Core Process Psychotherapy

A safe space for you to explore what is present in the moment using a mindfulness-based approach. At your own pace I will help you to bring awareness to your experiences and to start your own healing journey of change and transformation.

Welcome

I wanted to give you a warm welcome and acknowledge your effort in taking this first step. It is not easy to start therapy; overcoming any fear you may feel, where to search, which therapist to choose…

I would like to invite you to stop for a moment.
Close your eyes slowly.
Take a deep breath.
How do you feel? Where in your body do you feel it?

Sometimes life presents us with difficulties that can leave our world upside down. We can end up feeling anxious, depressed, angry, frustrated… Sometimes we just experience a lack of meaning and can’t connect with the life force that makes us feel alive.

Mindfulness Core Process Psychotherapy

My practice is Core Process Psychotherapy, a mindfulness-based approach that slowly helps you to get in touch with your body. By exploring your physical sensations, you will learn to process feelings in your body instead of going in circles in your head.

Buddhist psychology and mindfulness practice underpin this work. Teachings are drawn from different Buddhist sources and lineages to create a broad vehicle for the training of psychotherapists, which is integrated with Western personality theory, psychodynamics and psychotherapy skills.

Ecotherapy

Ecotherapy, also known as nature-based therapy, is a therapeutic approach that integrates the healing power of the natural world into the psychotherapeutic process. Grounded in the understanding that our connection to nature plays a vital role in emotional and psychological well-being, ecotherapy invites individuals to engage with the outdoors as part of their healing journey.

Research and clinical experience show that spending time in natural settings can help reduce stress, improve mood, enhance self-awareness, and foster a deeper sense of connection to oneself, others, and the environment. It can take different shapes; walking in the woods, sitting together in nature, meditation…

We will first meet online or in person in my practice in Bristol to go through a risk assessment and agree where is the best place to meet outdoors. Options like Leigh Woods in Bristol or Deer Leap near Priddy are available.

How does therapy work?

I offer an initial 30 minute free session, which is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and decide if we want to work together. After this, we will take time to process and decide how we want to move forward. Regarding the price, I offer an affordable rate of £50 for an hour session.
