What is Core Process Psychotherapy?
![[Image: Ripple in water]](assets/images/rippleGreen.jpg)
Core Process Psychotherapy works with the body, mind and spirit. Combining western psychotherapeutic approaches and Buddhist philosophies to create a way of working in the present, with compassion and awareness, in a deep and transformative way.
Core Process Psychotherapy is a process of self discovery, of exploring where limiting behaviours and beliefs and emotional conflicts come from, whilst enabling new ways of being, freer and less limited from these restrictions.
Core Process Psychotherapy works from the premise that we are all essentially whole and healthy at our Core. This health can become obscured by events and traumas in our lives that have caused us to react with defensive patterns. These patterns can become habitual and continue long after the event or trauma has passed. Limiting behaviours and beliefs can obscure our healthy Core and our ability to see the way forward, which can stop us from reaching our full potential.
The intention of Core Process Psychotherapy is a return to our healthy Core, where there is the possibility of a more authentic and skilful response to the conditions of daily life.
Many people come for therapy when they are experiencing difficulties in their lives, loss, bereavement, illness, life crisis, a crossroads, work or relationship problems, a vague sense of unhappiness or dissatisfaction, depression, anxiety or simply a desire to know themselves more deeply.
Therapy Sessions
An initial consultation will enable us to meet and discuss the possibility of working together. There is no charge for this. Should we decide to work together I suggest that we meet for 6 weekly sessions to give us the opportunity to establish a relationship before reviewing our work. As we continue we will regularly review how things are progressing.
Sessions are for 1 hour, usually at the same time each week. How long you need to come for will depend on your personal needs and is usually medium to long term. Whilst some people may find that fewer sessions are enough to work on simpler issues and decisions, others may work for many months or even years to gain under- standing and insight of deeper issues and for further personal development.
Confidentiality
Strict confidentiality is maintained at all times. In line with my code of ethics I have regular supervision of my work. This is done in the strictest of confidence and without disclosing identities.
As a student of the Karuna Institute I abide by their code of ethics. I am also a student member of the United Kingdom Council of Psychotherapists.
