Profile
I work with individuals, couples and groups of all ages who bring a broad range of issues by using gentle yet powerful techniques that help clients discover healthy strategies for coping. I see counselling and therapeutic work as a collaborative process in which the client brings her or his experiences in both a conscious and an unconscious way and I bring my awareness, my experience and my respectful curiosity.
I use a broadly humanistic approach developed principally from two sources, Gestalt and Body Process Psychotherapy.
Gestalt Therapy, is an existential, experiential therapy and centres on the individual's experience in the here and now, the therapist-client relationship, the contexts in which these things take place, and the self-regulating adjustments people make as a result of the situation. Gestalt Therapy is holistic and emphasises personal responsibility.
Body Process Psychotherapy is based on the work of Reich, Pierrakos and Lowen among others. It works on the principle that our experiences are captured in the character of our bodies as we go through our lives. In becoming aware of these character structures a person can begin to release trapped energies and harness those energies for use in more productive ways such as creativity and self development.
