Therapists
I am a compassionate and dedicated psychotherapist and I aim to provide a safe and supportive space in which an authentic dialogue and relationship can develop. I strive to remain curious, respectful and to have a non-judgmental approach to my clients’ unique experience of being in the world. I work with individuals from all walks of life and aim to support them to identify their needs and how to best meet them by deepening self-awareness and an understanding of what lead us to develop certain relational templates and acquire set responses to our environment. I believe that the ultimate aim of therapy is to have more freedom and a stronger sense of empowerment, rather than being stuck in historic loops and templates which do not serve us any longer. In Gestalt therapy, we pay attention to what happens in the here and now. We try to slow down, so that we can identify the different steps within our emotional processes. We are interested in zooming into our relationship, the one between therapist and client, as this can be a rich territory of cues and signals mirroring what occurs outside the therapy room. I encourage my clients to be curious and explore their sense of embodiment as well as their cognitive processes. Our whole history is stored in our body. I appreciate how significant coming to therapy can be and I feel honoured and humbled by the opportunity of being part of my clients' life journey. I can work with Bupa and Aviva. Please feel free to contact me for any queries or clarifications.
I am drawn to the Gestalt approach for its holistic stance. I am interested in the narrative my clients share and also by what can be uncovered when we take a breath, slow down and also pay attention to our embodied processes. I invite my clients to stay in the here and now and inquire into what happens in our therapist-client relationship too, as that can be a fascinating mirror of what happens in other relationships. I strive to remain curious and welcoming of my clients’ lived experience in its uniqueness.
