I am a trainee psychotherapist in my final year. I have been offering low cost psychotherapy to my clients in Bristol for the last three years. Particular areas of interest/experience include living with chronic ill-health and supporting those who are living with ill health, the challenges face by neurodivergent people, LQBTQ+ life and non-traditional models of relationship. I love working with a broad and diverse range of clients in my practice and enjoy discovering how to best support every new client, irrespective of their background, life experiences or presenting issue(s).

Looking for a therapist can be an overwhelming experience; however, it is already a good step in your journey. You may be needing to be listened to or seeking support for a particular challenge. Emotional pain and mental distress need a space to be explored and processed and therapy can offer a safe environment for this.Counseling and psychotherapy can provide an opportunity to be in a safe space where you can be listened to by someone who is unbiased and non-judgmental. By sharing your story and your experiences, and building trust and openness in the relationship with your therapist, we can attempt to gain deeper understanding.

I am an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapists based in Bristol and online. I work relationally which means creating a warm, honest relationship where you feel comfortable to be yourself and explore what is really going on for you. We can often carry around grief, shame, or self-doubt that has been built up over a time… this often doesn’t belong to us… instead it has been given by family, relationships, society, culture etc… and can result in unhealthy behaviours/relationships. Through therapy we can untangle what is ours from what belongs to others and give a voice to the authentic self hidden within!

Choosing a therapist can be a stressful process, and it's difficult to decide which kind of therapy to try. Many people find it helpful to work with a therapist who has trained in more than one therapy, who can switch to a different therapy when needed, and who can tailor sessions according to your needs. You can have a phone consultation with me to discuss what you are looking for and ask questions. 16 years experience in supporting neurodivergent clients (with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia or other difficulties) led me to further training in autism, and specialised CBT and ACT for ADHD and emotional regulation problems.

Sometimes life can begin to feel challenging and painful, impacting your inner and outer world. This could be instigated by past traumas, current distressing circumstances or a long-standing mental health condition. Maybe you cannot identify what feels out of place but know that you would like support to explore these emotions and work towards a place of healing. The prospect of entering into therapy can feel like an overwhelming decision, especially in choosing what will best suit your needs. I believe the therapeutic relationship is of the utmost importance, enabling trust and respect, ultimately resulting in lasting change.

Counselling is a safe space where you can talk about problems and process difficult emotions without shame or judgement. We often feel that we should be able to deal with our problems without others help. But it is often through sharing and opening up to others, that we can find the way to heal ourselves. Trauma, mental or emotional problems, disconnect us from ourselves and others. Sharing our pain and our story (in a relationship where it is held safely) can allow us to value, respect and have compassion for all parts of ourselves. This re-integration unblocks our creative/healing potential and our sense of purpose and meaning.

I have experience working with addictive behaviours and thought patterns, depression, anxiety, self esteem, big life changes/transitions/stages of life issues and bereavement/loss. I offer a free 30 minute session where we can discuss your needs/preferences and decide if we want to work together.

I am a fully qualified Integrative Therapist. I am also a registered member of the BACP. I believe we are all works in progress, and we’re never really "done". We can be in and out of therapy several times in our lives, for different reasons. Humans are incredibly complex and fascinating beings. Their resilience to life events, strength in adversity and ability to cope, change and grow, never ceases to amaze me. In my practice I am grounded, authentic, calm and down to earth. I have experience of working with grief, anxiety, depression, life stages, self-esteem, masculinity, abusive relationships and trauma.

Most of us are taught from an early age that we should hide parts of ourselves to get by. As the person we are pulls away from the person we’re told we should be, we’re left with lingering distress and a struggle to feel truly connected and at home within ourselves. I believe the more we understand, accept and nurture ourselves, the more equipped to find the connection, community and purpose we’re longing for. Perhaps you feel that sense of struggle, or are feeling unmoored from the person you really are. Perhaps you're looking for support as you grow and find your way.
