About me
I am a psychotherapeutic counsellor working with the gestalt approach. I work in a relational, embodied and experimental way. That means I bring myself in sometimes in order to support new awareness in you, to break old patterns and be more authentic. I will help you learn to shift your physiology to help regulate yourself, expand your range of possibilities and set boundaries, as well as discovering your own inner resources.
I believe that people are their own best experts and I see my role as supporting clients to discover themselves rather than pushing them towards predefined notions of health or success.
I have a passion working with men on a range of issues including relationship problems, addictions, low self esteem, shame, difficulty being vulnerable or asking for help and OCD.
I also enjoy working with women who identify as people pleasers, who are afraid of conflict and confrontation, with a history of anxiety, poor boundaries, avoidance, shutting down and who take on too much responsibility.
I am interested in clients whose lives involve polyamory, conscious sexuality and unconventional values/ practices.
I work in Canterbury in a designated therapy room in the garden and also work at the Awareness Centre, Clapham.
