Counsellor Profile

I began my training after experiencing the enormous benefits of psychotherapy during a very challenging and painful period in my life. A good therapist, and regular sessions over some time, helped me to turn my life around. That was in 1989, and for the last 15 years I have been working as a psychotherapist in a wide variety of settings. These include natural health centres, occupational health, a Bristol- based charity, and private practice.

The therapeutic relationship that the client and therapist engage in can provide a secure base from which difficulty of all sorts can be explored and understood. Difficulty may include, for instance, depression, loss, anxiety, obsessive difficulties, eating problems, parenting and relationship issues, sexuality, trauma, chaotic or disturbing feelings and experiences, work stress, and feeling that your life is out of control.

Talking about things in a confidential setting can help to relieve difficult feelings, and the awareness gained can help you to make creative choices and move on with your life.

I work in the centre of Bristol, easily accessed by bus, and with ample parking for cars.

I work with individuals in both short and longer term therapy and counselling.

I am particularly experienced in working with the legacy of abuse and trauma, relationship issues, loss, depression and anxiety.

I respect the individual's unique experience and treat all information with confidentiality.

Please feel free to contact me by phone (0117 954 1843 - dedicated line) or email if you would like to find out more, or to arrange an initial session. I will respond to your enquiry as quickly as possible.
