About me
I am a trained Gestalt practitioner from London who now lives and practices in Berlin.
I come from an international background - with American parentage but grew up in the rich variety of London. This has made me curious about the unique blend of cultures and experiences we all carry, as well as the common human themes we all participate in. This includes the universal experience of getting stuck in difficult feelings or unsatisfying patterns. In my work with people I try to help us explore what living well means to us, expand our awareness of how we are getting stuck and experiment with new possibilities.
As well as practicing counselling and psychological work, I also want to spread awareness and contribute to its development. From 2019 - 2021, I helped to train gestalt therapists at the Metanoia Institute in London.
I am accredited with the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy and abide by the UKCP code of ethics.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
CoachingRecommended for those who want support and motivation to achieve personal or professional goals, often with a structured, goal-oriented approach.
CounsellingRecommended for those who want to talk through their emotional challenges with a professional in a safe, supportive environment.
The main focus Gestalt is the development of awareness. Many difficulties we experience in life can be seen as the result of creative solutions to 'old' problems which have now become automatic or out of awareness. Our work would be to restore your awareness and expands your range of choice in your present reality.
The heart of my work is a focus on the relationship itself. By exploring how we are relating, it is often possible to bring patterns and experiences which are troubling us in everyday life into the present moment and work with them. This can hep us find creative ways forward together rather than struggling with the problem in isolation. While this attention to the relationship can be very helpful, I am equally committed to progressing at the right pace for you.
Gestalt is an integrative approach, which means I bring in a range of tools and techniques if I believe they may be helpful in our work. I work with embodiment, visualisation, creative materials, written exercises and any ideas we may develop together in order to help us find fresh perspectives and new ways forward in the work.
