Core Process Psychotherapy begins with the assumption that we are all inherently healthy beings; that none of us is an island, separate from the relationships that make us who we are; and that each of us is free and open to change.In CPP the therapist and client work together in a joint healing process in which an awareness of the body, its feelings, and the states of mind that arise, are used to explore the nature of selfhood and suffering.The therapist's task is to be as fully present as possible to the client and to themself, and to the relationship between them. The therapist is attuned to the client’s ongoing process, allowing awareness of that process to arise in an atmosphere of safety and trust which permits challenging issues to be faced and embraced. Core Process Psychotherapy is one of the original mindfulness-based psychotherapies. It integrates Buddhist sources and western psychological theory and psychotherapeutic practice. It does not ask that the client or the therapist should have any particular spiritual affiliation, or that the client should learn to practise mindfulness. CPP has been established since the 1980s and is part of the humanistic and integrative college of the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy UKCP . My practice is called Inscape Psychotherapy.  This is my website: https://www.inscapepsychotherapy.co.uk/.
