About me and my therapy practice
Hello, I am Otter - a Gestalt Counselling Therapist offering In-Person sessions in Bedford, St Albans, and online
Have you been feeling lost or stuck, anxious, depressed, or stressed?
Do you feel alone, like nobody really ‘gets’ you, or that you don’t ‘fit-in’?
Have you been struggling with decision-making, having difficulty trying to change unhelpful patterns / behaviours, or wondering why similar challenges arise in your friendships & relationships, time after time?
If these experiences resonate or you are looking for an accepting, warm, validating, and secure space in which to connect, explore your current challenges, past experiences, sense of self, or identity - get in touch for an initial appointment
Practice description
Some of my areas of experience and interest:
Self-esteem & confidence
Identity & belonging
Gender, sexuality & relationship identities and expressions
Loss, bereavement & grief
Addiction, Substance Use, & Sobriety
Stress, anxiety & depression
Trauma & PTSD
Neurodiversity
Mental health experiences & labels
Kink, Sexual Dynamics, & Sex-Work
Amongst other life circumstances...
My approach is warm, connected, and non-judgemental - tailored to you with no agenda or time limitation - we will work together at a pace that suits you
I chose the Gestalt modality, specifically due to it’s open-ended and holistic approach
The philosophy behind the approach is that we are more than merely the sum of our parts, and are best understood when considered in our entirety - mind, body, spirit, emotions & experiences
Through raising our awareness in each of these areas, we can come to understand our subconscious patterns and processes and effect meaningful change in our lives
My first session
Once you get in touch I will contact you to arrange a brief, complementary, initial appointment - online - at which you can share what brings you, we can establish whether we feel that we are 'a good fit’, and can explore how I may be able to help
If we decide to continue together, I will send out to you my Client Agreement, along with a brief assessment form for you to complete, and we will arrange our first session - at which we can discuss in further detail your circumstances and requirements
Thereafter, we will meet weekly at a regular time-slot - either in-person or online - for a full 60 minute session
There are no imposed time-limits on our work together - your therapeutic journey will be as individual as you are - and we can review how you feel things are going regularly
Types of therapy
Gestalt, Humanistic, Integrative, Phenomenological
Clients I work with
Adults, Trainees
How I deliver therapy
Long term sessions, Long-term face-to-face work, Online therapy, Short term sessions, Short-term face-to-face work
