Hi, I am a psychodynamic counsellor, dual accredited by British Psychoanalytic Council and BACP. I work both online and in-person from my central practice in Bath.
Often starting counselling can be unsettling. Maybe you are experiencing difficulties in your relationships with others or yourself, or maybe you are in a crisis. It can be enormously helpful to share what’s going on with someone else, someone who’s trained to look at things differently and who can help you process your thoughts and feelings. This in itself can offer relief from difficult feelings and thoughts and help you move forward in life.

I believe in the transformative power of being in relationships where we feel truly seen and understood . Over time, that kind of connection can help us feel more at home in ourselves.
Whether we're exploring something specific or a more general sense of feeling stuck or overwhelmed, sessions are shaped by what the client brings—there's no right place to start. Wherever we begin, the work has a way of unfolding toward what matters most. By allowing time and attention for what's difficult to articulate, we can make room for new ways of relating to ourselves and our experience.

My work is with both individuals and couples. The skill-sets and experience I bring to therapy draw off my Systemic Practice, honing the skills of Internal Family System (IFS), plus Intimacy from the Inside Out (IFIO), for couples. These approaches are well known to bring about the transformative qualities and resources that exist inside people. These approaches are known to make difficult experiences possible, such as healing trauma, phobia or anxiety. I’ve learned this is possible through the evidence of transformations that I’ve witnessed in my practice and what my clients feedback.

Making the decision to come to counselling may seem daunting to you. You may have a specific issue you want to talk about or you may just have a feeling that something isn't right.

When we have a problem, we often want to talk to someone who won’t judge us. It can be tough to open up to friends or family because we might worry about what they’ll think or fear upsetting them. This can make it hard to be completely honest and fully understand what’s going on. Seeing a psychotherapist gives you a chance to build a safe, trusting relationship with someone who can offer an unbiased perspective. The bond between the therapist and client can be really important in helping us tap into our own strengths to find solutions or make changes.

Life is messy and throws us off course. We experience pain, stress and anxiety for many reasons - life events, work issues, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, or feelings of low self-esteem that makes you feel stuck. We may simply feel adrift, struggling to find meaning and our place in the world. Confronting and solving problems can be a painful process which many of us avoid. Avoidance can result in greater pain and the inability to flourish both mentally and spiritually, but by working together to fully understand your issues and goals we can work towards a more fulfilled life.

My approach centres on understanding you as an individual and seeking to build a relationship of trust with you over time. We’ll work at your pace, and with what you want to address. It depends on you but our work together might include: looking at current issues in your life from an alternative perspective; noticing how how patterns learnt in early life might be affecting you now; connecting into feelings that perhaps you have been avoiding; expressing thoughts or emotions you haven’t been able to share and facing issues from your past that have felt too tough to confront previously when, and if, it feels right.
