Reaching out for therapy can feel difficult, especially when you have been carrying things quietly for a long time or are unsure where to begin. Many people come when they feel overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally stuck, affected by relationships, loss, low confidence or ongoing stress, and simply want a safe space to think clearly, feel understood and make sense of what they are experiencing

Whatever brings you here, it can be the start of meaningful change. Therapy isn't only for times of crisis. Our life experiences shape the way we feel, relate and move through the world; we don’t always realise the patterns of behaviour we have developed to survive. In therapy, you may wish to explore these long-held beliefs, understanding their origins and assessing their relevance today.

Are you finding it hard to cope, feeling anxious, overwhelmed or burnt out. Or do you have a sense of being stuck? Perhaps life has changed somehow, leaving you feeling lost, lonely, or managing a lot for the people around you, but quietly struggling yourself. I work with adults and young people dealing with anxiety, ADHD, autism, trauma, bereavement, chronic illness, and the aftermath of sexual abuse. I also support people who are caring for a neurodivergent child or young person with mental health challenges, or an ageing parent — demanding roles that can quietly erode your confidence, wellbeing and sense of self over time.

My integrative approach draws on psychodynamic, Gestalt and relational models, shaped by the therapeutic relationship and creative processes.
Something feels harder than it should and you might not even have the words for it yet. Maybe you're overwhelmed, anxious, or carrying grief you can't quite name. Perhaps becoming a parent has brought unexpected emotions to the surface. Or you're in the middle of a life transition that's left you feeling lost. I offer warm, relational psychotherapy tailored entirely to you, a space to slow down, make sense of what's happening and feel less alone with it.

My approach is informed by Gestalt therapy, helping you develop greater awareness of yourself, your relationships and the patterns that may be keeping you stuck.
Life can sometimes leave us feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected or unsure of where to turn. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, low self-esteem, shame, relationship difficulties, loss and bereavement, addiction and recovery, trauma, men’s issues and major life transitions. Whether you’re facing a specific challenge or simply feel that something needs to change, together we can create a warm, supportive and non-judgemental space where you feel heard, understood and able to explore whatever is troubling you. I believe that when people feel safe, accepted and genuinely listened to, meaningful change becomes possible.

I offer a confidential non- judgemental space where you can talk about what is concerning you. You may come because you have issues related to anxiety, stress, sadness, low self esteem or anger. You may have deep feelings of disappointment with yourself, and others, or feelings of pointlessness, conflict within relationships. You may be struggling with a personal crisis or life event and would like to talk through with someone who is outside your friendship or family group. I listen to what is concerning you and help you reflect and explore these issues from various angles so that you find a clearer way forward.

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.
