Pinar Mcgivern
Mindfulness psychotherapistAbout Me
I am an experienced UKCP-registered psychotherapist, offering mindfulness-
based psychotherapy to couples and individuals.
I have an MA in Core Process Psychotherapy from the Karuna Institute and a
Diploma in Transpersonal Couples and Intimate Relationship Therapy. I have
worked with a diverse range of individuals and couples for over a decade.
Before training in psychotherapy, I did a degree in Film Studies, worked in TV
and film, but then became disillusioned with the work I was doing. At the same
time, I developed an interest in meditation, began exploring mindfulness, and
studied Tibetan Buddhism in its traditional setting in Nepal for several years.
This led me to train in mindfulness-based psychotherapy.
I am passionate about supporting my clients finding their own voice and pace
in difficulty. We live in an increasingly uncertain world, so may be facing
existential questions or lose a sense of purpose. Our relationships sometimes
feel fragile. I believe that letting go of old patterns takes courage and
mindfulness teaches us how to find our own strength in the midst of chaos.
I offer in-depth, long- and short-term relational psychotherapy, both online
and face to face. I integrate Focusing, Internal Family System and
Compassionate Inquiry into my work. In simpler terms, I aim to develop
authentic relationships with my clients, empower them to trust their own
sense of embodied presence, and so address any challenges they are facing.
