I am an experienced Gestalt Psychotherapist working with individuals and couples in private practice. Over the years I have worked with a wide range of issues and am flexible and adaptable according to your particular need.
Whatever your starting point, therapy can help you to understand yourself and feel stronger in the face of life's challenges by building the sense of self. Problems may be current day or they may date further back to events in childhood, either can inform us of the way you function and where the issue lies.
My approach is client-centred, experiential and embodied. We start by conducting an empathic enquiry into your experience in the world. Through patiently making sense of your experiences we gradually piece together your story until you can gain a sense of who you are based on your authentic, feeling experience.
This creates a secure sense of self, so different to the false self that many people are forced to live by in the absence of anything better. Old defences and ways of coping can gradually fall away with the growth of the authentic self. Throughout this process I constantly call attention to your concurrent bodily experiences to connect body and mind.
