Overview

Patricia Taddei is a psychotherapist offering Core Process Psychotherapy, a mindfulness‑based depth approach that engages the whole person — mind, body and spirit — to explore personal experience and the causes of emotional suffering. The website states she creates a safe, supportive space for clients to explore thoughts, feelings and concerns through awareness and empathic enquiry. Core Process Psychotherapy is described as presence‑centred and rooted in principles of mindfulness and psychology.

Sessions are available in person in Kelso in the Scottish Borders, online via Zoom and by phone. She offers both short‑term therapy (six weekly sessions) and longer‑term weekly therapy, and provides a free initial meeting to determine fit.

Best for

Patricia Taddei’s practice is suitable for adults seeking psychotherapy for emotional and psychological difficulties including anxiety, low self‑esteem, grief and relationship issues.

Approach

Core Process Psychotherapy is described as a presence‑centred, mindfulness‑based psychotherapeutic approach that invites mindful awareness and compassionate enquiry to explore what clients bring in sessions. Problems and difficulties are welcomed as opportunities for insight and greater clarity, and the therapist helps clients face what they tend to avoid or deny.

Sessions are typically one hour and usually take place weekly at the same time. Both short‑term therapy (six weekly sessions) and longer‑term weekly therapy are available. The quality of the relationship between client and therapist is emphasized.

Support

Support is offered through individual psychotherapy sessions tailored to what clients bring. The therapeutic space is described as safe and supportive. Clients are invited to contact by email with a description of their main issue.

The website notes boundaries regarding urgent support, advising clients to reach out to personal contacts or professional services if needed. Supervision is available for practising and trainee therapists.
