgemental space in which the therapeutic relationship supports the integration of difficult or formative life experiences of all kinds, bringing awareness to and exploring processes in the mind as well as the heart, spirit and the body. 

Core Process Psychotherapy (CPP) is depth psychotherapy and process work - one could describe the process as Investigation and Integration; by investigating present issues and sensations you can gain insight into past conditioning with kindness and compassion, enabling you to move beyond your patterning and changing your relationship to yourself and others. CPP is a relational and mindfulness based psychotherapy, which aims to address all aspects that make us who we are; it meets a variety of conditions and offers the possibility of a long-term therapeutic relationship, accompanying clients from coping to thriving.

I am a UKCP accredited Core Process Psychotherapist with an MA in Mindfulness Based Psychotherapeutic Practice (MBPP) from the Karuna Institute and Middlesex University, combining Western psychodynamic and humanistic theories with Buddhist philosophy. Recognised by the UKCP, therapists trained in CPP are accredited by the Association of Core Process Psychotherapists, a member organisation of the Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy College. 

I work with adults of all ages, ethnicity, nationality, gender identity or expression, and sexual orientation. I have experience in working with a variety of issues, among others:

• Attachment issues

• Issues with self-esteem

• Depression and anxiety

• Trauma, childhood trauma, abuse (including sexual) and bullying

• Disordered eating and self-harming

• Grief 

• Racial and social discrimination

• Sexual and gender questionning

• Spiritual questions

 Other extensive experiences: 

• Support for Performing Artists and other Creative Artists (for example Actors, Dancers, Singers, Instrumantalists, and Fine Artists)

• Relationships

• Parenting

• Couples (please see the page for Couples Therapy)

Having practiced psychotherapy since the beginning of 2017, I gained accreditation with UKCP in June 2020. I adhere to the ethics and the code of practice of the UKCP. I closely engage with personal and peer supervision and Continued Professional Development. 

A member and former trustee of the CSTA, I have been a Craniosacral Therapist (CST) since 2007, have worked as a tutor, coordinator and director at a CST teaching clinic and am a CSTA accredited supervisor for complementary therapists. I have a contemporary dance and performance background.

What is the next step? 

After an initial phone call or email we have an trial meeting/initial session (this can be online or in person) to establish whether Core Process Psychotherapy would be a good fit for you and if we feel we can work together.

If we decide to work together, we establish a regular time and day when we meet, with a review after 6 sessions to establish the continued direction of our work. While we may decide not to continue, this is not short term solution focused work.

Sessions take place weekly and last 60 minutes. The fee for trial and on-going sessions is £75/hour. 

Please note that currently all reduced price spaces are filled.

Bookings can only be confirmed upon payment of the fee. 

Cancellation policy: The full fee is due for cancellations with less than one week notice.
