My Approach

My approach is humanistic and integrative, and my style is embodied, relational and creative. Alongside Gestalt, I also draw from disciplines like Psychodynamic, Existential, Neuroscience, Somatic and Sensorimotor therapies to meet and support the different situations my clients present. I understand the significance of the mind-body connection in healing and how important the therapeutic relationship is for nourishing the safety necessary for this to happen. I am especially focussed on using embodiment and creative methods in a whole systems approach to therapy; issues of culture and difference; and the role of therapy in the service of social justice and equality. I am trauma-informed, attachment-focused, and deeply committed to antiracist, anti-oppressive practice. I am an ally and an LGBTQA+ and neurodivergent-affirming therapist.

I support clients facing a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, work-related stress, relationship difficulties, sexuality issues, body image and eating disorders as well as bereavement/loss.

About Me

I’m a Gestalt therapist and I split my practice between working one-to-one with individuals and doing relationship therapy with romantic partners (spanning the Gender, Sexuality and Relationship diversity (GSRD) spectrum), as well as with siblings/family members, friends, and co-founders/work colleagues. I also co- facilitate personal development groups for The Centre for Better Health in Hackney, and I am currently working with cultural change agency Senseia on the roll-out of an antiracism programme for Cornwall and Devon Police.

With a background in factual and documentary filmmaking, I have always been captivated by the power of human stories to inspire and connect us. As a therapist, I view every person’s story as a potent force for self-discovery and self-renewal. By working creatively and collaboratively with you, I hope to breathe fresh life into your outdated narratives and turn dramatic life moments into important opportunities for meaning-making and personal growth.

Special Interests

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.

I blend Gestalt’s phenomenological and dialogical methods with a sharp focus on systemic and attachment dynamics. I work with those in a range of relationship configurations experiencing difficulty, including romantic/sexual partnerships (spanning the GSRD spectrum), family members, co-founders and business/work relationships and friendships. My role is to support partners to increase awareness and understanding of one another in their present-moment experiences. By becoming a third-party in these dynamics, I help couples and those in other relationship arrangements to identify communication patterns, while exploring their emotions, so that new strategies for connection, empathy and understanding can be reached. Diversity, intercultural and intersectional understandings in relationship strongly underpin my approach.
I hold a Gestalt Certificate in Couples and Relationship Therapy, which means I blend Gestalt’s phenomenological and dialogical methods with a sharp focus on systemic and attachment dynamics.

Diversity, intercultural and intersectional understandings in relationship strongly underpin my approach.
I specialise in working with individuals who have endured various forms of trauma, including childhood sexual abuse, emotional neglect, domestic abuse, bullying, psychological abuse, including gaslighting and narcissistic abuse, as well as developmental, racial, and transgenerational trauma. You may identify as a survivor or an HSP (highly sensitive person) who experiences overwhelming feelings more acutely than others. Perhaps you are struggling with panic attacks, chronic pain, intrusive and/or suicidal thoughts, flashbacks, and nightmares. Maybe you have a diagnosis of bi-bolar disorder, borderline personality disorder (BPD/EUPD), generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), depression, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), PTSD or seasonal affective disorder (SAD). I am committed to helping you navigate the bewildering effects of trauma and to providing the tools necessary to regulate your nervous system. Being able to empathise and truly grasp the predicament of individuals without judgment is at the very core of what I do.
