Gestalt Counselling in Southwark, London
I draw upon Person-Centred, Psychodynamic and Gestalt approaches.
Have you ever considered what possibilities could unfold if you gave yourself permission to heal and grow? What it would feel like to give yourself the care and attention you so often give to others. Our early experiences often shape the way we see ourselves, others, and the world. At your own pace, we’ll gently explore how those experiences may still be influencing your life today. Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you because you aren’t broken. Instead, it’s about creating a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported—so you can start untangling the things holding you back and reconnect with a new version of yourself.

I draw on various psychotherapeutic disciplines, including Jungian, psychodynamic, Gestalt, and nervous-system focused approaches.
I believe one of the most important aspects of our work is the therapeutic relationship between client and practitioner. Working at your pace, I will endeavour to create a safe and caring environment.

I gave my Counselling business the name NuVista (new view/Horizon because it was born from my vision and indeed my own personal journey that counselling or talking therapy can give people a new view of life once they; with the therapists help have explored and untangled the issues that make them anxious, stressed, depressed, bereaved, feeling suicidal or simply struggling with day to day life, or their jobs, their relationships their family life, their sexuality or even historical events that have been rendered unconscious or hidden and never spoken about. For me the goal or vision was to have a new outlook on life - a New View.

Using elements of Psychodynamic therapy, Gestalt and Transpersonal psychology we will support our exploration of your concerns.
Perhaps you’ve felt stuck for a while, or have been feeling that something isn’t right but can’t quite identify what that is. You may be anxious, depressed, have low self-esteem. Maybe you are struggling in relationships, or finding it difficult getting your needs met? You may have often felt that you don’t belong, or that you’re not supposed to be doing the work you do. Perhaps you’d like to feel less frustrated, angry or alone? You may be experiencing grief, or struggling with addiction, you might have low libido, or want to explore your sexuality. It might be a family or historic issue you’d like to make sense of. I can help.

I use a variety of approaches, ranging from Psychodynamic, Person Centred, Gestalt, Transactional Analysis, Solution Focused, Existential therapy and Coaching techniques amongst others.
Currently mainly online as Face to Face availability is very limited .
You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck; either in your relationships or within yourself. Maybe you’re struggling with low confidence, caught in repeating patterns, or questioning where you belong. You might feel alone, even when you are surrounded.
These emotional struggles often have roots in childhood, past relationships, or the pressures you’re facing now. They can shape how you see yourself, how you connect with others, and how you respond to stress or change.

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.
