10 Liberty Gardens Caledonian Road Bristol BS1
I offer confidential, compassionate counselling and therapy in Bristol, as well as online therapy across the UK. I work with individuals experiencing a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship problems, addiction, behavioural patterns, stress, burnout and difficulties finding balance between work and life. My background spans both therapy and business, giving me a broad understanding of the pressures, expectations and challenges that can affect our mental health and relationships.
Perhaps you are successful professionally but struggling personally. Maybe work has started to take over your life, leaving little space for relationships, family, rest or yourself. Or you may feel caught in patterns of behaviour that you understand intellectually but find difficult to change.
Every therapeutic relationship is unique. I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we work together at your pace, focusing on what feels safe, useful and manageable for you. Whether you are looking for short-term counselling for a specific issue or longer-term, open-ended therapy, we can find an approach that works for you.

Through my therapy and business career, I've experienced a few of life's twists and turns. I apply this in my daily counselling practice to help others develop, overcome challenges, and find their way. I believe that conditions such as anxiety, feeling stuck, depression, low self-esteem, relationships, and addictive behaviour signal that something is preventing us from thriving.
