My approach is eclectic and about as far from CBT as you can get. From learning the art of listening at Lifeline, I was drawn to Gestalt therapy, for its dynamic and active approach to therapy. Gestalt therapy is interested in the polarities we experience, how do we support ourselves and find agency in day to day life.

​

I am interested in and work with issues such as grief and loss, change, ageing, forgiveness and what does it mean to live a full life that allows both pleasure, satisfaction, joy as well as sadness, regret, guilt, shame.

​

In recent years, I have also found Dialetical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), schema therapy and more recently EMDR to useful tools for both me and clients to navigate whatever issue they bring to therapy.

​

Self-care is very important and because I believe that I can't help you if I'm not at the top of my game. I wont ask you to do anything that I don’t do myself. My spare time can include baking, perfecting the perfect curry, watching Netflix, swimming, massage, float tanks. Having studied somatic sexology, sex and pleasure are vitally important to me.
