I know that therapy can help us towards being happier, more fulfilled and much more compassionate to ourselves and others. A good relationship with a trained and experienced therapist provides a space in which we can heal and learn about ourselves and our relationships with others.

I completed a four year training at the Edinburgh Gestalt Institute. The Diploma training in Gestalt Therapy at EGI was a long-standing and well respected Masters-level training regulated by GPTI and UKCP. Based on learning about awareness and the use of self in relationship for the growth of the client, the training was rigorous and taught by extensive practical and creative exploration geared towards building an understanding of what really works in therapy.

Ongoing training is a really important facet of any therapist's professional development. I have continued to attend regular training since the completion of my diploma including most recently becoming a Certified Trauma Focused Therapist, completing a Diploma in Supervision of Psychotherapy, a Certificate in Trauma-Informed Mindfulness and a Certificate in Group Counselling skills.
