Profile

I work in Montpelier, Bristol and I have daytime and evening availability.

I am a qualified counsellor, specialising in Emotional Therapy which is a humanistic counselling model. It is client led - the sessions go at the client's pace and provide a safe, non judgmental environment for exploring the issues that are troubling you.

Emotional Therapy is not about giving advice - but about giving time and space for reflection and understanding ourselves better.

I believe that with increasing confidence and self awareness, we can find the answers to the questions that we have, and learn to make the right choices for ourselves. This enables us to feel confident being ourselves.

Emotional Therapy is very effective in dealing with anxiety, depression, low self esteem, relationship or family problems, eating disorders and abuse.

I like to meet with prospective clients and talk about why you are thinking of counselling - and why now. I offer a free 20-30 minute consultation to discuss this and to see if we are happy to work together. If we are happy to proceed, then together we can discuss the best way forward - working together for either short or long term counselling.

It is helpful to meet regularly for a certain period of time and then to have a review and see how the sessions are going for you, and to look at what is helpful, and what may not be.

It is really useful to have a final session together when the time feels right to end the counselling sessions - so that our work has a proper ending - which is often something that is missing in our lives.

Training, Qualifications & Experience

I trained with the Foundation for Emotional Therapy and am a practising member. The Foundation is affiliated to the BCMA and I adhere to their codes of conduct. I undertake continuing professional development and have regular supervision.

I also have a Diploma in Creative Writing for Therapeutic Purposes from the University of Bristol. Writing, or other forms of creative expression, can be very useful in the therapeutic process. Writing can help clients extend the therapeutic process and support you between sessions.

    I also work with individuals or couples experiencing fertility related issues, or undergoing fertility treatment. Having been on a lengthy infertility journey myself I know how distressing it can be and have experience of the issues that couples face. I found counselling was a great help and support to me when I was experiencing infertility.

    Fees

    I am happy to offer a free initial 20-30 minute consultation so that we can meet face to face and see if we can work together. For a full hour session I charge £40 for individuals and £60 for couples. I have some concessionary rates available.
