My Approach

As a Gestalt therapist I can be challenging and hold your challenge whist building a supportive partnerships. My therapy is influenced by many books, theories and people from Alan Wicker to DW Winnicott. It is my job to work along side you to reduce your stress, understand how your past affects you now and give you a remote control over your creative defences. Although I specialise in long term reparative therapy, I enjoy time limited work on a single issue. I want to support you. I believe that you can only hold what you are supported to hold. My style of therapy may not be for everyone, but please contact me and we can arrange a confidential conversation and refer on if needed.

About Me

I have been involved in counselling and psychotherapy since 1987. Although trained as a person centred counsellor, I mainly practice as a trauma informed relational Gestalt psychotherapist. My practice is in the centre of Cardiff. I enjoy working with many types of people including those who feel lost, describe themselves as having a hole were their self esteem should be... I work with those who feel lost, tired all the time and know they are not reaching their potential. I enjoy offering supervision and and CPD for therapists and coaches.
