Core Process Psychotherapy (CPP) is not about fixing, but about listening. It invites you to slow down, to meet your experience with breath and presence, and to discover that beneath pain and confusion there is something whole, wise, and intact.
What Is Core Process Psychotherapy?
Rooted in Buddhist psychology and contemplative practice, Core Process is a mindful, relational approach to psychotherapy. Instead of pushing for change, it invites you to notice what is already here, with compassion. From that ground, healing unfolds naturally.
(To learn how CPP weaves with other practices I offer, visit My Approach).
The Benefits of Core Process
Core Process Psychotherapy offers:
-
A safe, relational space to explore whatever arises — thoughts, emotions, sensations, or silence.
-
A gentle pace that honours your nervous system rather than overriding it.
-
A mindful path that helps old patterns soften so clarity, self-trust, and belonging can emerge.
(To see what this looks like in a 1:1 session, explore Working With You).
Who This Work Is For
This practice may resonate if you:
-
Feel emotionally overwhelmed, shut down, or caught in repeating cycles.
-
Carry early attachment wounds or a deep sense of aloneness.
-
Long to feel more connected — to yourself, your body, your relationships.
-
Are drawn to mindfulness, somatic practice, or spiritual inquiry.
-
Sense something in you wants to be met — but not forced.
(For group spaces and retreats, see Events).
Returning to Presence
Core Process is a practice of returning — again and again — to what is true in this moment. From that ground, healing unfolds. Not because we force it, but because we finally stop trying to make it happen.
I offer Core Process woven with Somatic Experiencing® and Conscious Connected Breathwork for a more embodied, trauma-informed path. This is not a quick fix, but a way of remembering — of gently and fully coming home to yourself.
