Carole Bradshaw is a UK trained and registered Core Process Psychotherapist with clients in Hong Kong, the UK and across the globe. Carole offers a safe space for you to be heard and acknowledged as you are. She helps you explore current personal challenges, which may range from navigating relationships and trauma to a general sense of dissatisfaction in your life.

To better understand and heal what is occurring in the present, Carole supports you to bring in, where relevant, past experiences, unconscious processes, early attachments, and relational patterns.

By bringing awareness to your history and your present, in the container of a safe, compassionate relationship, it becomes possible to recover and accept those parts of ourselves that may have been repressed. This allows movement towards healing of old wounds, shifting of unhelpful patterns and a reconnection with your authentic self.

Carole tailors her approach to your needs. Core process psychotherapy aids understanding of ourselves by exploring our early and current relationships, as well as looking at our felt, bodily experience, and transpersonal psychology: the spiritual part of us that extends beyond our conscious personality and self.

The spiritual aspect of Carole’s approach is nourished by the 20 years she spent immersed in yoga and Buddhist practise. She was called to yoga after experiencing existential dissatisfaction: even though she had a high powered, successful job, and all the ‘things’ that ‘should’ make you happy, she felt empty and dissatisfied.

This journey has given Carole an embodied sense of what it means to feel empty and seek meaning. Yoga helped bring some of the fragmented parts of herself home, answered the question of existential dissatisfaction and gave her a sense of inner peace. But the yoga alone could not meet her fully when she was suffering. Core process psychotherapy combined her spiritual learning with the grounded reality and emotional experience of what it means to be human.

While core process deeply acknowledges pain, it also allows space for expansion, meeting the richness of human experience with the ability to grow beyond what we feel defines us or what we feel trapped by.

As IMI’s executive and clinical director for counselling, psychology, and mental health care services, Carole is passionate about mental health education to the wider community. She leads with purpose with clients’ health and wellbeing at the heart of her decisions.

Carole is also a mother, who has lived and worked in Hong Kong, Thailand, and the UK. A warm and highly regarded core process psychotherapist, she is available for consultations online with clients in HK and globally, and in-person in the UK.
