I am a trainee Gestalt Psychotherapist (PG Dip) working towards UKCP accreditation.
I place great importance on creating a safe and confidential space for us to work together. I understand it can be a challenge to voice our most difficult or uncomfortable feelings and thoughts. So together we’ll pay close attention to what supports you to build trust and express yourself in a way that begins to make sense of your experiences.
I hold a non-judgemental and accepting attitude and will work with what you choose to bring to each session, at your own pace. I value being real and creating an environment where you have permission to use the session as you need and where all parts of you are welcome.
My background as a youth and community worker has laid a solid foundation for how I understand and relate to the world around me. Over the last ten years much of my work in the community has focused on meeting people wherever they are and finding empowering ways to access more support and choice in their lives.
Often in life we have needed to find ways to cope. These strategies serve us well but can become fixed responses or held beliefs that no longer fit and keep us stuck. Together we can experiment with finding new ways of being with ourselves and others, which are more satisfying and freeing.
I enjoy working creatively to help raise awareness and learn more about our unconscious processes; using resources such as art materials and sand tray. Ultimately, I am passionate about supporting you to value, discover and become more authentically ‘you’.
I work with children, young people and adults.
My fee is £30 for a 50 minute session.
