With Deva Manley

Mindfulness-Based Core-Process Psychotherapy

I believe in the profound capacity for wholeness that exists within each of us. My approach integrates traditional psychotherapeutic methods with the ancient wisdom of the east, creating a safe and relaxed space for transformation and growth.

Drawing from yogic and tantric traditions, I work with the understanding that true healing happens when we honour both the mind and the body's innate wisdom.

Methodology

Integrative approaches that honor your whole being

Mindfulness
based

What is it like to be you Right Now?
Mindfulness is our ability to drop into the felt sense of this moment. All we know of reality is what we perceive through the five senses, in combination with thoughts, emotions, imaginal realms and subtle senses. When we rest our awareness within; into what is truly alive in our systems, we have the opportunity to heal.

Core process psychotherapy

Core Process Psychotherapy is a person-centred modality that integrates modern Western psychological principles, particularly from the psychodynamic approach, with Buddhist teachings. It explores how early experiences and unconscious processes influence present feelings and behaviours, while also encouraging awareness, compassion, and presence. My primary focus is on creating a safe, supportive space where clients feel able to relax and openly explore their inner worlds.

Transpersonal psychotherapy

The transpersonal aspect of my work is informed by years of spiritual study and practice; both Classical 'Hindu' Yoga and Tantra and Buddhist as well as non-denominational spiritual traditions. Transpersonal psychotherapy reaches beyond the personal, individual self to explore higher states of consciousness, the search for meaning and the depths of Being itself.

What to Expect

01 Initial Consultation

We begin with a gentle exploration of what brings you here and what you hope to achieve with a free 45 minute meeting.

02 Creating Safety

Together we establish a container of trust and safety for your ongoing therapeutic journey.

03 Six Week Review

After six weeks of sessions, we will have a check-in to reflect on how we are both experiencing the work and to discuss whether you would like to continue on an ongoing basis.

04 Being with the Process

With relational safety and coherence as our foundation, deeper processes begin to emerge naturally, allowing unconscious, somatic, and transpersonal material to come into awareness.

In-Person and online available.
