You may be seeking counselling to make sense of thoughts or feelings, or look at relationships. Perhaps you're struggling with choices, feeling stuck or noticing an unhelpful pattern or past trauma? Above all, you may want something to change. I get how tough it can be to open up. With experience of working with people from a range of ethnic and class backgrounds, faiths, ages and sexualities I aim to build a relationship of trust. Welcoming and getting curious about all parts of you - such as a vulnerable, critical or rebellious part - can build connection to a more whole and vital sense of your Self, opening up more possibilities.

I am a UKCP registered Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapist-in-Training in my fifth year of study at the Bath Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling (BCPC). I work in Clifton in Bristol and offer affordable therapy to adults in private practice. For me, psychotherapy is largely about creating more self-acceptance. This can look different for different people, but in general it will involve a compassionate and empathic exploration of past experiences, and how they might interact with our present circumstances, to see how each may be creating blocks in our lives from a healthy expression of our feelings.

I am currently offering in person, online video and telephone counselling by appointment. If you are currently looking for a counsellor it may well be that you have reached a point of change. You can no longer put up with the current situation you feel you are in. You may be suffering anxious feelings or low mood, or be struggling with anger and frustration, or any number of other concerns. These are feelings that we all experience from time to time, but they can be limiting and have an effect on our general happiness and satisfaction with life.

One of the biggest myths in life is that we are meant to be happy. In reality: we have evolved to have a wide range of emotions that promote survival. The more we wish to rid ourselves of unwanted emotions, the more we struggle. My aim is to support you to be compassionate to yourself: understand that the nature of life and being human is hard, and that we each have complex histories that have led to present day behaviours functioning to protect the self and avoid danger. However, these patterns of avoidance can interfere with our ability to live our best and most meaningful lives.

Codependency Counsellors

What therapy types help with codependency problems?

Both couples and family therapy and cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) can help with the relationship difficulties referred to as codependency. Such problems typically include inappropriate feelings of responsibility for a loved one’s destructive behavior, irrational patterns of thinking about such behavior, and family interaction patterns in which the needs of one troubled member override the needs of others in a household.

What happens in therapy for codependency?

Spouses and family members learn and practice how to interact and support each other in a healthy way without sacrificing their own needs or well-being. They learn the limits of their responsibility for their loved ones and correct faulty patterns of thinking and feeling that underlie codependent behavior. Individuals may be encouraged to nurture an array of social relationships and to cultivate their own talents and interests so that they develop a healthy sense of self outside the family.

How does therapy help a person or couple overcome codependency?

Therapy helps people establish healthy ways of being in a relationship. Spouses and family members learn how to nurture and support one another without sacrificing their own needs or allowing the needs of one person to dominate the dynamic. Individuals learn how to say no and set boundaries, and how to maintain their own identity and self-esteem. Therapy helps people understand that they are not responsible for the feelings and actions of others. It also helps individuals deal with the turbulence that can come from living with a person suffering from such conditions as substance abuse and mental illness.

What is the goal of therapy for codependency?

One goal of therapy for codependency is to alleviate feelings of responsibility for and correct irrational patterns of thinking about loved ones whose behavioral problems override the needs of others in a household. Therapy helps people establish healthy boundaries of behavior and speak up for their own needs in a relationship. In addition, people learn how to maintain a healthy relationship, one in which both parties give and receive equally and are able to retain their own identity.
