Counselling in BS8
People come to therapy for all kinds of reasons. Yours might be clear to you. But equally you might just have a sense that your life could be better somehow.
Often the beliefs, stories and patterns that cause us pain are things that we are not yet fully aware of. Sometimes they show up in our bodies before our minds can make sense of them.
Through our work together, what is happening in your body and mind can be gently brought into focus and you can develop your own unique way of being in the world – one that reflects what you really want.

Hi, thanks for visiting my profile. I am a counsellor and psychotherapist based in Bristol. You can see me either at my practice room in Clifton or on Zoom. I believe we all have the potential to live fulfilling, satisfying lives in connection with others and that even our most difficult experiences can still have meaning. For me, therapy is “the attempt to meet the depth of our wounds with an even greater depth of tenderness” (Dr Rick Hansen).

So often in our lives we reach a place where we are struggling in some capacity or another. It may be a deep-rooted issue that goes back to childhood, a past relationship or a trauma. It may be some destructive behaviour such as a form of self-harm or an eating disorder. It may be a negative thought process that is having an impact on our daily life. Whatever the issue, I believe counselling can help. Having a place where we can allow ourselves time and a calm space to think, talk and work things out can be absolutely priceless.

I work with adults using a range of therapeutic approaches depending on what best meets the needs of the individual. I often use acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), compassion focused therapy (CFT) and am accredited in EMDR. To find out more about the way that I work, visit my website for more information.

Hello,
You may be suffering from depression and low self-esteem, anxiety or difficulty with relationships. You may be bereaved or struggling with past trauma or abuse. Psychotherapy provides a space where you can allow, express and learn about your feelings. My approach is psychodynamic and relational which makes connections between feelings and behaviour, past and present, helping to make sense of your thoughts and patterns of relating. This approach also looks at the way we may work against ourselves in relationships, work and other areas of our lives, enabling opportunities to find new ways of living.

If you’re exhausted by shallow self-help, fake positivity, and constant pressure to be more productive, you’re not alone.
Another podcast. Another morning routine. Another person online claiming they’ve mastered life while quietly falling apart behind the scenes.
Meanwhile, you may still feel anxious, disconnected, stuck, lonely, overwhelmed, or unlike yourself underneath it all.
I’m not especially interested in pretending life is simple or reducing people to diagnoses, labels, or productivity problems to solve.

I am passionate about humans' ability to heal their emotional wounds when they feel supported on their personal path. We all have greater potential and resources than we think. A lot of the times it is difficult to access these, for various reasons. Therapy helps explore the ways we relate to ourselves and others. It is a journey towards finding or becoming yourself.

I work with/welcome a variety of clients/backgrounds, but I specialise in working with young adults and LGBTQ+community. As a queer counsellor, I understand the importance of having a space that is judgement free, where you don’t have to explain your queerness and can simply be yourself with someone who ‘get’s it’. During our sessions I provide a warm, non-judgmental, and open space, where each session is yours and you can bring whatever feels useful for you. Together, we can explore and untangle what is going on for you, deepen your understanding of yourself, and begin to figure out ways to move forward, that feel right for you.

It doesn't matter when you bloom, it matters that you do. I see psychotherapy as a kind and safe space for you to be seen and heard. We all have a core goodness and ability to flourish in our lives. Sometimes we need a little help to find our way.

Wellbeing therapy, counselling, is a strange phenomenon, as it requires you to step into yourself and express how you are feeling to a professional person who has trained in the field and is able to unravel what you are going through. I offer support, listen/hear what is being experienced with empathy using a flexible approach and work with what you bring to the sessions. I can offer a solution focused, collaborative approach which can include strategies and techniques, psycho educational materials, a creative self exploration so you are able to expand your awareness, be autonomous, develop self-efficacy to realise your goals.

My aim is to create a safe environment, where you can accept yourself fully and grow to love who you truly are.

We all need someone to tell our story to. To be witnessed in what feels true to us, and then guided to gently tune in to what is really going on.
When our hearts are open we begin to heal.
I work with clients who want to go deeper on their healing journey, or who have found that previous therapy hasn’t helped as much as they’d hoped.
I am an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist - which means I draw on elements from different therapeutic modalities, supporting you with a coherent, responsive, and ethically grounded practice, that honours your complexity.
