I am a qualified Gestalt Therapist, and have worked in various settings providing counselling. This includes Mind, NHS, and Fat Macys, a social enterprise organisation offering counselling for service users and staff. I have been facilitating online Group counselling sessions for LBTQ and LGBTQ+ POC & BIPOC clients for London Friend. Currently, I freelance for a psychology service, BGPS, as an Associate Counsellor offering 1:1 counselling for staff and clients who have experienced homelessness. This work takes me to less conventional therapeutic settings, for example, cafes, parks, walking and talking and in-reach in clients’ homes, often working in collaboration with other services. I have delivered Reflective Practice Group Sessions for staff members in a range of organisations and 1:1 Reflective Practice. I run my private practice in a therapeutic setting, Podium Longcroft House (EC2M).
Being a Gestalt Therapist means the work we do together is humanistic and relational. Our work together will focus on the 'here and now', what you are immediately bringing with you into the therapeutic process. The process is to support you to focus on your thoughts, feelings and behaviours and understand better the way you relate to others and yourself. This allows you to start to become more self-aware, reflective, and live your life to your fullest potential.
My approach is to create an environment that feels safe and holding. I will listen attentively and empathically, offering reflection when needed. I work experientially and have an understanding that when there are language barriers, verbal expression feels challenging and words may become stuck, I can provide a space for exploring alternative ways to find expression, sometimes incorporating creativity to support the counselling process
Adults 18+ from a wide range of backgrounds, presenting issues which prevent living to their full potential, including LGBTQ+ communities, homeless clients, POC & BIPOC communities and students.
