I offer a safe, accepting space where we can explore your experience, without judgement, in your time and at your pace. This will help you to take a step back from a situation that may feel frightening, depressing or restrictive, and see it from a fresh perspective. In time you'll see that you have choices and ways forward; possibly more than you think. How I work I specialise in Gestalt therapy which focuses on bringing different aspects of yourself into present awareness. I tailor my approach to your needs rather than using a fixed programme, but it would typically include the following elements: Assessment: Understanding your experience in your terms and using your description and your language. Stabilisation: Working out what works best for you in terms of feeling grounded in the here and now, rather than mind wandering in the future or the past. That could be through getting out of your head and connecting with your body and what that's telling you. Or it may be really paying attention to the world around you in the present moment. Exploration: Of how you are in the world in terms of relationships patterns, patterns of behaviour etc so that you are more aware of you and your process. That might be through talking things over, but sometimes words aren't enough. If that's the case then we can explore other ways, whether that’s through drawing, playing, moving or making. Integration: bringing the insights you gain about yourself together so that you can see a way forward.
