Today's guest is Humanistic Gestalt Counsellor Marvis Stewart.

She joins Callsuma in the room for a chat about Gestalt therapy, practicing self compassion, forgiveness and her own experience of bereavement when her grandmother died.

Marvis has been living in England for more than a decade and is British Venezuelan, we look at Latinx bereavement and grief noting that one size does not fit all and that there are communities within communities that may have various practices and rituals depending on their belief and faith. 

She specialises in working with children and young people as well as trainee counsellors. Working in primary school settings while also holding a private practice for adults.  Some of her other professional interests revolve around multicultural issues, LGBTQ+ allyship and self-compassion. 

You can find Marvis on twitter @marviStewart1 or over on her website www.marviscounselling.co.uk
