About my approach

I offer short-term counselling and long-term psychotherapy, tailored to your needs. Training in Gestalt means I work person to person, observing the present moment with curiosity. Unlike approaches which focus on the individual working through issues, the Gestalt approach encourages working together through your problems as a shared exploration.

My approach allows me to work fluidly with various issues, including; anxiety, depression, bereavement, identity, gender, sexuality, low self-esteem, mood and confidence, trauma, anger issues, relationship difficulties, stress, creative block and lack of motivation.

As an LGBTQIA + affirming psychotherapist, I emphasise a safe container; a non-judgmental and secure environment, where I hold space free of prejudice, racism or homophobia. I welcome diversity and strive for an inclusive practice.

There are many ways we can work together. Some people prefer to meet in person in my city centre office, others prefer to meet online. I can offer these separately or a hybrid mix of both to suit your needs. I also work outdoors in nature, which is individually designed to your specific needs and presenting issues. This is something we would discuss and plan together. When working outdoors, we are also working in co-creation with nature, a nervous system regulator. When working in collaboration with nature, many creative possibilities present to process experientially and somatically. This can provide an alternative approach, whilst remaining a safe container.

My practice is regulated, ensuring regular attendance of CPD’s, up to date knowledge and continued learning in my field of expertise, along with two Gestalt supervisors who support my clinical work.
