About me and my therapy practice

My practice is informed by my values and my training as a Gestalt psychotherapist. As such, I see my clients as individuals in their context, experiencing their life with what is available to them, doing their best. 

I begin by really getting to know the detail of the current situation. This includes my client's thoughts, feelings, awareness of their body, their relationships, the meaning they are making of themselves and the situation. 

Creating support for therapeutic work is important and raising clients' awareness of how they are already supporting themselves plays a crucial role, as I pay attention to patterns emerging between us. 

I trust that with an increased awareness of themselves the clients can make life changing choices. 

Practice description

  • You can expect me to be interested in your current experience of yourself and your situation. 
  • I am interested in your past too but only to the extent it is relevant to what you bring now. 
  • You will hear me ask you about how something impacts you and how that feels in your body. But don't worry if you can't tell. It takes time to learn to listen to oneself.
  • I might repeat or paraphrase what you've said. 
  • Or offer a sentence for you to test out. 
  • or invite you to make a gesture. 
  • I check if you are interested in what I offer throughout the therapy session and there is never an obligation for you to agree with me.

About me and my therapy practice

I am pleased to be offering a low-cost supervision during 2024, whilst working towards a UKCP accreditation as a supervisor.

I work from Wokingham Therapy Clinic in Wokingham, Berkshire, and online via Zoom.

My approach to supervision is to create a safe and creative space for the practitioner to explore their work, their growing edges, enhance their continuous learning, and celebrate their growth as a professional. Whilst working with my supervisee, I take time to support them to reach a depth of understanding, that leaves them enriched and content to move forward with their clinical work. As a supervisor, I lean on my experience and knowledge of Gestalt psychotherapy, Developmental Somatic Psychotherapy, and a Self-Other-Situation model of supervision.

Alongside my supervision offer, I have a private practice in Wokingham and teach on the MSc in Gestalt Psychotherapy at Metanoia Institute, London. I have also been an assistant tutor on the Introduction to Counselling Skills and Studies programme at Metanoia. I am both UKCP and Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ registered and have over 10 years’ experience of working as a psychotherapist.

To reach my UKCP accreditation as a supervisor, I have embarked on a highly regarded Relational Change supervision training. As part of the requirement of the course and to enable assessment of my work as a supervisor, I will need to audio record the sessions.

If this catches your interest, please get in touch to have an informal conversation about how my offer can fit your professional needs. 

Practice description

This offer can work for both qualified practitioners as well as trainees with their pre-existing supervision arrangements.
