James Scurry

I bring a fusion of eastern and western ways of working with the mind and body to my clients, using a therapeutic approach called Core Process Psychotherapy. This mindfulness-based model of psychotherapy has its roots in ancient Buddhist teachings. I hold a compassionate, inclusive and non-judgmental therapeutic space and an expanded perspective of mental health which helps my clients move beyond notions of illnesses and disorders, and to cultivate a connection to their inherent health. I have witnessed how in a safe and collaborative therapeutic relationship, even the most difficult of our experiences in life can become a catalyst for deep personal and spiritual growth. Core Process Psychotherapy is a gentle and compassionate body-based approach that involves moving beyond our thoughts and the busyness of our mind, and reconnecting to the wisdom within our bodies. I have a particular interest in helping clients experiencing anxiety, dissociation, difficulties with sleep, childhood trauma, sexual abuse and spiritual crises.
