About me
I have been a Gestalt Psychotherapist since 2019 and I work with adult individuals and couples. Issues addressed include anxiety, trauma, loss of employment, difficult family dynamics, couples issues, exploring sexual orientation, living with ADHD, aging, infertility, parenting issues.
I have a compassionate and thoughtful presence and a natural inquisitiveness to understand root causes. I work in a non-judgemental way.
How I work
I believe in therapy as a joint venture, where we work together to increase awareness about what is troubling you. Through this process, we can understand underlying issues and how these may affect your behaviour and thinking. This in turn enables you to change unwanted patterns and make better informed decisions in the future. Our main focus is your day-to-day 'here and now' experience of the issue.
I might suggest small experiments, ask how you feel in your body, use metaphors and images. I am flexible and am open to new ideas too.
Next steps
Email me for available times this week for a free 15 min call by zoom or phone; see if I am the right fit for you.
If you decide to go ahead, you can book an initial session to explore in more depth what is happening in your life at this moment.
After a couple of days reflection, we’d decide if we would start weekly sessions.
Please feel free to contact me byemail to ask any questions. I look forward to hearing from you.

UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.

Therapy works best on a weekly basis at the same time, in the same place. But where this isn't possible e.g. for people who have ad hoc working schedules, I will try to offer flexibility.
Further information
I work from a large Victorian building in Ealing with well decorated comfortable rooms.
Concessions are available for students and unemployed individuals.
