Do you feel weighed down by depression, anxiety, emptiness, or a loss of meaning? Do relationships leave you lonely, unfulfilled, or stuck in patterns of people-pleasing? Are you troubled by traumatic or painful memories?
As a relationally trained therapist, I help people build self-esteem, overcome anxiety, form more satisfying connections, and rediscover purpose. You may feel you’ve never truly belonged, or carry the wounds of childhood abuse, neglect, or bullying. You may live with an inner voice that’s often critical or unkind. Perhaps a sudden trauma, betrayal, or loss has shaken your life and left you questioning everything.

My ideal clients are often thoughtful, capable women who have spent years coping, adapting, and holding things together for others, sometimes at the cost of their own wellbeing. Many arrive feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or stuck in cycles of anxiety, burnout, or long-term stress. Some have been to therapy before and gained insight but found that lasting change was harder to maintain. They may understand their experiences intellectually, yet still feel stuck emotionally. Together we focus on slowing things down, rebuilding nervous system regulation, and creating sustainable ways to support wellbeing and recovery.

Gestalt Counsellors
What is gestalt therapy?
Gestalt therapy is based on the idea that to address unresolved negative feelings, emotions must be not only discussed but also actively expressed in the present moment. The term is from a German word meaning “whole,” and gestalt therapists believe that people should be considered whole entities made up of mind, body, and emotions. Gestalt sessions are rooted in the notion that a client’s total self must be discovered, explored, and confronted, so that they can take greater responsibility for themselves and their behaviour, learn to satisfy their own needs while still respecting the needs of others, and reconnect with feelings they might otherwise deny.
How does gestalt therapy work?
Gestalt therapy sessions do not just involve talking with a therapist. Clients may take part in role-playing, re-enactment, or artistic exercises like drawing and painting, with the goal of becoming more aware of negative thought patterns that limit happiness. One common gestalt exercise is “the empty chair,” in which a client sits across from an empty chair representing a partner, relative, boss, or a part of themselves—and, with the therapist’s encouragement, improvises a dialog with it. The intention is to bring the emotions raised by past conflicts into the present and work through them in the moment.
How long does gestalt therapy last?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for gestalt therapy; people who believe that they are making progress typically continue until they feel they’ve addressed the issues that had been holding them back. New patients should understand that it may take some time to become comfortable with gestalt exercises but once they do, they should expect sessions to extend for a number of months, typically spanning at least 12 sessions.
Does gestalt therapy work?
Gestalt therapy has generally been found to be as effective as other forms of talk therapy in helping people living with anxiety, depression, phobias, bipolar disorder, and substance use disorders, as well as helping individuals reduce conflict in relationships. Gestalt techniques, on their own or in combination with other therapies, can also be effective in managing physical ailments including ulcerative colitis, migraines, and back spasms. It should be noted that some people may have trouble adapting to gestalt therapy’s lack of formal structure or to a therapist’s close observations of their body language and emotions; others may struggle to commit to techniques that feel unnatural, like the empty chair exercise.
