About me

 In my Gestalt therapy practice, I offer a supportive and holistic approach to healing, focusing on the 'here and now', and integrating mind, body and emotions. With a client-centred approach, I tailor my way of working to meet your unique needs and goals. Whether you’re struggling with past trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or simply yearning for greater self-awareness and clarity, I provide a nurturing and supportive environment, where you and I can explore your innermost thoughts and feelings, openly and without judgement. I am committed to supporting you every step of the way, cultivating resilience and fostering self-compassion, as we uncover hidden truths and familiar patterns. This journey will empower you to lead a more fulfilling and authentic life.  I look forward to hearing from you.
