'We are always in the process of becoming. This is the heart of the work' - Clarissa Pinkes Estés
A therapeutic space provides an opportunity to explore and understand what is arising in your internal world. With compassion and curiosity, we can dive deeper into your inner landscape. When we turn toward what feels painful, instead of avoiding it, we deepen our awareness. This can free us and help us move through life’s difficulties.
A Therapeutic Space to Deepen Your Connection
By staying with our emotions and inner processes, we can begin to unfold into new experiences of self. This, in turn, allows us to bring new awareness and understanding into our external relationships, helping us feel more grounded and capable of staying present through life’s challenges.
Core Process Psychotherapy & Humanistic Counselling can help you:
- Work through feelings of anxiety, grief, emotional intensity, or dissociation
- Feel more grounded, resourced, and emotionally regulated
- Shift relational or behavioral patterns that you may have outgrown
- Navigate endings, transitions, or shifts in identity
- Reconnect with a deeper sense of who you are and who you are becoming
- Develop compassion towards yourself and a deeper sense of inner clarity
A Therapeutic Relationship
The therapeutic relationship offers a safe, reflective space where we can explore difficult emotions and experiences together. This space allows us to uncover insights and facilitate growth, integrating the known and the unknown. By working with these emotions and patterns, new capacities for growth can emerge.
We will explore:
- Emotional responses and habitual thought patterns
- Body sensations and nervous system regulation
- Early attachment experiences and the different parts of the self that show up in relationship
- Stillness, insight, and the spaciousness that allows integration
There is also space for what feels uncertain or unresolved - the quiet, in-between places that can’t be fixed but can be held. Often, these are the places where something new can begin.
About Me
I am a BACP-accredited counsellor and UKCP-accredited psychotherapist with over 12 years of experience. I hold a Master’s degree in Core Process Psychotherapy from the Karuna Institute, which integrates Buddhist psychology, Western psychodynamics, and embodied inquiry.
My own therapeutic journey led me to become a therapist, after spending several years teaching. As a gay man, I have explored themes of sexuality and belonging within broader societal contexts. I also have a contemplative practice, which includes meditation, Kum Nye (a Tibetan form of yoga), and other grounding techniques that connect me to my inner self and the present moment.
In my personal life, I spend time in nature, maintain a regular exercise routine, and connect with my inner life through the guitar. These practices are a source of grounding and creativity for me, which I bring into my therapeutic work.
