I offer therapy in person, from a light and airy, yet cosy and inviting room.
Our true nature is free, flowing, wild and energetic. Childhood traumas create defences, because our survival instinct was so strong it protected us at all costs. The cost is our experience now, disconnection from our-self, our body, others, life. Resulting in difficult relationships, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression and self harming behaviors. The decision to come to therapy is a brave one, it is a statement to yourself and the Universe that you no longer want to just survive, but to live with more ease, connection and aliveness. The therapeutic relationship encourages this life force energy, giving space for wholeness to grow.

I'm happy to work in person and online with adults of all ages and histories.
Core Process psychotherapy is the original mindfulness based psychotherapy training in the UK. It brings together Western developmental psychology and neuroscience with Buddhist psychology and mindful awareness practice. It's also a trauma-informed practice, informed by Peter Levine's somatic work and Stephen Porges' Polyvagal Theory.

What do most of us desire beneath it all? To feel good, whole and comfortable within ourselves and in the relationships around us. That state of peaceful being resides within all of us but often past traumas and challenging life experiences have shaped who we have become, influencing the story of who we now think we are. These beliefs often disconnect us from our true, best selves. Trauma happens, and often feelings of shame result. Living our lives wishing bad events never happened leave us feeling powerless but incorporating our past experiences in a way that does not debilitate, permits us to live with them, not ruled by them.

I offer in person sessions from my therapy room in Bradford-on-Avon and currently have some availability on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
My approach centres on understanding you as an individual and seeking to build a relationship of trust with you over time. We’ll work at your pace, and with what you want to address. It depends on you but our work together might include: looking at current issues in your life from an alternative perspective; noticing how how patterns learnt in early life might be affecting you now; connecting into feelings that perhaps you have been avoiding; expressing thoughts or emotions you haven’t been able to share and facing issues from your past that have felt too tough to confront previously when, and if, it feels right.

We can all struggle and sometimes it's difficult to stop and notice what’s not working for us. We can fall into repeating cycles of damaging or unhelpful habits, behaviors, and relationships. We can hold a negative belief system about ourselves which impacts our confidence and forms low self esteem. So if you feel like you’re surviving, not thriving; if you're feeling anxious & have low mood / depression; if you're having intrusive thoughts or wondering if you're experiencing OCD; if you're finding your work or home life stressful; if you’re dealing with family or relationship issues; if you're just not happy...I can help!

I offer in person (£52), online and telephone counselling (£50) .
We all have a unique history that shapes us and our lives. Life is all about change and transition. Transitioning from one age and stage to another, from childhood to old age. These inevitable transitions bring change for example, marriage/relationships, friendships, pregnancy/parenting, career change/loss, bereavement, and illness.
Although change is inevitable it is not always easy, so exploring your thoughts and feelings about whatever the situation is now or in the past, gives you space to process, understand the impact for you, with the opportunity for new insights and perspectives allowing you to move forward more positively.

As a qualified Humanistic and Integrative counsellor, if you choose to work with me I will value your uniqueness, listen to you and witness your story without judgement. At times, we may all need to reach out and seek help in our life-journeys. We may need help to find out how we really feel and who we really are or would like to be, and feel more empowered. My charges range from £30 to £70 per session depending on individual financial circumstances.

The people I work with are seeking clarity, healing, and a deeper connection with themselves. They may struggle with trauma, self-doubt, or perfectionism, feeling torn between wanting change and fearing it. Tired of repeating the same emotional patterns, they want to understand themselves, heal past wounds, and move forward with confidence. More than just symptom relief, they seek growth, self-trust, and emotional freedom, with the goal of living a life of purpose, balance, and fulfillment.

Life can sometimes feel harder than it needs to. You might be struggling with anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns that don’t make sense. Relationships can feel challenging—maybe you unintentionally push people away, or you find yourself people-pleasing to keep the peace. Certain situations might leave you feeling on edge, disconnected, or emotionally charged, but you're unsure why.
You may have been through tough experiences—maybe a difficult childhood, a painful breakup, a stressful job, or a situation that left you feeling powerless. You might not label it as “trauma,” but something just feels off.

Life events can occasionally leave us overwhelmed, feeling lost and out of control. This can be the root cause of anxiety, depression and destructive behaviours, and at these times we sometimes need a little help to get us back on the right pathway, which is where I can help. As well as unburdening, sharing your experiences during counselling can help to reconnect with your real core self and accept the realities of life. I can support you while we explore your past and present, getting in touch with your authentic self and building your resilience for the future.

I am a warm hearted, open-minded individual who understands how difficult taking the first steps into counselling can sometimes be. Many people have 'life events' that bring them to counselling such as relationship breakdown, bereavement, or redundancy. Often feelings that accompany these life events can lead to depression and anxiety. Or it may be that suppressed or undesired feelings keep recurring, leading to painful repeating patterns of behavior or outcomes in your life. My role in your therapeutic journey is to facilitate your awareness, to gently challenge perspective where appropriate and to walk alongside you at your pace.

You might be struggling with something difficult in the here and now, such as the loss of a loved one, or the breakdown of a relationship. Or perhaps you’re aware of vague, underlying feelings of sadness, anxiety or anger. Maybe you feel trapped in a cycle of repeated disappointments with partners, friends and careers and don’t know why. Whether you know what the problem is, or even if you don’t, therapy can help. It’s an opportunity to explore yourself; to examine feelings, thoughts and motivations and gain understanding - the first step towards navigating a different, happier course.

Do you feel constantly on edge, anxious, burnt out or disconnected? Life can be hard, and the body remembers past pain and traumas that you may be trying to avoid. Perhaps you keep yourself busy and distracted or focus all your energy on helping other people but you've got to the stage when you're not sure who you are anymore and just want to feel better than this? Whilst talking therapy can be a powerful and transformative way to understand your thoughts and emotions, it isn’t always enough to heal what is stored in your body, but embodied therapy can help.
