About my practice

My professional and personal experience is that deepening our embodied presence brings peace, slowness, stillness and equanimity. A sense of embodying our power, of being able to be with all things as they arise and pass away, of finding creative responses to life as it unfolds in and around us. This is why supporting and developing the capacity for embodied presence is a crucial part of how I work. It is important to me that I offer a relationship that is non-judgmental, respectful and safe with clear professional boundaries. I see both support and challenge as essential parts of a therapy relationship. Therapy is a commitment, which requires courage and honesty from both client and therapist. Often people seek therapy when they have got stuck in repetitive patterns of feelings, thoughts, body sensations and actions. Therapy is a process that enables clients to increase their awareness of these patterns and thus make their own choices about changes they want to make in their lives. As well as increasing awareness of the client’s patterns, as a Gestalt therapist, I help create opportunities for clients to try out new ways of being in the world. I sometimes work with clients outdoors. I find that the aliveness of the natural world can be an incredible co-therapist. Examples of working outdoors are walking or sitting outside while talking, sitting quietly and feeling the earth or connecting intimately and deeply with aspects of the natural world such as trees, plants, animals and rivers. I have been working as a therapist for over 30 years, and as a supervisor for over 25 years.
