I have worked with clients for over 10 years and hold a Masters in Gestalt Psychotherapy from Metanoia Institute, London. I am a UKCP and BACP member abiding by their code of ethics. 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 or sexuality, low self-esteem, mood and confidence, trauma, anger issues, relationship difficulties, stress, creative block and lack of motivation. With a background in the arts, I have a particular interest in working creatively and experientially with clients, bringing experiences to life in the here and now and finding expression for what may not yet have words.
I identify as a queer, neurodivergent, cis-gender woman. 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. I have a particular interest in GRSD (gender, sex and relationship diversity) and am an active member of TACTT (therapists against conversion therapy), opposing transphobia in the therapy profession.
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. I have been in personal therapy for over 15 years and bring this breadth of experience to my client sessions.
