I am training in Gestalt Psychotherapy, which is a holistic approach to mental health and personal growth. It's a talking therapy that sees individuals as whole beings, embedded in their unique environment, and not just a collection of symptoms or problems. 

One of its core principles is the emphasis on the 'here and now',  bringing awareness to our immediate experiences, and exploring how what has happened in the past shows up in our relationships and patterns of behaviour today.  This often involves paying attention to bodily sensations, emotions, and the interactions between the self and the environment. Through this process, we can gain insight into our patterns of behavior, and open up possibilities for change. 

Another key element of Gestalt therapy is the therapeutic relationship. I work collaboratively with you to create a safe and supportive space for exploration.  Together we can harness creative techniques to help you better understand yourself and your relationships.  The holistic Gestalt approach means that what happens in the therapy room, in our client/therapist relationship, is not seen as removed and seperate from 'real' life, but as a real and meaningful part of the whole of your life.
