             CONTACT

 I am a Gestalt Psychotherapist with background training & experience in Bodymind therapy. I offer Individual or Group Gestalt Therapy Online & in London,  UK (London near Old Street, EC1, N1).  

Currently I am only available for Online (video, audio) sessions.


I first qualified in 1984 and have been working with clients in Individual Therapy for over 37 years.  The Individual Gestalt Therapy work I offer includes both ongoing longer term therapy ( Psychotherapy ) and short term therapy ( counselling ).


I have been facilitating Experiential / Gestalt therapy groups for over 30 years, both privately and for various training courses. Currently I facilitate  an ongoing online Gestalt therapy  group, which has been running since February 2022.  Until then I facilitated an ongoing Gestalt therapy  group in Central London. This group met weekly (40+ weeks per year) for over 15 years.

 You can find some information about my approach to therapy / psychotherapy in the "What is Gestalt Therapy ?" section of the website.


Training & Experience

My personal therapy experience ranges over a period of 47 years and includes extensive experience of Humanistic Psychotherapy approaches to personal development ( Gestalt , Neo-Reichian therapy, Co Counselling, Encounter, Primal Therapy, and Person Centred Therapy.).

Working with children, as a Residential Social Worker stimulated my own development. From the mid 1970's onward I worked intensively with Encounter, Primal Therapy and Neo Reichian therapy in a self help therapeutic community, in Individual & Group Therapy and Training Weekends (Reciport Co Counselling with Glyn Seaborn Jones).

Later I trained in Bodymind Therapy, a synthesis of Bio-Energetics, Gestalt and Primal therapies, qualifying in 1984 (Dip ABT).

After a further four or five years training in Gestalt Therapy I graduated from the Gestalt Centre London in 1989.

I also hold a Dip. H.E. Humanistic Psychotherapy by Independent Study (1988). This included a focus on collaborative group work and two year membership of a Person Centred Therapy study group.

Along with these therapy approaches I have  experience of more quiescent approaches that also promote insight and personal development ( Insight Meditation, Relaxation Techniques, use of Imagery ).

I have had some interest & experience in exploring the interface between therapy and meditation practice : in 1981 I undertook the classic three-week Primal Intensive combined with a period of extended Vipassana meditation practice. Insight (Vipassana) Meditation was a regular part of my life for some years. I return to it in an informal way, finding that it complements my Gestalt practise.

Like many humanistic psychotherapists I believe that supervision and my own personal development work are important, providing support and stimulation for my work as a therapist.
