M Scott Peck wrote in the "Road Less Travelled" ... "Life is difficult". We all have times when we get stuck, we're overwhelmed, not sure where to turn and loose sleep. During these periods, we need some help, some me time with someone who is going to listen, not judge and offer them the support they need, in order to develop insights into "why this is happening" and to help them find the solutions to make a change, to get to a happier place.

Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, anxious, low, or unsure why they react the way they do. You may want space to breathe, feel understood, and explore your experiences safely. You might be seeking clarity, steadiness, or new ways of coping. You may want to understand yourself better, break old patterns, or feel more grounded and connected. Therapy offers support so you don’t have to navigate any of this alone.

My approach to Counselling is Integrative, drawing from Psychodynamic and Humanistic model.
I offer a safe and confidential space where you will have the chance to share your problems, your difficult feelings, your pain and your life story. Talking about our life honestly and openly, with an empathic and non-judgemental therapist can be a deeply healing process. Having a space where we can be fully ourselves, where we’re invited to slow down, breathe and investigate our inner world and our emotions is necessary, today, more than ever. We live busy lives and for many, it is difficult to stop and notice, most of the time, what is going on inside us. As we reconnect to our feelings and our essence there is an immediate sense

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 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.

My modality is predominantly transpersonal, bringing a psychodynamic lens as well.
I have 30 years experience in psychology from academic study, work psychology and now private practice. Finding a therapist can feel like a minefield. Most important is someone to talk to that you feel comfortable with, and who can of course help. I understand how confusing and nerve-wracking it can be to take the first step. I provide clients with a supportive space in which to unpack things. I will help you to get a better handle on what is happening for you. I have experience of working with anxiety, depression, loss and bereavement, childhood trauma, midlife issues, neurodivergence as well as difficulty understanding feelings.

Psychodynamic Counsellors
Is psychodynamic therapy evidence-based?
Studies have found psychodynamic therapy to be effective in treating conditions like social anxiety, eating disorders, chronic pain, some personality disorders, and depression; indeed, some studies have found it to be just as effective as CBT or medication. What’s more, several studies have found that the benefits of psychodynamic therapy tend to endure—even grow—long after treatment has ended.

How long does psychodynamic therapy last?
Unlike CBT and other more structured forms of therapy, psychodynamic therapy tends to be open-ended and may not be limited to a set number of sessions. It is common for clients to be in therapy for a year or longer and to see their therapist one to three times a week, though the exact schedule and timeline may vary depending on a client’s challenges and progress. However, brief psychodynamic therapy is available, which tends to be more goal-oriented and typically unfolds over 16 to 30 sessions.

Does psychodynamic therapy work?
Research finds that psychodynamic therapy can help someone manage or reduce symptoms of diagnosable mental health conditions like depression or anxiety. The modality may also offer a range of benefits that are harder to measure but just as valuable—such as increased self-worth or healthier relationships. While no therapy type will work for everyone, research and anecdotal evidence suggest that psychodynamic therapy can be highly effective.

What are the limitations of psychodynamic therapy?
Some meta-analyses have concluded that there is little evidence to suggest that psychodynamic therapy can effectively treat certain mental health conditions such as PTSD, OCD, or psychosis, though it is sometimes used to do so. More broadly, the open-ended, free-association structure of psychodynamic therapy may be frustrating for clients who prefer a more structured, time-limited, or goal-oriented approach.
