My Training

I hold a BSc in Psychology from Manchester University, specialising in the psychology of love, social communication via the Internet, and work-related stress. During this time I also obtained training and experience of working with neurodiverse people.

I am a UK accredited Gestalt Counsellor and trained at the Gestalt Centre in Old Street, London. Gestalt counselling focuses on how you feel, think or do things in the present moment. It holds the view that people are linked to and influenced by their environments, and that all people strive towards growth and balance in their lives. In my practice, I use a range of techniques that might include talking, writing, drawing, visualisations or movement. We will work together in a way that suits you best.

I have obtained additional training and experience in:

  • Anger, leading to violence, depression or lack of direction
  • Gender identity and sexuality
  • Racial and cultural identity
  • Neurodiversities including ADHD and autism
  • Women and mental health, including the impact and experience of menopause
  • Ways of working such as:
    • Online and telephone counselling
    • Outdoor/nature or ‘walk and talk’ therapy
    • Meditation, visualisation and mindfulness practices
    • Therapeutic writing such as journalling and freefall writing
