You are the expert on your life, and my role is to help you make sense of the things you feel, the stories you carry, the psychological obstacles you face, and the habitual ways you relate to yourself, others and the world around you.

 

Awareness is a core element of Gestalt therapy. By exploring your life more deeply, we can gain a clearer understanding of what might be holding you back from moving forward. I believe that every thought, feeling, sensation, and behaviour serves a purpose—none of which are inherently "bad" or shameful. Together, we can explore how these patterns developed, the roles they once played, and whether they continue to serve you in the present.

​

My therapeutic work is relational and body-oriented.   I believe that we can't fully heal and grow just by changing our thinking - although thinking is important, too.   Therefore, as well as traditional talk therapy, I integrate body and breath awareness techniques and compassion-focused practices with traditional talking therapy methods. I also use creative ways of working, for example, through art and writing.

​​

 I have found my approach works especially well with people who:

 

• Are pretty self-aware but get stuck in their head

 

• Feel anxious and get stuck in patterns, stories and ‘overthinking’

 

• Are grieving or facing a life-limiting illness

 

• May be confronting spiritual or religious problems or crises

 

• Feel like they may be at a crossroads in their life and want to explore the next step

 

• Are dealing with trauma, depression, shame or anxiety and don’t know where to turn.

​​

• Are looking for an engaging, dynamic approach to therapy that focuses on the "here and now."​
