"Knowing yourself means knowing the Dreaming from which problems and symptoms arise. In that world, there is less pressure from human or social behaviour; you are closer to nature, to existence as it is."
Dr. Arnold Mindell founder of Process Oriented Psychology
"Conor has written an wondrous, awesome, almost poetic account mixing reality, dreaming and the dreambody nature of physical symptoms."

Making that initial step. Process Work interventions endeavour to transform the most difficult situations into creative solutions using a variety of tools and the most ancient wisdom - that of nature herself. If you require private therapy regarding a personal problem or relationship issue that concerns you, then please email conor.mcken@gmail.com or claremhill@btinternet.com. You will receive an initial free half hour session so that you and the therapist can discuss the problem together and how you both may proceed. See about the therapists.
ProcessWorkFocus is an affiliate of IAPOP - the International Association of Process Oriented Psychology. Process Oriented Psychology, or Process Work as it is sometimes known, was originally developed in the early 1970s by Dr. Arnold Mindell and colleagues. Mindell was a Jungian psychologist and physicist who was interested in how awareness within nature may hold all the answers to life's situations. As its name suggests, Process Work continues to evolve, develop and deepen according to nature as she reveals herself in underlying patterns and dynamics from moment to moment. The antecedents of Process Work are Jungian Psychology, modern physics, indigenous wisdom and Taoism. The therapists involved in ProcessWorkFocus are accredited in the Untied Kingdom by one of the national accrediting bodies: UKCP.
