When life changes, your nervous system, emotions, and identity are all impacted. As an experienced, ethical, and compassionate practitioner, I offer a gentle space for you to pause and process. Over time you will develop ways to reintegrate with a sturdier sense of self, belonging and direction.
I’m Gael, my pronouns are she/her, and I offer in-depth, high-quality, feelings-led therapy to those seeking long-term sustainable change. My work is empathic, ethical, and trauma-informed. I specialise in working with people experiencing profound life transitions including: parenthood, burnout, trauma, loss, and career change.
Sometimes, the things we bring to therapy can feel too big, confusing, or contradictory to make sense of with words. My way of working invites these things to be present in gentle ways. Over time, this can help you re-connect with lost fragments and feelings, and access relationships and rituals that sustain and inspire you.
I'd welcoming hearing from you. Tell me about yourself and about what you're looking for from counselling. We'll find a time to meet, and talk further about how I can help you.
