Everyone can benefit from support at times.
I’m a relational Gestalt psychotherapist. My approach to therapy is that healing and change come through support and awareness. Life is full of challenges and difficulties that can leave us feeling hurt, lonely, or unable to move on. I specialise in helping clients navigate these unresolved situations and the meaning they hold for them.
My approach begins with an understanding that we live our lives in relationships. How we make sense of the world is through the relationships and situations we encounter, including the relationship we have with ourselves.
We often learn to build ourselves up to compensate for the pain we’ve experienced. However, sometimes our ways of dealing with situations become fixed, leading to beliefs about ourselves and others that get in the way of us being seen, understood and the pursuit of our goals. And sometimes, we get in our own way. We don’t always notice this because we adapt to what life throws our way. I provide a supportive space to look at how you may have learned to adapt and how you may have become accustomed to responding to people and situations in ways that no longer serve you.
I offer a safe, non-judgmental environment to explore what’s going on for you and try out new ways of being, including self-support, acknowledging needs, and asking for what you may need.
I have a holistic approach, which means working with all parts of your experience; including thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations and overall sense of life. I will also support you to become more aware of your own process – how you respond to people and situations with a focus on your immediate thoughts, feelings and behaviour.
I am experienced in working with anxiety, addictions, depression, shame, relationship and family issues, setting boundaries, identity concerns, life changes, bereavement, trauma, anger, critical thoughts as well as feeling lonely or isolated.
About me and my therapy practice
I currently offer face to face and online therapy in central London from a practice based in Clapham. The consulting room is welcoming, comfortable and accessible.
Inclusion and Relationship Diversity
I am sensitive to experiences of inequality and exclusion, supporting people from diverse backgrounds, including black, Asian, and LGBT communities, as well as neurodiverse individuals. I also hold an MA in Communities, Organisations and Social Change, and my extensive experience in these areas informs my work as a psychotherapist.
My first session
I offer a reduced rate initial session. In our first session we will explore the issues you would like to focus on in therapy. I will take your details, some background information and let you know what you can expect as we work together.
