Profile

I am a registered Gestalt Psychotherapist with the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and a Senior Accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy(BACP). I supervise Counsellors and Psychotherapists in practice and have trained in Supervision at the London Gestalt Centre.
I have run a private Psychotherapy and Counselling practice for the last 18 years offering both short and long term work. My training and experience enable me to work with clients presenting with a broad range of problems and difficulties including mood disorders such as depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self esteem, eating problems, feelings of loss, identity crisis, and trauma. However,rather than defining a person solely by their presenting problems, I am interested in exploring with them their way of being in the world and their motivation and commitment to change .

I became interested in Counselling and Psychotherapy when I worked in the NHS as a Mental Health Nurse between 1979-1992. During this time I completed training in Counselling and Family therapy. I later chose to train as a Gestalt Psychotherapist in order to be able to offer talking therapy to clients with more complex problems and to work at greater depth. I still maintain a strong commitment and interest in working with clients with mental health issues as well as less deep seated issues where short term work is often more appropriate .
Gestalt Psychotherapy is an approach which respects and is interested in the individual's way of being in the world. The relationship between the client and therapist is central to the therapeutic process .Within it, I endeavour to create a climate of safety,support and challenge from which the client can explore their difficulties and become more aware of their patterns and ways in which they may be interrupting or blocking the flow of their life . From this place I believe new choices and possibilities for change emerge . Gestalt psychotherapy works with the whole person , their thoughts feelings and behaviour.

Please contact me by phone or e-mail if you would like to arrange a free half hour initial meeting. I am happy to answer any questions you may have before we meet.
