Work with me
OUR JOURNEY
I offer a safe and non-judgemental space where you can feel safe to explore what is not working for you in your life. Perhaps you are a chronic people pleaser, suffer from low self-esteem or seek validation through your career or relationship. I’d like to support you to get to a place where you feel worthy and confident in your life. I hope to see you move to a place where you can feel kindness and compassion for yourself, set boundaries to protect your energy and live the abundant life that you desire.
I work within a Gestalt framework using the here and now present moment to gain insight into the past and to heal the past. I help you to bring your awareness into your body so that you can get to know your feelings and emotions at a pace which works for you. I see emotions as messengers which are there to teach us something and which have valuable information for us to guide us in our lives. I also help you to identify core beliefs such as the fear that you are unlovable or unworthy or that you always have to earn and strive for love.
You may discover, as an example, that behind your
anxiety or racing mind lie deeper feelings such as sadness,
loneliness or anger.
By staying with these feelings and accepting them in a safe space,
you will begin to value yourself and to recognise needs that you are currently overlooking. Connecting with anger, for example,
can help us to recognise and improve unhealthy relationships
by setting healthy boundaries.
Likewise, sadness often means that we have grief to process
and release. As you begin to identify patterns of thinking or
relating that developed in childhood, you are empowered
to see what no longer serves you today and
to choose something else.

Many people who are suffering turn to external things such as alcohol, addiction, relationships, spirituality and perfectionism to escape uncomfortable feelings or to gain a sense of worth. Rather than avoiding uncomfortable feelings, I can support you to move through the empty and uncomfortable spaces toward a strong sense of kindness, care and love for self. I work with you to help connect you to your inner knowing and to facilitate you in a way which is deeply respectful to your beliefs, personhood, and which is at the right pace for you.
