Gestalt Psychotherapist

 

 

Experience and Qualifications

  • Advanced Diploma in Gestalt Therapy
  • Clinical Member GANZ

 

I am an energetic therapist who brings warmth and compassion to her work. My approach is from a heart-centered and relational perspective and is centered on explorations through conversations, body process work, dream work and inner journeying work. I also provide psycho-education, meditation, mindfulness and breathing techniques to support the work.  I offer a high level of presence, validation, empathy and compassion with a balance of graded challenge. I treat my clients with dignity and respect and offer a safe therapeutic space in which to explore themes, patterns and deep psychological issues and ways of being. 

I have a broad range of professional experience which includes working with people who present with issues such as grief and loss, trauma (including sexual, physical & emotional abuse), addictions, relationship/family issues, difficulties with life transitions, anxiety and depression.   I can also provide stress management.

Spiritual beliefs systems from different cultures particularly Tibetan Buddhism, Hinduism, the Tao, and Shamanism have all informed my practice.

I am currently employed as a therapist/counsellor in a Community Health Centre where my experience has been enriched over the years counselling people from varied cultural and socio-economic backgrounds and with a wide range of presenting issues. Within that role I currently provide secondary consultation to up to 30 health professionals and I also provide clinical supervision to students and staff.
