Life can feel like you're barely keeping your head above water when you’re dealing with big changes, uncertainty, or emotional strain. It’s tempting to do nothing, convincing yourself that staying small is the safest option—but deep down, you know it’s not. It just leaves you stuck and alone. These moments creep up, showing as stress, overwhelm, fear, or anxiety that grows and can get too much. You might even notice it physically—the tension, the sleepless nights, the fatigue—or mentally through low mood, anxiety or both, as if your mind is on a loop, replaying the same worries.

I offer therapy and supervision that starts with what you bring; making no assumptions, listening with empathy and working with you towards growth and change. The client-therapist relationship is vital, as we need to trust each other in order to work together effectively (getting the right therapist for you is more important than gaining a client for me). I offer weekly, fortnightly, monthly and ad hoc sessions. Please EMAIL/TEXT as I cannot answer the phone when with clients and I don’t want to miss your call. Jan 2023 - I currently have no evening, after 6pm, sessions available

My ideal client has spent years working harder than anyone around them knew — neurodivergent people, those carrying trauma or grief, people who've reached the point where the old strategies have run out. I help by slowing down rather than fixing. By following what's present in your body and experience rather than applying a protocol. By making room for all the parts — including the ones that have never felt safe to show up anywhere. The work changes things not by correcting what's wrong but by understanding it more fully.

Has life begun to feel like a constant cycle of getting through the day, only to wake up and do it all again? Does your mind feel stuck on repeat, replaying conversations, worrying about what comes next, or struggling to switch off even when you are exhausted? Has work started to feel like a prison of stress and anxiety, while people and social situations leave you irritated, drained, or wanting to be left alone? Over time, this can begin to affect relationships, confidence, boundaries, and how you feel about yourself.

My website is talkingtherapybath and some of my many grateful clients have left positive reviews for me on Google (Maps). I have some availability for couples and individuals. I'm an integrative therapist (humanistic/existential/psychoanalytic) also influenced by the cognitive awareness that comes from mindfulness. However, my practice is influenced just as much by my own lived experience and my doubts about the efficacy of the medical model of dealing with mental health issues. I have many years experience dealing with issues such as depression, anxiety, bereavement and loss, and problems in family and other relationships.

Currently Accepting New Clients. Not everything that brings someone to therapy arrives with a clear name. Sometimes it’s a loss or a turning point; sometimes it’s quieter—an ache, a restlessness, a sense of disconnection. However it appears, I see therapy as a place to pause and pay attention—not to fix, but to meet experience more closely and listen to what it asks.

We all need someone to tell our story to. To be witnessed in what feels true to us, and then guided to gently tune in to what is really going on. When our hearts are open we begin to heal. I work with clients who want to go deeper on their healing journey, or who have found that previous therapy hasn’t helped as much as they’d hoped. I am an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist - which means I draw on elements from different therapeutic modalities, supporting you with a coherent, responsive, and ethically grounded practice, that honours your complexity.

Many of the people I work with feel anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted from putting everyone else first. They may struggle with low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, trauma, loss, burnout, or simply feel that life has become harder than it should be. Together, we create a safe, accepting space to explore what has brought them here. As we begin to understand the patterns behind their thoughts, feelings, and relationships, they often develop greater self-awareness, self-acceptance, and confidence to make choices that feel right for them.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.

How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client.

Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with therapists of a specific gender. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.

Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
