It is important that you feel happy working with the therapist of your choice. A therapist who will be there to listen to how it is for you.
We will book an initial appointment, where we will have a general discussion on the concerns you would like to bring to therapy. I encourage you to listen to your feelings, reflect on how I can meet your needs, and discuss a therapy schedule that suits your needs.
In Core Process Psychotherapy, the relationship between the therapist and the client is based on equality. As a therapist, I bring the skills needed to ensure a safe, in-depth personal exploration and encouragement when things get difficult. I believe that the journey towards clarity is shared, and that each individual is the only expert on their own experience.
In my understanding, a balanced state of health is inherent, and as such, it's a state we can always return to. I see the therapeutic relationship as a journey, where my therapeutic presence is a reminder that you are not alone. Sometimes the opportunity to share your feelings with another and have your experience acknowledged is all that is needed.
Core Process has its roots in Buddhist psychology and mindfulness practice. This understanding is merged with Western Psychotherapy theory to bring a unique awareness of body, mind and spirit to the therapeutic relationship.
