My Approach

I am a gestalt therapist, and often get asked what that is. We will begin by starting exactly where you are. Even if you don't even know where that is. Your current experience is all you have, so we will begin there, and know that the rest will unfold from there. Your experience is unique.

About Me

Life can be messy and murky, and much as we might wish it, there isn't a single simple answer. We’re all shaped by the world around us—and we shape it in return.

My path into psychotherapy began after many years in financial services, which isn’t as unrelated as it might appear. In both careers, my focus has always been on what happens between people, and on valuing who we are and how we relate—not just what we do—as the best starting point. Gestalt was a very deliberate choice; it gave me a language and a form of expression for my way of seeing and being in the world.
I work in private practice, as a therapist and supervisor, and 1 day per week I work with an organisation supporting families and young people. In 2021, I co-founded The Listening Collective, where these threads of my work come together.

Creativity is at the heart of my practice. As Nancy Amendt-Lyon puts it: “Creativity helps us come in the back door and take ourselves by surprise.” Sometimes words are elusive and our expression needs a different form.
