My clients often feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected—from themselves or others. They may be navigating anxiety, low self-esteem, identity questions, or life transitions, and are looking for a space where they can feel understood and accepted. I offer a warm, collaborative, and flexible approach, tailoring therapy to each person. Together, we work to help you reconnect with who you are, build self-acceptance, and move forward in a way that feels right for you.

Life can feel overwhelming, uncertain, or simply “okay” — yet deep down, many sense it could be better. Clients often come seeking relief from stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, or bereavement/grief, or to navigate transitions such as relationships, parenting, retirement, or loss. Others want to strengthen communication, repair or deepen connections, or explore echoes of childhood experiences that still shape adult life. Counselling offers a safe space to reflect, recalibrate, and reconnect — helping you build resilience, find clarity, and move towards greater fulfilment and self‑understanding.

Is something just not quite right in your life? Is it something you might really need to talk about to someone objective to you in your life? Living with mental distress can be difficult. While the topic of mental health and the importance of speaking up is becoming normalised, stigma still exists and it can make it difficult to know where to turn for support. If you're not comfortable talking to friends or family, you may want to speak confidentially to a professional — and nowadays, this can be done privately from your own home interactively online through Zoom.

Therapy offers a calm space to make sense of what feels heavy. My clients come to me with anxiety, low mood, stress, trauma, relationship struggles, or simply a sense that something isn’t right. I help them slow down, understand their emotions, and find steadier ground.

You may have spent years appearing to cope whilst struggling with anxiety, low self-worth, people-pleasing, emotional overwhelm or relationship difficulties. Perhaps you find yourself repeating the same patterns, struggling to set boundaries, feeling responsible for others, or constantly questioning yourself. These difficulties often have roots in earlier attachment experiences, trauma, or relationships where you did not feel safe, seen or valued.

Sometimes trying to navigate through life alone can be confusing, and speaking to friends and family can often be too difficult. Talking to a neutral counsellor can provide you with the support you need. I have worked as a counsellor with Cruse Bereavement, helped navigate suicidal ideation in Pips, and completed Relate training to help with relationship difficulties and better understanding of emotions and old relational patterns. I am an integrative therapist and a member of BACP.

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.
