My Approach

My approach is relational, embodied and grounded in Gestalt psychotherapy, with a trauma-informed awareness of how our experiences shape the ways we relate to ourselves and others. I offer a thoughtful, supportive space where we can explore what is happening in your life, at a pace that feels right for you.

In our work together, we pay attention not only to what you share in words, but also to your emotions, bodily responses, relationships and patterns of relating. We can explore how you may have learned to adapt, protect yourself or cope with difficult experiences, and how these ways of being may continue to affect you in the present.

I see therapy as a collaborative process grounded in curiosity, compassion and the therapeutic relationship itself. Rather than telling you who to be or what to do, I aim to support you in developing greater awareness, understanding your needs and reconnecting with aspects of yourself that may have been overlooked or pushed aside. Through this process, new possibilities for living and relating can begin to emerge.

About Me

I am a UK-based, Gestalt-trained psychotherapist working mainly online and offering walk-and-talk therapy in the Basildon and Brentwood areas of Essex.

I have been interested in people and the human condition for as long as I can remember. I often found myself in situations where people would naturally open up to me about their experiences, struggles and relationships, which made becoming a psychotherapist feel like a natural path for me.

My curiosity about people, and the ways we relate to ourselves, others and the world around us, led me to study psychology and social psychology, and eventually Gestalt psychotherapy. What drew me to Gestalt therapy was its focus on the whole person — not simply symptoms or diagnoses, but also relationships, environment, past experiences, patterns of survival and the wider context in which someone's life unfolds.

I am particularly interested in how we adapt to survive, how disconnection develops, and how greater awareness and healing can emerge through relationships and a deeper connection with ourselves and others.

I also bring lived experience of adapting to different cultures and environments, and an understanding of how challenging it can be to navigate belonging, identity and connection while adjusting to new ways of living and relating. I know how easy it can be to lose parts of ourselves in the process of trying to fit in, and how important it can be to stay connected to who we are while making space for difference and change.
