“You encouraged me and reassured me and, although some of the time it has been painful, I also had a lot of fun.
It has been a very creative and nurturing space. You helped me find my strength to face my fears.
I found my power and discovered that it is far greater than I ever imagined it to be.
I am now happier in every area of my life. Thank you Donald for your loving support”

Somatic Psychotherapy
Somatic psychotherapy works with the connection between the mind, body and emotions.
By paying attention to body language and voice tone, it helps you to connect with the underlying causes of conflict and distress at a deep level, enabling you to make deep and lasting changes.

Acceptance or Change? – The Paradox
“The snow goose need not bathe to make itself white. Neither need you do anything but be yourself”
Many people come to therapy believing that something is wrong with them and that they have to change to be OK.
The belief that who you are is not OK, which is often the cause of many of the limitations that you experience, can be reinforced if the therapy focusses on change rather than acceptance.
Core Development enables you to understand, respect and value yourself as you are now.
This understanding and self-acceptance creates the ideal conditions for you to make deep and lasting changes.
It enables you to live more fully and to improve the quality and richness of your life.
Core Development is a learning opportunity not a clinical method.
Core Development is currently based in Sydney, Australia.
