Gestalt Psychotherapy

I am a PACFA registered Gestalt psychotherapist and have taught a therapeutic movement practice called Open Floor for the past 10 years. I'm passionate about change, embodiment, and relationships. I provide a safe, comfortable environment for you to expand your awareness and develop inner resources to fully embrace life's challenges.

My approach is grounded in Gestalt's holistic philosophy, which believes in our inherent wholeness, resilience, and interconnectedness with the world around us. I offer an embodied approach that deepens your connection to mind and body. This can help get to the root of issues, supporting your healing, growth, and a greater sense of choice-fullness in your life. I integrate other evidence-based and trauma informed techniques such as Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems, Attachment Theory and Mindfulness to meet your needs.

From my experience, both as a client and therapist, I have found Gestalt therapy to be transformative work that expands one's awareness of their habitual ways of being and relating, and offers new experiences of what is possible. This has offered me, and my clients, more choice in how we relate to the many parts of ourselves, and how we then engage with the people and world around us.

As a warm, creative, and skilled practitioner, I bring a real sense of authenticity to our therapeutic relationship. Drawing on my own therapy experiences, I deeply respect the courage it takes to reach out for support. I see the process of therapy as enlivening and profoundly life-affirming. As a therapist I see myself as a guide, and collaborator with you.

My areas of focus include relationship issues, anxiety, life transitions, self-esteem, grief and loss, trauma, burnout, depression, conflict, spirituality and creativity. I warmly welcome people from all cultural backgrounds, religious beliefs and identities.

I offer open-ended and fixed-term therapy for adults, in-person in the inner-north of Melbourne and online.

If you're interested in working together, I invite you to book a free short phone consultation so we can explore if we're a good fit.
