You don’t have to keep repeating the same relationship patterns. If you find yourself withdrawing, people-pleasing or reacting in ways you later regret, it can leave you feeling misunderstood, lonely or frustrated with yourself. You may long for closeness yet feel overwhelmed by it, struggle to trust others or feel safest at a distance while knowing something important is missing. These patterns may have once protected you — but now they limit what’s possible. With the right therapy, they can shift, bringing real emotional change, greater security and more satisfying relationships.
My approach is active, focused and experiential. I primarily use ISTDP — an evidence-based method that helps people understand and change the emotional patterns driving difficulties in relationships. Rather than relying on insight alone, we pay close attention to what happens in the moment so that long-standing patterns can shift at their source.
If you're ready to feel more secure, connected and at ease — both with yourself and others — therapy can help. I offer sessions online and in person in Bath, with no current waiting list. You’re welcome to book a free 15-minute chat to explore whether working together feels right for you.

I specialise in low self-esteem and relationship difficulties, including destructive, avoidant and stuck patterns.

I use an intensive, emotion-focussed therapy (ISTDP), informed by psychosynthesis. Sessions are active and purposeful. We work directly with the emotional patterns driving relationship difficulties, staying with what emerges in the moment. Anxiety is carefully regulated. We foster meaningful, lasting change rather than insight alone.
