My main formal training was a rigorous five year program in Gestalt individual and group psychotherapy. I also hold a postgrad degree in psychology, and specialist training in couples therapy. Additionally, my work is informed by a continuing interest in existential, psychodynamic, and somatic approaches to therapy.
My approach includes intellectual engagement and deep curiosity to support understanding and clarity, alongside attunement to emotional, embodied, and contextual dynamics. I continue to be driven by a sense of exploration and belief in the value of expression, making each session with each client a creative collaboration. Perhaps most importantly, I offer a safe, consistent, sensitive, long term therapeutic relationship where all parts of you are welcome - including those parts that may feel hard to express elsewhere. My aim is not to pathologise or fix you, or enforce norms and taboos: rather, it gives me huge satisfaction to see people inhabiting their lives more fully in their own unique ways.
I am an experienced Gestalt psychotherapist and couple/relationship therapist. At the core of my work is a deep interest in relationships: how they shape us and how we carry them within us, creating patterns of connection and disconnection that may not be in conscious awareness. Whether it's the families we come from, the intergenerational experiences we've inherited, the different cultural contexts we inhabit, or the roles we take on with friends, partners, and colleagues, I believe illuminating our relational lives hold the key to understanding ourselves more fully and discovering new ways of being in the world.
I warmly welcome interested adults of all cultural and class backgrounds, and sexuality, gender, relationship, and kinship orientations, to get in touch and arrange an initial phone call to explore individual or couple/relationship therapy. Sessions are available face to face in South East London, and internationally online.
Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.
