My Approach

I am trained in contemporary Gestalt therapy, a holistic and creative way of exploring different aspects of our current existence and potential. In Gestalt, we recognise and value all realms of human experience, working emotionally, cognitively, spiritually, and with embodied awareness. By attending to what is happening in the therapeutic encounter, we build a felt sense of what is vital in the here-and-now, and may have resonance for other relationships.
I believe deeply in the potential of each individual to heal and grow, and through my work I accompany you on your journey to develop and realise that potential. I offer a compassionate and respectful therapeutic relationship, in which we work collaboratively to explore how your life and relationships are shaped by past experiences and patterns, and support you to become more fully and creatively alive. Through expanding awareness of how we think, feel and act in the world, we can move towards fully inhabiting our choices and begin to challenge our fixed patterns and habits, which may no longer serve us. This approach offers a holistic and creative way of exploring different aspects of our current existence and potential, broadening the possibilities for how we relate to ourselves and others, and enabling the exploration of new avenues for growth and change.
We all face times in our lives when we need extra support, and I enjoy working with people experiencing a wide range of issues and difficulties.

About Me

I offer Gestalt Therapy both online and face-to-face through my private practice, based in central Scotland. Since completing my Gestalt Therapy training in 2017, I have developed my clinical experience working with women’s organisations in the voluntary sector, as well as with students in a higher education setting. My relationship with my clients is very important and I aim to make every client feel safe, respected and valued, with a commitment to confidentiality and appreciation of your autonomy. I offer a flexible approach tailored to the individual, incorporating levels of support and challenge appropriate to your point in the journey.
Please see my website for full details about my background, training and how I work. You are welcome to get in touch if you would like an initial session with me to explore whether we might be able to work together. I have a particular interest in nature-based therapy, and welcome enquiries from individuals interested in exploring this option.
