Do you find yourself returning to the same emotional or relationship difficulties, without fully understanding why?
Perhaps stress, anxiety, grief, past experiences or difficult relationships are affecting how you feel and live your life.
What might become possible through developing a deeper understanding of yourself and how you relate to others?
Mindfulness-Based Core Process Psychotherapy (MCPP) is a compassionate, embodiment-focused approach that blends mindfulness with explorative talk therapy. It helps you develop a deeper awareness of your thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations in the present moment, offering insight into how past experiences influence your well-being. Rooted in both Buddhist psychology and Western psychotherapy, this approach encourages self-awareness, emotional resilience, and a greater sense of ease in life.
Through a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship, you are encouraged to explore your inner world with curiosity and kindness, leading to deeper self-understanding, improved relationships, and meaningful, lasting change.
Mindfulness-Based Core Process Psychotherapy (MCPP) is a compassionate, embodied and relational approach that brings together mindfulness and talking therapy. It can support a deeper awareness of thoughts, emotions and physical sensations in the present moment, while gently exploring how past experiences and relationships may influence how you feel and respond today.
Rooted in Buddhist psychology and informed by Western psychotherapy, attachment and contemporary understandings of trauma, this approach can support greater self-awareness, emotional resilience and a more compassionate relationship with your experience.
Central to Core Process Psychotherapy is an understanding that beneath our learned and conditioned ways of being lies an inherent capacity for health and well-being. By attending to psychological and embodied experience, we can begin to recognise habitual responses, explore how they may once have helped us adapt, and notice where they may now be limiting how we live and relate.
Within a confidential and supportive therapeutic relationship, you are invited to explore your experience with curiosity and kindness. Over time, this can create greater awareness and choice in how you respond to difficulties, relate to others and meet the changing circumstances of your life.
Finding greater steadiness during difficult or overwhelming times.
Exploring identity and neurodivergence experience with greater understanding and compassion.
Exploring how past experiences may influence how you feel and respond today.
Exploring the emotional impact of illness, health changes or diagnosis.
Support through parenting, family changes and significant life transitions.
Finding greater steadiness through conflict, uncertainty and change.
In a Core Process Psychotherapy session, you can expect a calm, confidential and supportive space to explore your thoughts, emotions and embodied experience with curiosity and kindness. Sessions last 60 minutes and take place online via Zoom or in person in Lewes, East Sussex.
We begin with an initial consultation to explore what brings you to therapy, what you are looking for and whether working together feels right. Following this, regular sessions allow continuity and trust within the therapeutic relationship to develop over time.
Sessions may include mindfulness practices such as breath awareness and gentle attention to what is happening in the present moment. Alongside talking about your experiences, we can explore how they are felt and expressed in the here and now, bringing awareness to habitual responses that may otherwise go unnoticed.
Over time, this compassionate awareness can support greater understanding, more choice in how you respond and a deeper connection with yourself and others.
