How I work

I work from a Gestalt perspective, influenced by Attachment Theory.

In Gestalt Therapy, we explore the full shape of your experience, what you’re feeling, what’s missing, and what might be possible, so you can meet life with more clarity and energy.

Sometimes, earlier experiences can leave us feeling like the present isn’t safe to fully relax into. You might find yourself moving through the world with a sense of caution or control. Rather than trying to get rid of these protective strategies, we get curious about how they function and what it’s like to rely on them.

This approach isn’t about diagnosing or fixing. It doesn’t start from rigid ideas of what’s normal or not.

It’s about working with what’s happening now and helping you find new ways to respond to challenges that once felt stuck or out of reach. As you begin to notice more of what you need, your thoughts, feelings and actions can start to align in a way that feels steadier and more self-supporting. This is the heart of self-regulation: recognising what matters and responding from there.

Attachment Theory helps us understand how early relationships shape the way we connect with others and care for ourselves. These experiences often leave a kind of emotional blueprint, ways of feeling, expecting, and responding, that we carry into adult relationships. 

In therapy, these patterns often play out in the therapeutic relationship itself. Therapy becomes a space not

just for insight, but for a different kind of connection, one that can help repair old wounds by making space for feelings that may have been missed, misunderstood or too much for others to handle. For many clients, this offers a new experience of being met and responded to, which can gradually shift how they relate both to others and to themselves.

My style is warm, direct, nonjudgmental and sometimes challenging. I aim to offer a space where you feel seen, heard and accepted as you are.

I work with individuals and couples from a wide range of backgrounds. My practice is inclusive, sex positive and affirming of different identities and relationship styles.
