An Experiential Process of Emotional Learning and Awareness. Embodying principles of Somatic Psychotherapy and Structural Thinking.

Welcome to Core Development
Are you stressed, anxious or depressed, or know someone who is, but hesitate to seek help because you do not want to be labelled dysfunctional or mentally ill?
Have you wondered why, despite our advances in technology, and the increasing use and availability of counselling, coaching and psychotherapy, these issues are still major problems?
Do you want to be true to yourself in an environment or society that may not always share your priorities and values?
You may have already tried counselling or psychotherapy, or you may be at the beginning of your search for healing. Either way, you are looking for ways of making changes that will enable you to have the quality of life that you long for.
I adopt a learning rather than a clinical approach. I regard anxiety, depression and emotional challenges as opportunities to enrich every aspect of our lives.
Rather than looking for what’s wrong with you, I look for what’s trying to emerge, what needs to happen, and how I can support you in taking your next step.
This reveals your hidden strengths as well as your underlying challenges.
Life can be difficult sometimes.
Many of us experience stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, frustration or relationship difficulties.
These feelings often arise because you do not fit into any of the boxes that you are expected to fit into. Your needs are not understood and they are not being met.
I’ve been through this myself. I know how it feels. I’ve turned my own life around after many years of distress and helped many others do the same.
I offer sessions for individuals, couples, parents and teenagers, and talks and workshops for groups and organisations.
My aim is to help you deal effectively with the challenges you are facing, so you can make your life and relationships more fulfilling.
Core Development is an experiential process.
You may know something intellectually yet be unable to put it into practice. Experiential learning, on the other hand, enables you to put your understanding into practice to change your life.
