Mindfulness Based Psychotherapy and IFS
Mindfulness Based Psychotherapy, also known as Core Process, is an integration of Buddhist psychology and Western Psychotherapy, which understands that awareness is transformative. Through the support of the therapeutic relationship awareness of our own nature enables an opening into change and healing, so that suffering can be eased as we allow spacious, compassionate acceptance to emerge.
Danielle has been trained in bringing compassion and curiosity to working with the body, developmental and attachment issues, relationship difficulties, and trauma.
IFS supports the process of becoming more intimately aware of all the parts of ourselves and welcoming them with the intention of bringing more harmony within our system. This relational psychotherapy can also help to ease self-critical thoughts, stuckness, anger, sadness, fear/anxiety and suffering. As we learn to meet ourselves with gentleness and compassion we offer healing to parts of ourselves and our relationships.
This psychotherapy can help clients to process and heal from difficult emotions, painful feelings and traumatic experiences. Client's are supported in resourcing and staying present to what arises, practicing exploring their experiences from a place of curiosity and compassion.
Throughout this process Danielle supports clients in working with embodied sensations, bringing awareness to the body’s subtle reactions and feeling tones, in the moment. This exploration of self is done in relationship and Danielle provides a safe and confidential holding environment for the client to be deeply heard and seen.
An initial meeting through zoom is offered free of charge for 30 minutes, this is an opportunity to meet and find out if you would like to begin Psychotherapy.
Danielle see's clients on a weekly basis, for one hour sessions.
