Question 1

What's your approach?

Accepted Answer

My training in Core Process Psychotherapy (CPP) is a depth,integrative, psychodynamic oriented psychotherapy. It includes aspects of body psychotherapy and transpersonal psychology and is underpinned by western developmental theories, as well as Buddhist psychology and awareness practices. I draw upon many other trainings, skills & tools I have developed and offer each individual the possibility to be met and supported in their own unique process of self-discovery. I attempt to meet each client where they are..

Question 2

What is Core Process Psychotherapy?

Accepted Answer

Core process psychotherapists are trained at the internationally renowned Karuna Institute in Devon. The core process approach offers a unique fusion of Eastern and Western teachings about the mind and body, drawing on ancient Buddhist teachings of how and why we experience suffering, and then combining them with well established Western psychotherapeutic approaches.
 
Core process psychotherapy is a powerful, non-pathologising (not framed through the lens of mental illness) way of meeting the rich panoply of reasons which lead us to begin therapy. It’s an approach to therapy which can help us to reframe experiences that we may initially experience as negative, as positive opportunities for deep and lasting change.
 
In core process psychotherapy, the shared therapeutic journey between the therapist and the client is called joint practice. Both the therapist and the client embark on a journey of self-discovery; a journey that requires two people to be willing and open to whatever arises in the therapeutic space.

Question 3

What's the first step?

Accepted Answer

Please contact me to arrange an initial meeting. During this meeting I would ask you to say a little more about what you are looking for support with, explain more about how I work and answer any questions you may have. Finding the right therapist for you is the most important first step. If I don't feel I would be suited to working with you for any reason, I will usually offer a referral to an alternative therapist.

Question 4

What happens in a first session?

Accepted Answer

During our first session we would read through and agree a contract - this sets out important information, such as confidentiality as well as practicals, so that you can have clear expectations and assurance of my professional standards. The remainder of our first session would involve me taking a 'case history' that enable you to tell me more about yourself, your history as well as your hopes and intentions of the therapeutic process.

Question 5

How many sessions will I require?

Accepted Answer

I offer some short-term foccused work and mainly longer-term depth psychotherapy. For all new clients initially we would agree to 6 x weekly sessions. On the sixth session we would take some time to review our work so far and decide together what would support you further. During an initial meeting we would take time to discuss the type of support you are looking for and what possible time frames would offer.

Yes, many of clients work online or sometimes a mix. I also work solely online with clients from different locations and internationaly. I use a secure online clinic and you receive a link to your call when the appointment is confirmed. There is no need to download anything or sign-in.
