Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, afraid or anxious? I provide a friendly and safe space where you can talk through your worries at your own pace. I work in person, online and on the telephone, giving you more options to fit sessions in with your day. I can help you through experiences such as difficult family relationships, trauma, and self doubt. Counselling can help you to process anxiety, stress, fear, anger and guilt. We can work to reduce anxiety, increase self-esteem, move forward after abuse, strengthen boundaries, and help you learn to trust and care for yourself.

Are you looking to improve yourself and change your life? Are you seeking to shift the way you perceive yourself and develop healthier relationships with others?

Do you tend to overthink your responses during conversations? Do you exert significant effort to please others or feel compelled to attain perfection? Do you ever experience feelings of not belonging or believing you shouldn't exist? Are you facing challenging relationships with partners and parents?

Life can be really challenging and there are times when we can all feel overwhelmed. I offer a confidential, non-judgmental and compassionate space to explore the challenges you are facing. I am trained as an integrative therapist, which means I draw from a range of counselling approaches including Psychodynamic, Person-centred, Gestalt and Internal Family Systems. As each person is unique, I aim to listen and develop a way of working together that fits with your individual needs.

Perhaps you are struggling to communicate your needs within a particular relationship in your life; or feel “stuck” in repetitive communication patterns with others. Perhaps you have been struggling with your own mental health, and are noticing how this is impacted by, and impacts upon your position in certain close relationships. As an individual, couple, or family , I can explore with you different ways of understanding and communicating about those things which may be troubling you. I believe that therapy can help us to tap into our own resources and solutions to problems which maybe feel more difficult to discover alone.

Welcome to my Counselling & Psychotherapy Service in Bristol and Cheltenham. I am an experienced and fully accredited Psychotherapist (MA Dip, Hip) and UKCP registered. I see clients with a range of issues on both a long term and short-term basis. This includes: Anxiety, Depression, Low Self-Esteem, Work Related Stress and Relationship difficulties too early childhood trauma. Also as a Qualified Social Worker I have many years practice of supporting client's through adverse experiences in their lives.

I have worked as a counsellor for many years and am both passionate and motivated as I was in the beginning. I am particularly passionate about working people who have low self-esteem as I believe this covers so many areas/issues in life. As a woman in my 50’s with various life experience this allows me to empathise and have compasion for others. Having come from a multi-cultural family with Irish roots this gives me a greater understanding of cultural diversity and a sense of belonging. I am a spiritual person who has an interest in mindfulness and Yoga.

Sometimes difficulties can have a major impact on our well-being, relationships or work. Maybe friends and family can offer some support but we may also choose to see a qualified and experienced practitioner, who can provide a safe space in which to work with whatever is going on for us. I have a wide range of experience, which includes working in an NHS psychology department, at university as Associate Lecturer, in a GP practice as a Lead Therapist and Supervisor, delivering Integrative Therapy, using Psychodynamic and Person-Centred approaches, CBT and CFT (Compassion-Focussed Therapy) to NHS services and in private practice.

Welcome to Repertoire Counselling. At a certain point life feels overwhelming, we struggle to carry and understand the weight of our feelings, leading us to feel lost, stuck, alone, anxious, angry and fighting through life all by ourselves. My journey to becoming a therapist emerged out of painful experiences, which I am grateful because I love helping my clients to navigate their way through all that life has to throw at them. Talking to someone outside of your situation, who is not a family member or a friend can help in gaining relief, self-understanding, self-acceptance and help to build resilience and envision a way forward.

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.
