FAQs
-
Do I need to be a Buddhist to benefit from CPP?
No, Buddhism provides me with a very useful ethical, spiritual, and psychological framework, but it doesn’t require you to adhere to its teachings or its commandments. The Buddha famously said “try it out for yourself”.
-
How do I understand whether this is right for me?
We have a first ‘no-strings-attached’ session where we discuss your situation and the options available. I introduce the approach taken in Core Process Psychotherapy and we agree whether we give it a go.
-
What happens next?
If we both feel that it is appropriate, then we will meet once a week for one session of 50 minutes, and continue as long as you consider it useful.
-
Are there any special rules?
I usually prepare a contract, which spells out our mutual commitments, including how to deal with absences, breaks, cancellations etc.
-
How much do you charge?
I apply a sliding scale. Depending on your personal circumstances, from a minimum of 50 UKP to a maximum of 85 UKP.
-
Where do you practice?
I practice in Central London (WC2N 4EH) and in East Sussex (Forest Row)
-
My other commitments allow me only to see you early morning or late afternoon/ early evening. Is that possible?
I always try to accommodate the person’s needs, within reason.
