I offer Core Process Psychotherapy, which is a type of psychotherapy that combines some Western psychotherapeutic theories with mindfulness and Buddhist thought. It is a contemplative psychotherapy which emphasises compassion and kindness towards ourselves. At its heart is the belief that inside each of us is a core state of health and wholeness. In my sessions, I aim to provide you with a warm, accepting, safe space in which we can explore your experiences and patterns at your own pace and bring some curiosity and compassion to them.I have been offering clients first counselling and then psychotherapy since 2011.  I have a Master's degree in Mindfulness-based Psychotherapeutic Practice and a Higher Professional Diploma in Integrative Counselling. My background is in language teaching and publishing and I continue to be interested in languages and cultures from different parts of the world.My psychotherapy work is rooted in and supported by my longstanding meditation practice.
