About me and my therapy practice

Do you ever find yourself overwhelmed by negative thoughts and feelings or feel stuck in unhealthy patterns of behaviour that you can’t break out of? Do you ever want to change your perspective on a situation but don’t know how to? 

If so, I can help you explore how and why you feel trapped by your habitual patterns of experiencing the world. And drawing on this awareness, I can support you in adopting new attitudes and behaviours more in tune with how you long to be.

One area in particular I work in is helping individuals and couples navigate the complexities of relationships, fostering authentic connections that are both meaningful and enduring. This applies to people who struggle both with being alone and isolated or who are in challenging relationships with friends, family or work colleagues. 

I also work a lot with people suffering from anxiety, depression, life purpose and problems associated with neurodivergence. 

In our work together, we will explore the roots of your meaning making and relational challenges and whether this stems from childhood experiences, ingrained habits, or unspoken fears. By better understanding how these patterns shape your thoughts, emotions, and actions, we can then create space for change.



Practice description

My background is in Gestalt therapy, a holistic form of treatment that engages not only your mind but your entire body and being with one overall aim. To raise your awareness of the world as you experience it. This might seem like an obvious thing but we often have trauma and unfinished business from the past that influences the meaning we make of our present experience. In these circumstances the goal of therapy is to shine a light on what unprocessed feelings might be affecting the way we look at the world and invite us to make new meaning of our reality. 

Where appropriate, I integrate somatic investigation and body therapy into sessions to help clients access deeper layers of self-awareness and healing. I encourage clients to explore how emotions and relational dynamics are stored and expressed in the body. This embodied approach allows us to move beyond purely cognitive insights and into a richer, more holistic understanding of ourselves and our relationships.

My first session

I offer a free Zoom consultation initially so that we can assess if we are a good fit for each other and what sort of arrangement to commit to. The purpose of this initial session is for me to get an idea of why you are seeking therapy and for you to ask me questions about how I envisage working together.
