Counselling is a place to explore our thoughts, feelings and emotions. A chance to explore our life direction. An opportunity to pause and understand where we are and what is happening in our lives right now. It is a place to explore past and present events or traumas and a space to speak out loud thoughts that had previously been unspeakable.

These symptoms can be associated with traumatic events in childhood/adulthood; sexual abuse, personal injury, loss & bereavement, abuse, bullying & domestic violence, active service. I aim to help people recover from the effects of these stressful events on personal functioning & relationships. I also help adjustment to life challenges including health conditions & life transitions; adolescence, parenting, relationship beginning/ending & divorce, & retirement.

Welcome. I am a warm, approachable, and respectful therapist who wants to learn about you. Have you been feeling down, hopeless, or lost? Or perhaps you feel worried, confused, or overwhelmed? You could be concerned for yourself or someone in your family. Maybe something significant has happened recently, or it has slowly dawned on you that things aren't quite right. I’m happy to tell you that we can work together to better understand what’s happening to you. There is an opportunity to feel better than you do now, whether that means recovery or learning to live with how things are at the moment. Change is possible.

I have a strong belief that people are intrinsically resilient & resourceful & that under the right therapeutic conditions, emotional suffering can be reduced & fulfilling lives, lived out. My intention is to provide a safe, hopeful space for people to explore how they would like to be in the wider world & practical ways to achieve this. Since 2014 I have worked in a variety of NHS settings, using talking therapies to support individuals navigate a range of emotional & physical health difficulties of varying complexicities. These difficulties include: anxiety, low mood, trauma, chronic-illnesses, relationship and employment issues.

I am able to help clients with a wide range of issues including but not limited to anxiety and depression, confidence, self esteem, self worth, and relationship issues. I work on a weekly basis from my home or online. I work with individual adults on a one to one basis. I offer a space free of judgement where you are put at the centre of all that we do. The process is lead by you and I join you alongside your journey, never leading, but following alongside you.

I am an experienced and down to earth, HCPC-registered Chartered Clinical Psychologist based in Bristol. I offer psychological therapy for individual adults, supervision for fellow mental health professionals, and consultation and reflective practice for staff teams. I have a particular interest in helping people make sense of stressful experiences such as burnout at work, traumatic events, becoming a parent or the death of a loved one. Please feel free to get in touch if you’d like a space to think about how you adjust to a loss or change, issues around role and identity, or balancing health, work and personal life.

Life can be stressful, painful and throw us unexpected challenges. Alternatively we may feel something is missing but are unsure what. Or we may be asking ourselves Who Am I? Whatever the reason for coming to therapy, we need to feel deeply heard, understood and supported. I offer 1:1 face to face counselling and psychotherapy from my private therapy room in South Bristol, off the Wells Road. I offer a free 30 minute initial session which gives us a chance to get to know each other and decide whether we want to work together. I charge from £50 per session. Concessionary rates are offered, feel free to enquire for further details.

Life can be stressful and full of uncertainty, so as a Counselling Psychologist I will use a variety of theories from my years of training and beyond to treat you as a whole person who is more than just their struggles, insecurities and pain. Therapy can help you deeply explore your past or give you tools to cope better in the present. It can allow someone else to understand you so that eventually you can understand yourself. I am a relatable and down to earth person and my aim is to make you feel safe, listened to, valued and understood so that you can build self-awareness, self-compassion and self-acceptance.

Psychological support is about investing in you. Life can be chaotic, intense, confusing, and we can be left feeling disconnected from ourselves, our lives, and the people around us. Sometimes we just need some space to stop and think. Psychological support is also about developing a deeper understanding of yourself - who you are, what you need, what matters to you. For others, it's about building on existing skills - how to get more out of relationships, improving communication, being more assertive, boosting your sleep and performance, learning to be the best version of yourself.
