About me

I am a Gestalt psychotherapist, PGDip MBACP (Snr Accred). Gestalt means �whole� in German, and this approach supports the integration of your emotional, physical, and intellectual self. It is a relational therapy, which means we pay close attention to how we interact, offering insights into how you relate to others.

We focus on the here and now, exploring your thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations with curiosity. We consider both present and past influences, and together, we will follow what matters most to you, those moments that feel charged or significant. These are often clues to unfinished business, unmet needs, or trauma. My role is to be alongside you, sometimes guiding, sometimes witnessing, creating a space of compassion, honesty, and healing

For those of you looking for EMDR therapy, I completed my EMDR therapy training in 2024 and have since integrated it into my Gestalt psychotherapy practice. This blended approach honour's the principles of both Gestalt therapy and EMDR, ensuring a comprehensive and tailored therapeutic experience.

If you are seeking therapy for your child or adolescent, I offer a warm, accepting space where they can explore their inner world and develop healthy emotional regulation. I build an honest, supportive relationship with each young person I work with, helping them feel seen, understood, and accepted just as they are.

In a world full of labels, it is important to remember that emotions like sadness, anger, or anxiety are normal parts of being human. I encourage a view of mental health that honours these emotional fluctuations and builds resilience through compassion.

I have been in private practice since 2019, when I retired from Hampshire Police after 3 decades in a variety of specialisms, including domestic violence, child protection and the management of officers impacted by traumatic experiences. My ability not to shy away from another's distress led me to the privilege of this vocation.
