Hello & welcome. I'm Oriana, a qualified Gestalt Psychotherapeutic Counsellor offering in-person and online therapy sessions in South London. I believe that therapy can be a journey of discovery of your own unique way of being in the world. I understand that starting therapy may feel like taking a leap into the unknown and look forward to welcoming you in a safe and confidential space, where you can feel supported and heard. Together, we will identify and gain a deeper understanding of the issues you are struggling with, and we will work towards your goals. I will help you identify unhelpful patterns and develop new resources and behaviours.
In my work, I adopt a Gestalt approach. This is grounded in a holistic view of the human being as a whole of mind, body and environment, and enables me to include a sensitivity to embodied, social and cultural aspects into my practice. I will focus on expanding your awareness, as I am convinced this is key to living more fully and to making the changes you wish to make. Depending on your interests, you will have the opportunity to use creative methods of exploration of the themes that you wish to bring into therapy, from the use of imagery to attending to body movements and sensations.
I have a background in Social Anthropology and have always been interested in how social and cultural factors play a role in an individual’s life. In particular, I have examined processes of personal and collective creation of meaning. This now emerges in my therapeutic work – I can offer you a space to identify or re-examine your own sources of meaning and value. I also have a personal lived experience of intercultural dynamics, with their potential for both disruption and growth.
