As a Gestalt counsellor, I believe that healing begins through awareness, genuine connection and the therapeutic relationship itself.

Together, we'll pay attention not only to your thoughts and feelings, but also to what is happening in your body, your relationships and your experience in the present moment.

Often, our bodies hold stories that words alone cannot express, and by listening to them with curiosity, creativity and compassion, we can begin to understand ourselves more deeply.

We can use different creative outlets to get in tune not just with our thoughts, but the feeling behind them and how they are affecting us now.

This can look like creative dialogue, using art materials, using the body and its movements (or lack of), or exploring imagery and the metaphorical.

My practice is informed by an appreciation of the connection between our emotional and physical experiences.

Difficult emotions, trauma and unresolved grief can often be felt in the body through tension, exhaustion, numbness or a sense of disconnection.

Rather than seeing these experiences as something to overcome, I invite us to become curious about what they might be communicating.

By bringing awareness to both mind and body, we can begin to reconnect with ourselves in ways that feel grounding, authentic and compassionate.
