Core Process Psychotherapy- The Contemporary Approach
Core Process Psychotherapy is based on an in-depth understanding of human personality processes and of human potential. The ‘Core’ is that unconditional state inherent in all of us, a state that is potentially present in every moment. Core Process is the movement from this inherent awareness or unconditional state to the way we develop our personality and the shape of who we are.
The therapeutic process involves looking at the individual’s developmental history, the potential of existential awakening and the realisation of the essential integrity of our Core. This process of psychological reflection is held within contemplative awareness of the wider nature of the true essence of our being.
Reality is not so much about a series of events that happen to us but more about our experiencing and living of these events. Often we cannot change events especially when they are in the past, but we can change our experiencing of them.
The use of Focussing, a technique developed by Eugene Gendlin, through our ‘felt experiencing’ or ‘felt sense’ is one way that we can begin to look at our experiences. It is through this ‘felt sense’ that can enable the therapist and client to tap into the territory of what is unknown and unfamiliar in the therapeutic process. This ‘felt sense’ is the inward bodily response to a direct experience of a present moment. The therapeutic work begins with looking at arising experiences through sensations, energies, feelings, thought processes and bodily expressions, the ‘felt meaning’.
In following our felt sense, we can begin to experience the process of becoming truly alive to our human condition.
Core Process Psychotherapy is humanistic, integrative, transpersonal and psychospiritual in its approach with influences from reflections of the existential and phenomenological aspects.
Core Process Psychotherapy is also rooted in Buddhism, Buddhist psychology and awareness practices.
This combination of the Buddhist views and Western psychotherapeutic concepts, brings together a focus of a body-mind awareness, which helps to centre on our present experiences with openness, spaciousness, compassion and clarity within a non-judgemental environment of exploration.
People choose to come for psychotherapy for different reasons. They could be going through any of the following:
- Depression
- Fears and Anxieties
- A personal or existential crisis
- A major life-change
- Relationship problems
- Bereavement
Or more subtle issues such as:
- Feelings of being blocked or stuck
- Feelings of emptiness and wishing to enquire more deeply into life
- Feelings of being cut-off, isolated or alienated and wish to engage in a therapeutic alliance to explore the difficulties
If one or more of these concern you please don't hesitate to get in touch by calling me on 07951 036381 or email cyloh@btinternet.com
Gina Barker
Burma Road N16 Counselling & Psychotherapy Practice50 Burma Road, London N16 9BJTel: 020 7275 8002Email: ginabarker@blueyonder.co.uk
I have over 20 years experience as an psychotherapist and also as a supervisor to trainees and qualified counsellors and psychotherapists.
I have a training background in humanistic/transpersonal and analytic counselling and psychotherapy. I am a UKCP Reg member of The Bowlby Centre, and also a training therapist and supervisor for that training centre.
Attachment-based psychotherapy believes in the central importance of human relationships in our development. Secure and supportive attachments and relationships help us to be more confident in ourselves. But if we didn't have this secure base in childhood, we may easily feel lost, abandoned or disturbed in other ways, especially when crises arise in our every day lives. The therapy can give you the opportunity to understand, talk about, make sense of what has happened to you, and to mourn any losses.
In this process you can be helped to move on in your life, and to enhance your possibilities in relationships.
I work with individuals and couples from a wide variety of different backgrounds, with many different problems, and I am able to work flexibly according to individual needs.
Finally I am a founder and practice manager of The Burma Road Practice for Counselling and Psychotherapy. In this role I offer initial assessment interviews for people who are seeking counselling or psychotherapy, and who may need some help in finding an appropriate practitioner.

Therapy can be a time and place for two people to meet and talk with the aim that the client may move towards a more fruitful and meaningful existence.
With an MA in Existential Psychotherapy and Diploma in Adlerian Counselling, Kathy offers therapy sessions for individuals who are experiencing difficulties and problems with living.
The existential approach to therapy is fundamentally philosophical; it is an approach that tries to avoid preconceptions and prejudice in favour of attempting to understand and describe the individual and unique world of the client. Indeed, it is an approach that does not necessarily try to facilitate change - though change often occurs - but rather helps the client come to terms with life and all its contradictions.
The existential approach eschews a formalised technique of therapy, preferring to focus on one that is questioning of your individual circumstance.
If you would like to discuss the possibility of psychotherapy in london, or feel like you would like to arrange an initial - without obligation - session to meet and discuss whether this is for you, then please do not hesitate to contact me.

