About Gestalt
Psychotherapy
If you are struggling, feeling stuck or finding yourself repeating patterns that no longer seem to work, therapy offers opportunity to pause, reflect and make sense of your experience in a different way.
You don't need to arrive knowing exactly what is wrong or how to change it. Therapy isn't about analysing you or trying to "fix" you. Instead, together we’ll create a space to explore your experience with curiosity, compassion and honesty, allowing change to emerge naturally and at a pace
that feels right for you.
My approach
My approach is grounded in Gestalt psychotherapy, which means I am interested in you as a whole person rather than only the difficulties that have brought you to therapy. Together, we may become curious about your thoughts, emotions, relationships, what you notice in your body, and your present-moment experience. Often our bodies hold important information that words alone cannot fully express, opening up new possibilities for understanding and change.If it feels helpful, we can also draw upon creative or embodied ways of working, including art materials, objects, movement or body work. Or you may simply prefer to sit and talk. Together, we'll find the approach that best supports you.
My role is to both support and gently challenge you in navigating the divide between where you are now and where you want to be. As we explore your experience together, you may begin to understand how familiar patterns developed and why they have stayed with you. As your awareness grows, so too can your ability to make different choices, respond in new ways and build more fulfilling relationships with yourself and others.
