Core Process Psychotherapy

CORE PROCESS PSYCHOTHERAPY

With Andy Gibb

"Well-being is not just about physical and mental stability, but is seen at a core level to be a truly expansive state of awareness, compassion, joy and peace." Karuna Institute

Core Process Psychotherapy works with the body, mind and spirit and draws from modern Western psychotherapeutic approaches combined with Buddhist philosophy - principally the teachings on compassion, wisdom and unconditional acceptance. Here, our core relates to the unconditioned self and is seen to be a place of inherent health and our process is the way we are in the moment, how we react and respond to our world from both our conditioned and unconditioned aspects. In Core Process work, a depth awareness of what is happening in the present moment is used to explore our inner process. This awareness encompasses our energies, sensations, feelings, mental processes and their expressions in the body.

In life we can fall into habitual ways of seeing, thinking and doing, losing touch with what is deepest in ourselves and the full extent of our potential as human beings. Without awareness of this process these habits can then become our lives. Contact with the deepest parts of ourselves affords us perhaps our greatest opportunities for creativity, learning and growing, facilitating greater and more conscious choice in our everyday lives.

Although most clients enter into a therapeutic relationship for reasons of difficulty, for some the motivation is simply the desire to grow in awareness, to become more true to oneself, to reawaken more spontaneity and vitality. As awareness needs to be cultivated, generally the intention when engaging in psychotherapy is to work medium to long term.

Confidentiality and professional standards are of the utmost importance and form an essential part of psychotherapy. All sessions are conducted in accordance with the ethical standards of The Karuna Institute and UKCP.

My Intention is to respect your individuality, support you in finding your own way of working and to meet your uniqueness without judgement. As your therapist it is my role to be a reflector and facilitator of awareness, a companion and guide.
