Core Process Psychotherapy
At the best of times it can be difficult to find the right therapist or counsellor. Of course, we rarely search at the best of times! Usually, we do so when we are struggling, when we just need someone to talk to. The search for support can feel difficult and confusing.
Áine Collins is committed to and experienced in working with clients from all walks of life. Her practice is lesbian and gay-friendly, and informed by a cross-cultural perspective. Differences are respected, valued and acknowledged in all her work.
What can you expect in your first session?
As a Core Process Psychotherapist Áine offers an initial meeting for which there is no charge. It is an opportunity to consider the reasons for therapy and ask questions of each other. If it seems like we might work together we agree to do so for six weeks after which we review and determine the next step.
How often and how many sessions are needed?
Sessions are weekly and last for one hour. There is flexibility to accommodate commitments, which do not permit weekly therapy.
Áine offers both short and long-term psychotherapy.
Short term therapy may be helpful in a crisis or support a difficult decision making process. A deeper voyage of enquiry facilitates re-discovery and recovery of self.
About Core Process Psychotherapy
Core Process Psychotherapy offers an opportunity to explore difficulty and suffering with support. We do so with compassion and respect drawing on Western and Buddhist understandings of human nature and experience.
Everything is included in Core Process Psychotherapy – our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual states. Our strengths as well as difficulties are invited.
Áine works in different ways in keeping with individual uniqueness. For example, she might offer encouragement to be with present experience, to recall the past, to cry, move, use art materials, imagine, dream, feel, think.
People interested in body psychotherapy may enjoy working with Core Process Psychotherapy. This allows clients to address psychosomatic issues.
The awareness attained in Core Process Psychotherapy can allow us to open more fully to present possibilities, to experience choice where none seemed possible, to reconnect with our inherent core of wisdom and well being.
Feel free to call Áine if you would like to ask anything or to make an appointment to explore working with her. To see which areas and issues are suitable for psychotherapy click here.
