My Approach

I offer you a chance to be listened to and explore your inner world in confidence. Sharing our thoughts and feelings with others is a basic human need, when we have not been heard in the past especially during difficult times, this can develop as a mistrust of others and a lack of confidence in ourselves.
Over years this feeling of isolation from others and low self-esteem can become a way of life, and can lead to recurring difficulties in relationships and create other symptoms such as depression, addiction or anxiety. In therapy together we can explore these deeper themes, so that you can eventually feel more connected to others, and more fulfilled in your life.

About Me

I am a qualified registered humanistic and integrative psychotherapist, and work in private practice near Bristol and NE Somerset. I welcome adults of all ages, from different backgrounds, cultures and identities.

I work with

  • Individuals

Special Interests

Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.

If you have been hurt or used as a child and have not been able to tell anyone, therapy is a safe confidential place to explore those feelings and memories. Together we can make sense of confusion and memory loss, at your own pace.
I have trained in Adoption support and understand the complexities of looking after traumatised children and teens. Parenting either through fostering, adoption or guardian care has an extra set of challenges, requiring therapeutic parenting at times. I can help support you through parenting in difficult circumstances and managing your own emotions in this.
You may have a feeling that you are depressed and don't know why. We can begin to explore together what has happened over time to lead you to feeling hopeless at times. Unaddressed depression can lead to suicidal thoughts, I can help you explore these difficult feelings in a space that is calm and private.
If you are a parent who is struggling to cope, therapy could be a space for you to explore this. I have training and experience in therapeutic parenting, and have run support groups for parents who are caring for traumatised children.
I am passionate about finding ways to resolve developmental trauma and work in therapy with how you can express those aspects of yourself that have had to remain silent.
