About Core Process Psychotherapy

My background in social work and psychological wellbeing has allowed me to support people through various challenges for over 15 years. Having found mindfulness and psychotherapy so valuable in my own life, training in Core Process Psychotherapy felt like a natural step in my journey. This evolving experience continues to shape and inspire the way I offer my presence and care to others. I am passionate about working with people at depth as they uncover who they truly are and I believe we all have the capacity to experience more freedom from suffering, whatever that means for each of us.

The natural world is where I feel most at home. I have lived in North Devon for many years, finding peace and perspective walking its beautiful and untamed landscapes. Time in nature reminds me of the importance of slowing down, attuning to the moment and simply being - qualities I bring to my work with clients. My intention is to offer a safe, grounded, respectful and compassionate space where you can explore your inner world in a way that feels supportive and meaningful to you. Further information about How We Work Together can be found on the Details page.

About Me

A Relational Journey

In Core Process Psychotherapy, the therapist is a companion rather than an expert who has all the answers. Together we create a safe space where you will be deeply seen and heard, and where your own wisdom can unfold naturally. This is not about being treated as a problem to be fixed or being told what to do, but about nurturing your capacity to listen more deeply to yourself while receiving the support you need to take the steps that feel right for you.

The therapeutic relationship itself becomes a place of healing - perhaps the first relationship where you can be completely yourself without performance or pretence.

I am in the later stages of UKCP-accredited training in Mindfulness Based Core Process Psychotherapy at the Karuna Institute. This depth-relational approach weaves together Buddhist philosophy and practice with contemporary psychotherapeutic understanding, offering a spacious, integrative, and holistic way of working with people.

All practicing Core Process Psychotherapists engage in ongoing contemplative meditation practice, which supports presence, compassion and embodied awareness in working with clients.
