Jungian Counselling in Bristol
I work with adults and couples facing bereavement, loss and difficulties in interpersonal relationships. Loss is not limited to death; it may involve a country, home, relationship, identity, ideal, freedom or imagined future. Sometimes it appears as anxiety, panic, dreams, withdrawal or repeating patterns with others. I offer a space to explore what has been lost, what remains emotionally unfinished, and how these experiences shape attachment and relationships in the present. My dissertation received an exceptional grade of 80 and explored loss, dreams, unconscious responses to loss. It was completed at University of London.

I trained at the University of Cambridge and have extensive experience in Jungian and relational psychotherapy and counselling.
During the 25 years I've been in practice I've come to think of my way of working with individuals and couples as creating a unique space that is facilitating for recovery or growth. I draw on a wide range of techniques and approaches to fulfil this way of working. Psychotherapy and counselling with me is a confidential and non-judgemental process. I won’t tell you what to do but we will talk about whatever you need to and we will work on ways of developing a useful route through your issues, however difficult. (My practice is neurodiverse informed and kink friendly). I founded Attention Allies and remain a member.

Do you feel like: your mind is constantly racing with anxious thoughts, do you replay conversations, and feel like you just can't relax? Or perhaps you feel exhausted, disconnected and like you're just trying to keep it all together. If this sounds familiar you're not alone. Many people come to sessions feeling this way.
Sessions with me are rooted in compassion, curiosity and are a collaboration. I will work with you towards the change you'd like to see. The combination of talking therapy and art therapy, for which no experience of art-making is necessary, can support you in creating lasting change.

Feeling disconnected or isolated?
Many people struggle with loneliness, disconnection, and a lack of meaning in their lives. These experiences can be deeply rooted in a separation from the body, nature, and community—and may lead to depression, anxiety, or dissociation.
As a therapist, I offer a space to explore these challenges with compassion and curiosity. Together, we’ll consider both personal and systemic influences on your wellbeing, including the impact of power and oppression. My approach integrates practical tools with psychological insight to support your healing and reconnection.

You are holding it all together, but are you living fully? On paper, everything looks fine, but inside, you feel exhausted and disconnected by the effort of holding up the mask of 'being fine'. You wake up tense, shutting down to your partner or reacting to small things. This isn't a failure; it's an old survival strategy. As a child, you learned to suppress your needs to be safe. Now, your nervous system is stuck on high alert, keeping you small and exhausted. If you are tired of merely functioning and feel that niggling sense that you are missing out on your own life, I am here to help you come back to yourself.

Drawing from Jungian psychology, Mindfulness, Psychodynamics, I support clients in developing insight, emotional trust & regulation, particularly at the level of their deepest desires.
Many people come to therapy feeling stuck, uncertain, or disconnected from what truly matters to them. I work with individuals who are searching for clarity, meaning, and a life that reflects their deeper values. Our work could focus on understanding your inner world, untangling old patterns, and reconnecting with your authentic desires. Therapy with me is a collaborative, reflective process—one that supports you to develop a safer relationship with yourself and others. By coming back into alignment with yourself and others life can feel more aligned, purposeful, and joyful.

Life can feel overwhelming, and you may find yourself carrying more than you know how to put into words. I offer a confidential and non-judgemental space where you can slow down, talk openly, and begin to make sense of things.
Together, we can explore what you are experiencing, understand patterns that may be keeping you stuck, develop practical coping strategies, working towards greater confidence, emotional wellbeing and a stronger sense of control.

You might be here because life feels overwhelming, something doesn't feel right, or you've found yourself repeating the same patterns without knowing why.

I’m also a believer in the healing power of creativity and play. I’m happy to work with you in this way if you want to though equally there’s never any pressure to.

Jungian Counsellors
How does Jungian therapy work?
Jungian therapy, also called analytical psychology, focuses on a patient’s inner experiences and unconscious mind. Exploring a person’s unconscious mind can be achieved through several means, including the analysis of memories and dreams, and through physical exercises, such as art, dance, and word association.
How long does Jungian therapy last?
Jungian therapy is an intensive treatment type. Because its goal is to understand a person as a whole, including the unconscious aspects of them, treatment can range from months to years. Since patients learn the theory behind Jungian therapy during treatment, they can also practice its tenets throughout life after therapy sessions have completed.
Is Jungian therapy effective?
According to studies, many patients find success with Jungian therapy, and the century-old treatment has a devoted following. Researchers note that the therapy is particularly useful in improving relationships, self-esteem, anxiety, and depression. Improvements in problem areas seem to continue even after the end of Jungian therapy, as people are able to continue working on themselves using the tools they’ve learned during the treatment.
Is Jungian therapy evidence-based?
Jungian therapy is theory-based, derived from the theories of Carl Jung, a Swiss psychiatrist often called one of the fathers of psychology, along with Sigmund Freud. Jung developed his theories from observing the problems of patients, and developed many theories of how the mind works. Subsequent psychological research has determined that Jungian therapy can lead to significant improvement in most patients.
