A space to think, freely.

Drawn to this work

I have felt naturally drawn to people and resonate with being an empath from an early age and stage in life. All the academic and professional decisions I have made have mindfully led me to this place of private practice where my clinic can be a sanctuary that holds space for you. I have received experiential training post the Covid-19 crisis to be able to work online using that modality with as much ease — so that the session we may choose to do virtually can still feel like we are in the room together.

This transition is reflective of one of the core principles of Gestalt, and I share it here as a pillar of my point of view — let's ask the question: "Can you adjust?… to this event that has taken place, that is not of your choosing, or to how this person, of your choosing, has made you feel." The 'adjustment' here is not a compromise, but rather a need to look within to see what we can do differently, how we can modulate our own reactions, and move to 'self-support' rather than waiting for 'social support'. These are the first necessary steps to building Agency and Autonomy.

Beyond "just relax"

It is also easier said than done. We are often told to "relax" when we are anxious, or "practice self-care" when we are feeling low — however, in our daily lives, we do not usually have the space and trained eye to support us in understanding why we may not have the tools to do so.

We will explore this 'why' together without an enquiry, but with a gentle eye on your childhood and past, without staying there longer than necessary, but while giving it the space it needs. Many of our life scripts and subconscious ways of being are rooted there, and it is important to do an exploration together. When we embark on this journey together, we are better placed to explore the aspects that hold you back, understand the stuck-ness, and build together a toolbox that will be replete with the core qualities that work for you, and a gradual and gentle addition of the ones you aspire for, the capacity for which may well be within you but the how is something you need to learn. We do that learning, together.

All parts of you, welcome

Working with me is a holistic experience. I invite all the parts of you — the hidden, the disavowed, the ones you consider ugly and less likeable, the ones people have rejected and hence you may too, the less liked. Think of it as a coming together of all your selves, and that honest integration is the first step to feeling integrated.

An integrative working style, over many years, also means that I am able to discern and learn, from my own toolbox, about which techniques and modalities would be best suited for you. I adapt for you, and bring to the table the features you need to focus on, using the strategies from my training that would be most fruitful at the time. These may include classic Gestalt techniques, principles of Motivational Theory, Breathwork, Meditations, Creative Visualisation, or creating a Dream Journal together — but more likely to be all focused on the integration of the body and mind, with an emphasis on your feelings.

A journey to yourself

Join me on a journey, to yourself. It can be as short or long as required. It will be deep, because the only way to it, is through it. I can guarantee that my co-piloting of your journey will be comfortable, and you will be held with empathy and without judgment.

Who I work with

I have been exploring how the mind and emotions work for over 20 years. I have worked with people from all walks of life: young adults just starting out, parents navigating family life, older adults reflecting on big changes, and everyone in between. I am especially sensitive to cultural differences, identity questions, and experiences that might feel taboo or hard to share.

No matter your background — cultural, social, ethnic — or your gender or sexuality, you are welcome here. I am LGBTQIA+ aware and committed to inclusive, respectful support.
