I work from a relational 'Gestalt' perspective. Gestalt does not preach an ultimate “way to be healthy”, rather, seeing ‘dysfunctional’ elements of our patterns in life as ‘creative adjustments’ that have developed for a good reason. Through building a sense of curiosity and awareness of our unique ways of being in the world / being in relationships with others, we can broaden our choices around these ways of being. Then we can begin to subtly shift and change the patterns that are no longer working for us.
Hello, my name is Leonie, and I am a psychotherapist. I provide a warm, empathetic space for clients to process what is happening and has happened in their lives.
I am non-judgemental and am always keen to hear exactly what clients hope for in therapy.
I help people with many different struggles. Some people are struggling with depression and /or anxiety, some have had traumatic experiences, a bereavement, or are struggling in their relationships. Others may not identify with having mental health struggles at all but may feel a bit ‘stuck’, perhaps unhappy at work or unsure about the direction of their life. I suppose the common thread between all the people I work with is that each person is hoping for some kind of change.
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.
