Having a fulfilling and lasting relationship is something we all aspire to, but it isn't always easy. Relationships can go wrong for all sorts of reasons and it's difficult to know where to go for help. In my work as a sex and relationship therapist, I work with both couples and individuals to not only get your relationship back on track and improve communication, but also to help it develop so that it achieves its full potential. Often, problems in a relationship can be an opportunity to develop it so get in touch with me if you need some help either to heal a crisis or to make your relationship the best it can be.

As a psychotherapist and Celtic shamanic practitioner I work with you in your deep process helping you get unstuck and work through blocks of trauma, past experiences, anger, addictions to come through to lighter energy. I also offer help with integration of psychedelic experiences. I like to help you work with your autonomy learning to trust yourself, ease the inner critic and stand up for what you need. I like working with life transitions such as needing to change jobs or parenthood. I have 20 years experience in private practice and like seeing my clients move through their difficulties to better times.

I am happy to work with anyone who has ever identified with the following Whether you are bumping up against the end of a significant relationship, a spiritual or existential crisis or something as vague as a constant state of dread and feelings of hopelessness. You may have noticed that you tend to keep on making the same mistakes over and over again, repeating patterns you feel powerless to change. You may be fearful that you are not an agent in your own life, that you are without a sense of direction and feel empty much of the time. Or you may feel the need to face the traumas and abuse that have haunted you since childhood

These are the treatment types I use, and this is what your experience will be like: Expect integrative therapy combining EMDR for trauma processing, Jungian depth psychology, somatic work, mindfulness, and relationship therapy.
You're here because something needs to change. Maybe it's anxiety that won't quiet down, a relationship that feels increasingly distant, or a nagging sense that you're not living as your authentic self. Whatever brought you here, I'm glad you're taking this step. I help people break free from patterns that keep them stuck. Using an integrative approach tailored to your needs, we'll work together to understand the unconscious defenses and coping strategies—often rooted in past or family experiences—that may have once protected you but now hold you back. In our work together, you can expect: A warm, non-judgmental space where you feel

I offer a free 50‑minute consultation in the centre of Frome or online to see if working together feels right. Building trust can take time, and meeting in person will give you the best sense of who I am. I strive to be curious, non‑judgemental, honest and direct. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, relationship difficulties, dealing with loss, trauma or at a major turning point, therapy is your space to bring what matters most. It’s true that it often involves exploring the past, but the real challenge is learning how to live more fully in the present.

I have a relaxed and informal approach, which supports your ability to be truly who you are, in a non-judgemental and confidential environment.

I'm an integrative counsellor drawing on trauma training and body-based approaches, including somatic work and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy.
Overwhelmed, shutdown & anxiety, past/ present trauma or neurodivergence. You might feel overwhelmed, shut down, or constantly on edge, and talking about it hasn’t really helped. I support trauma-affected and neurodivergent adults and teens (Autism, ADHD, OCD) who feel anxious, disconnected, or pushed beyond their capacity. Many people come to me after trying therapy and still feeling stuck. We work gently with both mind and body so you can feel calmer, safer, and more like yourself again.

I continue to be deeply interested in understanding the unique struggle each of us undergo throughout our lives, sometimes more than once. In providing a safe, facilitating environment within which a process of unfolding, unlearning and enabling new self-learning, then an exploration can take place between us. Through greater understanding of our innermost self, together we can begin to allow the possibility for change.

Finding your way here takes courage. Whether it was a moment of crisis, a quiet sense that something isn't right, or simply a feeling that you deserve more from life. Life can shake us in ways we never expected. Anxiety, grief, anger, emptiness, or a disconnection from the life force that makes us feel alive. Sometimes what we experience isn't just one feeling, but many, pulling in different directions, often at the same time. Parts of us that long to be seen, others that protect, withdraw, or fight. When these parts are in conflict or feel disconnected from each other, life can feel fragmented.

Hello and welcome. People often come to therapy when life feels overwhelming, when change is happening, or when familiar patterns keep pulling them into places of difficulty. Sometimes emotions feel too much to hold alone, or we sense that something within us is wanting to be heard. Beginning therapy can feel like a big step, but with the right support it can become a gentle and nourishing process. I’m a senior trainee in Core Process Psychotherapy and offer a safe, non-judgemental space to explore your experience with present-moment awareness and a gentle attention to what is happening in your body.

I combine mindfulness-based Core Process Psychotherapy, Somatic Experiencing, and Conscious Connected Breathwork.
I support adults navigating anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, grief, or developmental trauma. Many feel frozen, hypervigilant, or disconnected from their bodies due to old imprints and attachment wounds. They come seeking a deeper connection to themselves and a way to release held patterns. I help them move forward by gently re-patterning the nervous system. Integrating the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP)—a music-based listening therapy—we acoustically stimulate the vagus nerve to restore safety from the bottom up, building emotional resilience and inner stillness.

Somatic Counsellors
How does somatic therapy work?
Somatic therapy is a form of treatment that focuses on how the body and mind are interconnected. In this approach, physical symptoms are addressed because they may in fact signal emotional distress. Somatic therapists combine mindfulness, talk therapy, breathwork, yoga, dance, and physical manipulations of the body to help patients become more attuned to what their body is telling them.

Is EMDR a somatic therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of somatic therapy, as it incorporates mental and physical principles. EMDR involves remembering a traumatic experience while allowing one’s eyes to track a side-to-side visual stimulus from a therapist. This lateral eye movement is believed to diminish the painful power of the memory so that it can be discussed with a therapist.

Is somatic therapy evidence-based?
Somatic therapy has been researched and studied, and some forms of somatic therapy are found to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions. Because somatic therapy encompasses many techniques, some, such as EMDR and meditation, have been studied more than others.

What is somatic trauma therapy?
Somatic trauma therapy is based on the idea that when people experience trauma, they can become stuck in the “freeze” part of a “fight, flight, or freeze” response. In this state, trauma can manifest itself both mentally and physically—through tension in the muscles, anxiety, and stress. Popular forms of somatic trauma therapy include EMDR, sensorimotor therapy, and somatic experiencing.
