About me and my therapy practice
[Unfortunately I do not currently have any availability for new clients]
Hello, my name is Leonie, and I am a Psychotherapist. I provide a warm, empathetic space for clients to process what is happening and has happened in their lives.
I am non-judgemental and am always keen to hear exactly what clients hope for in therapy.
I work from a relational 'Gestalt' perspective. What drew me personally to Gestalt, was its holism. Gestalt does not preach an ultimate “way to be healthy”, rather, seeing ‘dysfunctional’ elements of our patterns in life as ‘creative adjustments’ that have developed for a good reason. Through building a sense of curiosity and awareness of our unique ways of being in the world / being in relationship with others, we can broaden our choices around these ways of being. Then we can begin to subtly shift and change the patterns that are no longer working for us.
I am a fully qualified, accredited, clinical psychotherapist, registered with BACP and UKCP. I initially trained as a psychotherapeutic counsellor, then later completed an MSc in Gestalt Psychotherapy at Metanoia Institute in London. I follow the ethical guidelines of BACP, UKCP and Metanoia Institute.
Practice description
I offer a free 20-minute introductory phone-call. This is a no obligations opportunity to talk together and see how we connect. You can tell me a bit about yourself, and I can talk a little about my approach - and you can ask any questions you may have.
I help people with many different struggles. Some people are struggling with depression and /or anxiety, some have had traumatic experiences, a bereavement, or are struggling in their relationships. Others may not identify with having mental health struggles at all, but may feel a bit ‘stuck’, perhaps unhappy at work or unsure about the direction of their life. I suppose the common thread between all people I work with is that each individual is hoping for some kind of change. Gestalt therapy can be a beautiful resource to expand your perspectives and find ways to incite shifts in your processes – these shifts are not always the ones that we have planned for, but they are usually welcome and exciting! In short – if there is something that is not working for you in your life, get in touch and we can go from there.
My first session
After an introductory phone call, you may decide to move forward with booking an intital assessment session. This would be 50 minutes long, and costs the same as ongoing weekly sessions. It is a chance for us to meet in person/online and explore in more depth what you are hoping for from therapy. Afterwards I'll invite you to reflect for a couple of days on whether you would like to move forward with weekly sessions.
