I am a Member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy. I am a member of the Triratna Buddhist Order (ex-Western Buddihst Order) and teach Buddhist meditation classes and retreats in and around Bristol.

    Further Information

    My counselling style draws from all of my qualifications and interests - it is very client-centred. I encourage clients to shape and direct sessions themselves in order to create a safe and creative space.
