GestaltServices Offered
I offer Gestalt psychotherapy for individual adults on a short- or long-term basis, providing a relational and spacious environment where you can explore your inner world with curiosity and compassion. As a trainee Gestalt therapist in Bristol (BS1), I offer face-to-face sessions in English and German, with reduced-fee appointments at £35 for a 50-minute session through the Affordable Therapy Service. I also offer a free 20-minute online consultation. Therapy can support you with low mood, bereavement, illness, life transitions, authenticity, or relationship issues. Our work offers space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and welcome all parts of your experience.
About Approach
My approach to Gestalt psychotherapy is grounded in presence, relational depth, and respect for your lived experience. We pay close attention to what emerges moment by moment—your sensations, emotions, thoughts, and the patterns shaping how you relate to yourself, others, and the world. Rather than aiming to fix symptoms, Gestalt therapy supports awareness of the strategies you developed to navigate challenges, including bereavement or life transitions, and to manage difficult experiences. As this awareness grows, new choices and more authentic ways of relating become possible. I offer a warm, collaborative therapeutic space to explore yourself with honesty, curiosity, and connection.
Qualifications
- PG Advanced diploma in Gestalt Psychotherapy - Year 2 Trainee
- PG Dip Psychological Therapies Practice (High Intensity Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)
- German Diploma in Social Work/Social Pedagogy (equivalent to BA)
Alongside my Gestalt psychotherapy training, I currently work as a high-intensity CBT therapist, supporting people experiencing depression, different forms of anxiety, OCD, panic, phobias, insomnia, bereavement, adjustment difficulties, and trauma.
This work has given me a deep appreciation of how overwhelming things can feel when you’re struggling, and how hard you may be trying to cope.
Although I offer Gestalt therapy only through this register, my CBT experience enriches my practice and helps me meet you with steadiness, sensitivity, and a broad understanding of what you might be going through.
