Gestalt Therapy looks at the whole person and is holistic in its approach This means that what ever is happening in the person's life they can bring it to counselling and talk things through and work towards creative sustainable solutions and coping strategies. The family systems approach says that the family is more than the sum of its parts. When something affects one member of the group, it can have a resounding impact on every other member of the family. For that same reason, the strength and stability of the family unit can provide balance and support when one family member is experiencing problems.

You could be trying but not quite getting there on your own, you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, possibly struggling with anxiety, it’s time for you to talk.

Do you often feel like the world is made for certain types of people? Maybe you identify as autistic, highly sensitive, an ADHD-er, LGBTQ+ or feel different in some way. Maybe you feel expected to conform, mask or tick certain boxes. Most of us know that one size does not fit all. Unfortunately, the world, including the therapy world, can often feel like this is the case. This can feel restrictive and overwhelming if you feel different. I’m dedicated to creating a therapy space that respects and honours your unique differences. Let's work together to create a personalised therapy space where you can begin to feel better.

Life is made up of challenges, some are easy for us to coordinate, others seem to be harder to overcome. We are all products of our lived experiences and have challenges that are unique to us as individuals.There are so many things that impact us in the now that stem from our past experiences of life. Not all experiences may seem to be important, however, each day we have lived has given us an experience which has been either positive or negative. As unique individuals our needs are so important and I will offer a safe, non judgmental space to share your thoughts.

Are you in a relationship but feel that something isn't quite right: Maybe you argue a lot or don't really communicate anymore, you feel disconnected and wonder if this is all there is to it? Or are you trying to cope with a life transition and would like some support? Maybe you are no longer in a relationship but would like to work through a loss or an ending or simply take some time to reflect on what an authentic and meaningful life might look like for you. If this sounds like you, relationship counselling might help.

Sometimes we can get stuck in life, weighed down, unable to see a way forward. Counselling can help by offering a calm, safe space for you to talk and explore freely. Give understanding to what’s sitting heavy, what causes you distress. Whether it’s from you past or in your present we can work through at your pace.

I work with adults (including couples) and young people experiencing anxiety, low mood, stress, depression, autism (including late diagnosis), grief, ADHD, bi-polar disorder, and trauma.

At some point in our lives, we may feel ‘things’ are too much for us to manage alone. Whether, we have experienced trauma, feel anxious or depressed or just don’t know what’s wrong or who we are anymore, it can feel overwhelming. It is important to find someone you feel will listen to you and really hear what you are saying. I offer flexible appointments, for example, weekly, fortnightly.
