I am currently at full capacity at The Gestalt Centre but I have availability for online counselling.  Please contact me to find out more information.

Counselling comes in different shapes and forms, often referred to as modalities. I trained in the Gestalt approach and hope that this brief explanation will help you understand what you might experience when working with me.

The best way I can explain what Gestalt is, is that it is a way of exploring your here and now experience in the context of the issue you are bringing to the counselling session. Whilst this may be something to do with a past experience; what I am curious about as a Gestalt counsellor is finding-out what it is like for you to explore that issue, with me, in the present moment.

Gestalt is relational, so as a gestalt counsellor, I would play an active role in the counselling sessions. This may be in the form of providing feedback about what I experience as an active listener; it may be to ask you to say more and focus on a particular aspect of what has been shared in order to go into more depth; it could even be to challenge you, so you can be certain about something that has been shared.

This way of working can be quite creative and dynamic and differs from other forms of humanistic therapy where the counsellor can have a more passive involvement/role.

What is crucial to Gestalt counselling and all forms of talking therapy is the importance of you-the client and your experience. Nothing is ever imposed on you during the counselling sessions and you will never be made to talk about or do anything you do not agree to.

Working in this way – with a focus in the here and now experience - offers an approach to counselling that can be rewarding and liberating. A short explanation, such as this, does not do it justice – therefore if you would like to know more and arrange an initial consultation to see if we could work together, please contact me

I will be delighted to hear from you.

I am able to offer face-to-face counselling sessions working from a consultation room at The Gestalt Centre in London.  If you are unable to attend sessions in person, I can also offer sessions online.  

Working face-to-face allows you to meet regularly with me to explore the issues you wish to talk about in a safe environment.  I offer a space free of judgement where you will be seen and heard.  I will work alongside you to explore what you wish to bring to each session.  At times, I may offer some suggestions of ways we could work with what you bring.  

I have been working with clients since 2015 and have a wealth of counselling training and experience to draw from in order to support you during your counselling sessions.    

If you want to find out more and meet for an initial consultation, I  offer this at a cheaper rate than regular counselling sessions.  The initial consultation is a good way to find out more about what working with me would be like.  You are welcome to share what you are seeking counselling for.  You can ask questions about how I work and it is the chance to see if we would be a good fit for working together.  Please contact me if you would like to arrange a consultation. 

I have good availability on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday daytimes.  Contact me for more information or to enquire about evening availability.

I work face to face or online.  Face to face sessions take place at my home where I have a designated counselling space that ensures privacy.

The first session, which is a consultation session, is offered free of charge to enable you and I to talk about what you are seeking counselling for.  I will ask you to share what you wish to explore and achieve by coming to counselling.  It is also your opportunity to ask questions about counselling and find out what working with me will be like.  This is also where we can discuss how frequently you wish to have counselling and also where any concessions for the session rate can be discussed.  We then decide if we feel we could work together and find a regular weekly or fortnightly time to meet.
