About Me

'THIS MEMBER HAS COMPLETED UKCP COVID-19 ONLINE WORKING GUIDANCE'

I have a particular interest in trauma; PTSD and C-PTSD, addictive behaviours and coping mechanisms and their link to childhood trauma; 'ACE's' (Adverse Childhood Experiences), and how these affect survivors as adults.

Trauma comes in many forms; obvious, overt ones such as physical or sexual abuse, car accidents, war, disasters etc, and also less obvious or covert forms like emotional abuse or neglect, bullying, or just 'not getting what we need' on an emotional level. If you have experienced trauma (defined here simply as anything that 'overwhelms' your nervous system's ability to adapt healthily) then it's likely that some emotions connected with the trauma are either unavailable to you or intermittently or relentlessly disturbing to you. I can help you with that.

I am a member of UKCP and BCPC and abide by their code of ethics. I am also a member of ISST-D (International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation); European Society for Traumatic Stress Studies; Trauma Research Foundation and ACE's Connection.

During my training I completed a placement with Barnardo's Sure-start programme providing therapy for young Mums, and a mental health placement with Avon and Wiltshire Assessment and Recovery team.


At the heart of my work is a belief in the deep value of simply being in a calm, confidential and safe space where you can explore what's troubling you at your own pace. You may be looking for therapy because you know that you have experienced some form of trauma or you may simply be feeling a bit down and that things are 'not quite right', or something in-between. I will offer you good humoured warmth and acceptance, that will support you to express what is going on for you, and together we can try to make sense of things. Through being heard, allowing feeling and being genuinely 'seen', things get better...

Space for you... psychotherapy in Bristol just off Whiteladies Road and online via Zoom, FaceTime or WhatsApp video.

I am currently seeing clients online and face to face.

It's important for online work to make sure you have a private space for your session.
