| Life brings all of us to points where something needs to shift, even when we can’t quite name what that something is. A relationship might feel stuck. A loss might have hit harder than expected. Something from the past might keep bursting into the present, uninvited. Or a quiet unease about a new stage of life might have stirred questions that won’t settle on their own. You don’t need fixing. Something just got in the way — and we can work with that.
This is central to Gestalt therapy, the approach I practice: we’re all born with the capacity to solve our own problems, form rewarding relationships, and build a satisfying, fulfilling life. Struggle usually means that capacity got interrupted, not that it disappeared. Together, we can look more closely at your situation, notice your part in the patterns that keep things stuck, and experiment with new ways of responding — often discovering firmer ground than you thought was there. After a decade working in the humanitarian aid sector, in places shaped by crisis and trauma, I learned that what truly helps a person in difficulty is rarely someone arriving with answers already decided. It’s someone willing to stay present, to connect honestly, and not look away — even when things are hardest. That’s what I offer now, as a therapist. I show up with steady presence, real warmth, and plain honesty. Whatever you bring, I want to meet it with acceptance rather than judgement — curious about your particular way of seeing the world, including the parts you’re least sure of. My hope is to support you in becoming more fully who you are, free from the “shoulds” that so often crowd us out. I’m currently completing a Master’s in Psychotherapy at the University of Brighton, building on my Humanistic and Gestalt counselling training. I bring experience working with trauma in its many forms, from early childhood through to adulthood, as well as a longstanding interest in existential questions — meaning, freedom, and the harder parts of being human. Some people arrive already able to put words to what’s going on. Others only know that something isn’t right. Whatever has brought you here, I’d be glad to meet it, and you. Get in touch to book an introductory session to see if we’re the right fit. |
