Being With
Bristol Mindfulness Therapy
UKCP Core Process Therapist (Trainee)
Welcome
I encourage you to come in all that you are.I offer a secure, confidential and safe space in which to explore and be with what is happening in your life.There are many reasons people might seek the support of therapy: for example, you could be experiencing anxiety or depression; or there may be challenge and change in important relationships.
You may be facing a crisis, or there may be a more general sense of discomfort and lack of ease.
Mindfulness based Therapy
The type of therapy offered is called Mindfulness-Based 'Core Process' Psychotherapy (MBCPP). In practice, this form of holistic therapy recognises the importance of how we experience relationship: to ourselves, to others; and life more broadly.By working together mindfully, we may enquire into the nature of human experience to better understand how these might inter-relate.Insights along the way may arise collaboratively, born of a deep relational connection which is enabled, importantly, in the context of a wider spiritual holding.
I have trained with the Karuna Institute, a training body that pioneered mindfulness-based therapy since the 1970s.I am accredited by the the UK Council for Psychotherapy, the leading organisation for psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors in the UK.
I offer both short-term and longer-term therapy based upon what is needed at the time. I have experience that includes working with relationships; trauma; depression/ anxiety; meditation; life changes and psychedelic integration.
About me
I have lived in Bristol for over 20 years, having previously worked as a journalist, and then as a lawyer.I first decided to become a therapist because I had found therapy hugely helpful myself, particularly as an enquiry into myself and my direction in life.If you are interested in trying therapy, please feel free to contact me by email for a free introductory meeting:
I look forward to meeting you.
