My therapeutic approach encourages individuals to cultivate deep awareness of issues arising in the present. Drawing on Western psychology and Eastern contemplative traditions, therapy is seen as a joint undertaking where client and therapist investigate present issues with kindness and compassion, thus enabling the client to move beyond past conditioning to change their relationship to themselves and others. Mindfulness-based psychotherapy is suitable for a wide range of issues including; Issues with self-esteem; depression, panic and anxiety; trauma, post traumatic stress, childhood trauma and abuse; addiction recovery; and bereavement and grief. CPP is a mindfulness-centered therapeutic approach that encourages individuals to cultivate deep awareness of their body and mind for self-exploration and healing. CPP operates under the premise that every individual possesses an inherent state of health, awareness, and wisdom, obscured by conditioned patterns developed throughout life. The therapy aims to slow down automatic processes, allowing for examination and adjustment, and facilitate the exploration of previously hidden psychological material in a safe environment. Therapeutic sessions involve a collaborative journey between the therapist and individual to delve into their inner experiences. The therapist acts as a guide, aiding the individual in turning their focus inward to observe their present moment experiences. By engaging in embodied enquiry, individuals may uncover the origins of their issues and gain a clearer understanding of themselves, ultimately fostering flexibility and creativity in approaching life
