About me and my therapy practice

I work in a humanistic, personal-centred approach, which means the focus is entirely on you. I offer thoughtful, unhurried and non-judgemental therapy with space for you to begin to understand how your lived experiences have shaped the way you feel today.

My background in Gestalt therapy means sessions are collaborative, and can be creative - led by what you bring. There is no agenda, other than helping you feel more like yourself.

Practice description

I am fully qualified Gestalt therapist, with a MSc in Psychology. As a member of BACP I work to their ethical framework and adhere to guidelines around supervision and my own continuing professional development (CPD).

I strongly believe that the therapeutic relationship is built on trust, honesty and respect; with strong values of confidentiality and empathy for your lived experiences.

I believe that the lived history: the relationships, experiences and moments in life, that shape who we become - hold enormous insight into how you may feel in the here and now.

Together, we can begin to understand those connections and gently shift the patterns that no longer serve you.

My first session

It’s important for you to feel comfortable with your therapist. Your first session will last around 20 minutes and will be free of charge.

Your first session will give you space to talk about what brings you to therapy, and for us to talk about how we can work together. It will give you the chance to see what therapy sessions with me would be like, and is a gentle introduction to how I work. During this first session, I will explain how I work and what the process will be.
