Are you feeling trapped in patterns of behaviour that made sense in the past but hold you back now? Perhaps you're constantly reliving traumatic experiences in your mind or body, or feeling shame, self-criticism, anger or anxiety that you can't seem to change. Together we'll notice the feelings, beliefs, sensations and memories that show up for you in each moment, and find ways you can respond to these feelings that leave you feeling calm, self-compassionate and more resolved. If talking hasn't changed the difficulties you're experiencing, or your body feels stuck in past experiences, this way of working might be a good fit for you.
You might want therapy to heal from trauma you've experienced; explore any topics that feel important to you - such as identity, work, sex, religion, food, parenting, relationships, neurodivergence, physical health, or money - build feelings of safety and self-acceptance; or explore uncertainties or hopes for the future.
I think of therapy as a space for you to feel heard, make sense of your past experiences, and build self-compassion, self-knowledge, and the skills needed to live in greater alignment with your needs and desires.

While I draw on a number of modalities, I completed my training on a gestalt course. Gestalt therapy emphasises curiosity about what's happening in the present moment, within you and between us. I'm also trained in Internal Family Systems, which is a method of developing a compassionate and curious relationship with all parts of yourself.
