About Approach
Contemporary gestalt therapy and clinical supervision within a phenomenological and field-emergent approach. In clinical supervision, I blend teaching with discussion, including embodied exploration of integrating theory to clinical work, with a focus on safeguarding and ethical practice. I am deeply committed to trainee and post-graduate development and exploration of gestalt therapy theory and practice.
