About Me

I am a Relational Gestalt Psychotherapist and Supervisor, and an Associate Teaching Member at Scarborough Counselling and Psychotherapy Training Institute (SCPTI)

Gestalt Therapy was a very deliberate choice for me. I embrace the complexity of lived experience, and the false security that simple answers seem to provide.

My path into Gestalt Therapy 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.

I work in private practice, as a therapist and supervisor. I co-founded The Listening Collective in 2021, where these threads of my career come together in providing coaching and support for people in organisations at a deeply human level.

My Approach

I am a relational gestalt therapist, and often get asked what that is!

The 'relational' part is important to me, we are connected, to ourselves, to each other and to the world, and we are shaped and are shaping our world all the time. We will pay attention to your experience of yourself and your world.

Creativity is at 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.
