At the heart of Core Process Psychotherapy (CPP) lies a simple but profound belief: that within each of us exists a natural state of wholeness, clarity, and inner health.
This therapy invites you to slow down and gently bring awareness to your present experience—body, mind, emotion and thought. It doesn’t seek to analyse or ‘fix’, but rather supports you in becoming curious about the patterns, beliefs, and inner stories that may be shaping your life.
Core Process Psychotherapy is an integrative model that weaves together Buddhist psychology and Western therapeutic traditions—including psychodynamic and humanistic approaches. It’s suitable for both spiritual and non-spiritual clients, and no prior experience with mindfulness is needed. This work simply meets you as you are.
At the heart of Core Process Psychotherapy lies a simple but profound belief: that within each of us exists a natural state of wholeness, clarity, and inner health. This therapy invites you to slow down and gently turn inwards towards your present experience—body, mind, emotions, and thoughts. It does not seek to analyse or ‘fix’ but instead supports a gentle curiosity about the patterns, beliefs and inner narratives shaping your life.
Alongside this grounded place of awareness, three key elements guide the therapeutic process:
Healing often begins with feeling seen, heard, and accepted. CPP places great value on the therapeutic relationship as a container for change.
In this attuned, non-judgemental space, parts of ourselves that may feel lost, shamed, or silenced can begin to safely emerge. As Dr. Gabor Maté writes:
“We’re not traumatised because we’re hurt—we’re traumatised because we’re alone with the hurt.”
CPP holds you in that hurt, offering the possibility of healing through connection.
Mindfulness here isn’t a tool or technique—it’s a way of being. We notice what’s happening in the moment with compassionate curiosity, whether that’s a sensation, emotion, memory, or thought. This noticing creates space—space to respond differently, to reflect, and to choose new possibilities.
We also work with values drawn from Buddhist traditions such as:
A quiet trust guides Core Process Psychotherapy: beneath all the layers of difficulty, adaptation, or confusion, there remains something whole and wise within you. That place isn’t something we need to build — it’s something we return to. This work isn’t about becoming someone else — it’s about meeting ourselves as we are, in each moment: being. That core presence has not been lost; it’s simply waiting to be met again.
