Welcome
Somewhere beneath the coping, there's a self waiting to be met.
Gestalt therapy to help you find a depth of understanding.
IN-PERSON & ONLINE COUNSELLING
Zoë's Gestalt Therapy Practice
You don’t need to be in crisis to know something’s not working.
Maybe you're doing all the 'right' things - showing up, holding it together, being there for others- but underneath, there’s a quiet sense of 'not enoughness.' A subtle disconnect. A feeling like life is happening around you, rather than through you.
You might be tired of repeating the same patterns in your relationships. Or maybe you're in a transition: grief, separation, change in identity or direction - and want a space to land, to listen, to rediscover what’s real for you.
Therapy with me isn’t about quick fixes or simple symptom management. It’s about slowing down enough to hear yourself (or one another) again. It’s relational, embodied, and gently confronting in service of something more honest and whole. I provide a space for clients to grow their capacity for self-awareness and understanding.
If you’re ready to explore who you are beneath the coping strategies, and you want a space where you can be met —not managed— I’d love to work with you.
I work with adults either individually or as couples.

Area of Interest
RELATIONSHIPS
Our earliest experiences of connection shape how we show up in adult relationships. When those early bonds are inconsistent, overwhelming, or unavailable, we often develop 'ways of being' that help us survive - but don’t serve us later in life.
You might notice this as a push-pull dynamic in intimacy, a tendency to shut down or over-accommodate, or the quiet ache of never quite feeling met. These patterns can create tension in relationships and reinforce painful beliefs about who you are or what you’re worth.
I support people to work with the symptoms of relational trauma as they show up in the here and now - things like anxiety, obsessive thinking, lack of motivation, shame, guilt, or anger.
By exploring your behaviours and emotional patterns in a grounded and compassionate way, therapy becomes a space to grow awareness, take responsibility, and build more satisfying connections.
This can be done with individual engagement or in collaboration with a significant other in couples therapy.
Rather than: “They need to change!”
Q). "What am I bringing?"
Q). "What do I need?"
Q). "What would it take to do things differently?"
Our Contract
Counselling takes courage, commitment, and a willingness to show up together.
I’m here to meet you in that space - with presence, care, and respect for your unique process.
Together, we’ll explore what may be hidden, forgotten, or just out of reach: those parts of you that long to be reclaimed. Whether shaped by past experiences or current challenges, these threads often hold the key to deeper healing and growth.
Through Gestalt Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy, I aim to support you in becoming more fully yourself - encouraging awareness, choice, and the confidence to live in alignment with who you truly are.
