About Us
Eastcott Barn caters for small numbers at a time and is run by Jennifer Ash.
Jennifer Ash MA - Core Process Psychotherapist and Retreat Facilitator.
The natural world and the beauty of the Blackdown Hills forms the backdrop and the resource of my work as a Core Process Psychotherapist . My early working life was in social work, until I left to raise my four children and run our smallholding here at Eastcott. In 1990 I returned to work in a general hospital and in 1993 commenced my professional training in Core Process Psychotherapy.
In recent years I have worked as an Approved Social Worker in a Community Mental Health Team, whilst also continuing my psychotherapeutic practice both privately and within the NHS.
Having now retired from my work in the statutory sector, I am able to focus my energies on individual work and on developing my long held dream of Creating a Retreat Centre.
Over the course of years I have taken part in various other trainings including
Group Therapy,
Past Life Regression,
Family Constellation work
Shamanism
and in May 2008 commenced a one year certified training in
Medical Qi Gong,
an aspect of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
I am an Accredited Core Process Psychotherapist, registered with the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy, which sets standards for psychotherapy in the UK.
