About me

I am a Gestalt Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, registered with UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and accredited by Gestalt Psychotherapy & Training Institute (GPTI). I offer therapeutic work for adult individuals, young people (18-25 years), couples and pairs (adult family members, friends, colleagues etc.).

Gestalt is a holistic (wholistic) and existential approach to understanding our being in the world and the difficulties that emerge for us, periodically and chronically. I focus on the relational aspects of our lived experience and place importance on the existential tenets such as individual responsibility, personal freedom, and life meaning in particular.

I have experience working with a variety of mental health and life difficulties, which in my observation often link to certain particular interpersonal struggles or major life events. Coming to terms with 'what is' can present a challenge when it differs greatly from what we came to expect from life.

To begin, I offer a 20-minute phone call appointment to mutually evaluate if we can book the initial therapeutic session. In line with the codes and ethics of my accreditation, I am supported by regular supervision and engage in ongoing training. I practice inclusion and welcome diversity.
