I have afternoon /early evening spaces available on Tuesday and Thursdays at the Gestalt Centre, London

I focus on felt experience in the here-and-now of the therapeutic relationship and raise awareness of unfinished business from the past and fears about the future that inhibit your abiity to be fully present in the moment. I balance empathy with challenge in providing insight into self-defeating thought and behavioural patterns. My work is an integration of my training in both Gestalt Psychotherapy and the Person-Centred approach, along with my experience of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy.

I am an experienced practitioner who provides counselling and psychotherapy to adult individuals and couples. I work with a wide range of presenting issues including depression, anxiety, bereavement, relationship and sexual difficulties, obsessive/compulsive behaviours and life/career decisions. Counselling addresses specific problems with the aim of helping you to get a clearer perspective on your feelings and any decisions you have to make. Psychotherapy is a longer term exploration of troubling states of mind, which over time can lead to a more mature and satisfying understanding of self and relationships with others. Sessions are 50 minutes in length and take place at a frequency of one or two per week.

The first meeting is a consultation to make a mutual assessment of whether we could work together. Prior to this consultation I would require you to complete a form providing information such as your contact details, next of kin, GP contact details, medication and previous therapy and mental health history. The consultation lasts for 50 minutes and the usual fee rate applies.
