I don't yet know what you might struggling with, or what is pulling you to this site to look for a therapist. But I hope that you might take up this invitation to spend sometime sitting together to see what we discover about that. 

I practice a type of therapy called Gestalt therapy in a way that is embodied and relational. 

This is what I mean by embodied: I practice in a way that holds that the body and mind are inseparable, so we need to pay attention to what is happening in your body in terms of sensation, movements and posture, as we sit together and explore your experience. 

This is what I mean by relational: We can learn a lot about how you relate to the world, by paying attention to how we relate to each other in the room. If it feels appropriate in the moment I may share with you how I am experiencing being with you, in case this tells us something useful. 

Finally, Gestalt therapy: This is a type of therapy that pays attention to how you are experiencing the world in the here and now. This might include your history, and your future, but with a focus on their impact on you in this moment. It encourages us to pay close attention to what is happening, and how we might be filtering or adapting our experience of the world around us, and our relating to it. 

My practice is open to whoever wants to come and work with me, and not limited to one particular community. However, my own experience of queerness makes me want to make it clear that I cam committed to making my practice is trans-affirming, queer-affirming, and anti-racist. 

As a former barrister and academic who has conducted research on legal professional life, I also have developed experience working with lawyers (both individually and in groups).
