As a Gestalt-trained Psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor, I provide a supportive and challenging context to work and think about your clinical effectiveness. We work together to understand the patterns and processes of your clients, exploring what might be coming up within your therapeutic relationship to develop a deeper understanding of your client and their difficulties. I have many years of experience supervising trainees and qualified counsellors working with young people and adults. I offer a non-judgmental space to explore what is coming up for you and your clients in the present, linking past experiences to the here and now to heighten awareness.

Through my years of experience as a Gestalt Psychotherapist, I work to integrate body sensations, feelings and thoughts to raise awareness of what might be going on for your clients in the moment that may be holding them back. As a school-based manager and clinical supervisor, I also have vast experience safeguarding young people and can support you to maintain a boundaried professional framework in which to work.
