Welcome to my practice

I am warm, easy to talk to and an empathic counsellor who takes care to establish an authentic and trusting relationship with my clients from day one.

I believe everyone’s experience is unique and important and I will provide you with a safe space and a sense of being held and understood, so that you become increasingly able to explore your difficult feelings and any possible burdens and can finally make sense of any emotional suffering you are experiencing.

Totally committed to you, my clients, I strive for your growth and empowerment, and to bring about long-lasting improvements to your well-being.

As a Gestalt Therapist I incorporate into my work elements of Mindfulness and breathing techniques to find the ways of regulating anxiety which work best for you

In my practice I draw on Attachment-based approaches and on the latest research in the field of neuroscience, that means I am able to help you understand yourself from many different perspectives including looking at your patterns of attachment to important people in your past and present life, and what neuroscience and the field of interpersonal neurobiology is able to tell us about how our brains are wired for both survival and relationships.

I support clients in long-term open-ended practice and in short-term time-limited therapy, and have considerable experience helping clients dealing with depression, low mood, sense of loss, family or relationship problems, anxiety, sex, gender and sexuality issues, self-harm, concerns around work and career, self-esteem and self-worth issues.

With a background in education, acting and marketing & PR, I can easily relate to issues with the creative professions such as managing stress and self-worth.

I also offer supervision to trainees as well as experienced therapists, following mainly the seven-eyes model and believing in a collaborative, equalising space to foster professional and personal growth..
