Clinical Experience in Psychotherapy
I am UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) Registered Psychotherapist. I provide short term counselling to both individuals and couples who have a particular concern in their life, and longer term psychotherapy to those who wish to explore patterns and relationships in more depth. I have practised as a therapist for more than twelve years. I have been involved in the work of four local counselling services as well as running my own private counselling and psychotherapy practice.
What to Expect during Psychotherapy
I am a Gestalt Psychotherapist. Gestalt Psychotherapy is a therapeutic relational approach concerned with awareness and personal choice. We all have a natural tendency towards wholeness and health. We are each unique and have the ability to respond appropriately and creatively to our own needs.However, throughout life, circumstances have sometimes forced us to make choices and create fixed patterns of behaviour that now leave us feeling dissatisfied, stressed, uncomfortable or ill at ease.
In Gestalt Psychotherapy we explore our here and now experience in order to gain awareness of how we might be habitually reducing sensations, feelings, thoughts and actions and creating patterns that no longer help us. When we gain a fuller sense of our moment to moment activity through working with a therapist we can increase our choices in how we live and interact with other people.
