Core Process Psychotherapy

Practitioners: Heather Garner

Core Process Psychotherapy

Core Process Psychotherapy works from the assumption that there is a place of health at the core of all human experience and inherent in all of us is a natural organic movement towards health.

Who is Therapy for?

Entering therapy takes courage and purpose.

It is a highly personal decision often in response to:

  • looking for a new direction
  • a crisis, such as a break in relationship, a death or not getting over a death or loss
  • a change of life circumstances
  • longstanding experiences of underlying stress and anxiety
  • discontent, depression or other painful emotion
  • relationship issues, sexual orientation, abuse
  • a sense of meaninglessness
  • feeling "different" or out of place
  • difficulty coping with angry feelings or trauma

What is Core Process Psychotherapy ?

The approach draws on a western understanding of human development and a Buddhist understanding of self.

What do we do ?

We talk together and gently yet deeply explore your experience. We look at the strategies and patterns you have developed to survive in response to past difficulties or traumas and how these prevent you from living life fully.

We help to develop your skills to be ‘aware’ of choice in the moment/s of distress and to let go of what holds you back. This can release energy and vitality and help you not to be hounded by the past or the future but to live well and fully in the present.

How to find out if this is for you.

A free 40 minute exploratory session is offered for you to find out more and to assess whether this therapy is for you.

  • Psychotherapy requires commitment, and it is therefore important to explore whether it is what you are looking for.
  • The session is used to discuss expectations, answer questions, and for both of us to get a sense that we can work together.
