Founded in 2007, Bridging the Barriers operated as a successful therapeutic consulting company servicing both the human services and private sectors. In 2015 my focus turned to private practice, concentrating on individual, couples and addiction therapy.

Gestalt Therapy
Gestalt Therapy is a relational approach to psychotherapy and counselling. Emerging out of the psychoanalytic movement of the early 1950’s, Gestalt therapy has evolved to be now recognised as a sensitive and robust mainstream therapeutic approach, grounded in self - awareness, genuine relating and experiential learning promoting growth, healing and change.
Gestalt Therapy assists in resolving mental health and emotional difficulties that might present in your life as:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Stress
- Low Self Esteem
- Life Crises
- Relationship Problems
- Addiction Concerns
Genuine Relating
Genuine Relating is a unique approach to counselling and psychotherapy. This dynamic interactive relational approach is central to my professional practice and services. Genuine Relating values heartfelt connection while honouring our individual uniqueness and wholeness. Genuine Relating moves us beyond our focus on self to a deeper connection with others, the world around us and beyond.
Genuine Relating is grounded Relational Gestalt Therapy, contemporary spirituality and the latest evidence based practices. Genuine Relating builds better relationship, optimal emotional and mental health and heals addiction.