I am an experienced, fully qualified, BACP accredited Counsellor and UKCP registered Psychotherapist, based at convenient locations in Stoke Newington in Hackney, Holborn and The City. I offer both short and long-term counselling and psychotherapy to individuals, using an open, grounded approach.
Counselling and psychotherapy are both ‘talking therapies', or in other words, conversations that attempt to help us make sense of our lives. Their aim is to clarify those aspects of a person's life that cause distress, confusion or lead us to feel blocked, stuck or unfulfilled. It is through such clarification that one is more able to make choices about those things that we may wish to change or understand more fully, and also to come to terms with those things that we can't.
I work on the assumption that feeling safe and contained within the client-counsellor relationship, forms the basis of our work together. My approach to counselling and therapy is non-dogmatic, supportive and involved. It is also always jargon-free – if things cannot be stated in every day language, then it is likely that they have not been properly expressed or understood.
I hope that this gives you some indication of my perspective on counselling and psychotherapy. However, feel free to contact me if you’d like to know more about how I work, to discuss any aspect of my practice or to arrange an initial session.

Niki D (MA, UKCP, MBACP)
Bloomsbury, WC1Dalston, E8Tel: 0790 1926 400Email: info@nikidtherapy.co.ukWebsite: www.nikidtherapy.co.uk
I have 20 years experience working as a counsellor and psychotherapist, am qualified to MA level and registered with UKCP and a member of BACP.
I work with adults and teenagers in private practice. I have also worked in prisons, women’s refuges, homeless agencies, schools, rehabilitation centres and crisis services.
My approach to therapy is from an existential humanistic perspective, which prevents people being judged and stigmatised. Instead this approach allows a dynamic exploration of meaning, values, dilemmas, thoughts and feelings. I am involved, encouraging and challenging in my work as a therapist in order to help you make the most of your sessions and move forward towards your own therapy goals.

Why therapy?
Many of us encounter difficulties and challenges in our lives. Often, we can address them on our own or with the support of friends. However, there are times when life events become overwhelming. You may become aware of certain repeated, destructive patterns in your life but feel unable to prevent them from happening - it can seem as if your choices have been taken away and you feel powerless. At times like this psychotherapy can help you to become aware of how and why these patterns originated. It also supports you to look at the part you play in creating and perpetuating them - for this is the part that you can change.
Although understanding the past is an important part of the therapeutic process, actual change can only happen in the present. Change means choosing to do things differently and that can seem very risky and frightening. Psychotherapy will help you develop a stronger sense of yourself so that you can contain that anxiety, take back the power that you give away and create the life you want.
As an experienced therapist I can help you to heal your past, live your present, and create your future.

Julia Bueno
Stoke Newington practiceTel: 07956 476 808Email: mail@juliabueno.co.ukWebsite: www.juliabueno.co.uk
I am a qualified, experienced and UKCP registered Integrative Psychotherapist and Counsellor, working in Stoke Newington, N16. I am also a full member of the BACP. As well as my private practice I work as a psychotherapist for a NHS Psychotherapy Service and WHCM Forrest.
I imagine, reading this, that you are feeling something that is getting in the way of things. Maybe you are sad, angry, anxious, low, lonely or feeling something that makes it difficult to like yourself or others. Sometimes we don’t have the words to describe what we are feeling, although we do know we want to feel better.
My experience has shown me that talking through these things with someone trained to hear them (and respond to them) in a particular way can often be hugely helpful. It won't “cure” you, and cannot erase a painful past, but it can equip you to move on with greater ease, and even with a greater potential for further positive change.
My website www.juliabueno.co.uk aims to tell you more about me, my experience, and about how I may be able to help you (and what I look like). Feel free to contact me with questions that remain un-answered
