My Approach

I’m a relational Gestalt therapist which means that you and I will explore how you’re relating to the world and the people in it, in the here and now of the therapy room.

What transpires between us in the room is usually a mirror for your relational patterns outside in your life. For me relationship is at the heart of Gestalt therapy, and it’s my goal to create a safe enough space for you to speak to me about your wants and needs, your longings and despair, and to be witnessed just as you are without judgement. At the same time, I will work with you on patterns of relating that may no longer be serving you.

I believe your context shapes who you are. Your life history, events you’ve experienced, and your current circumstances all feed into the way you experience the world and yourself. You might have adapted necessary coping strategies for all that has come your way and continues to come your way, and therapy can be a space to explore these.

If you’re feeling stuck, perhaps your strategies and habits for coping with the world are in need of an update.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, perhaps you need a bit more support to cope in your unique way, without succumbing to the norms of society, your family, or your culture.

If you’re feeling angry, perhaps you need to grieve that certain experiences actually happened to you, and might still be happening to you, and have impacted your life, and what a profound loss and injustice that is.

The way that I work is with the body, because it is through your senses that you experience your life. I’ll encourage you to become aware of your embodied sensations and feelings in order to understand, and experience, what certain thoughts and emotions feel like for you. By attending to what is actually happening in you - not what you think should be happening, or what you wish was happening instead - you will be attending to your reality of being alive.

From this place, choice becomes possible.

Once you become aware of what’s happening for you, you can decide whether you want more or less of your experience. You can become empowered by your own agency.

Reaching out can be scary, uncomfortable, new, and filled with hope. It’s no small thing to ask for help. It’s no small thing to be vulnerable. Yet to me, it is one of the greatest gifts of being human - to be witnessed in all my shaky vulnerability; to witness you in all of yours.

You don’t have to do any of this work alone, I’m ready when you are.
