My Approach

The Person coming for therapy is welcomed from the perspective of health and well-being, rather than illness and pathology which needs to be helped, “fixed” or corrected. Gertrude’s key area of interest has been the psychospiritual journey and how, in particular, we negotiate periods of transition and learning to relate to and include anxiety, as both a challenging part of the process and integral to a creative and dynamic life journey.
The focus is on the human ‘impulse towards wholeness’ with its longing and striving for a more authentic experience of self. Her research has shown that as this conscious connection to the authentic self becomes more integrated, the person experiences a call that extends beyond the personal to include a sense of co-creative connection to the wellbeing of the ‘greater whole’ – the local community, the ecological footprint and the interconnectedness of all life.
