About me
I am an experienced Psychotherapist, Counsellor and Supervisor working for the NHS, Gloucestershire Occupational Health and in private practice, in the Cotwolds. I provide a calm and secure place for personal reflection- a space to work through difficulties and problems, discretely and in a beautiful rural setting.
I am an Integrative therapist - this means I allow the individuals needs to inform the way in which we work together. I do pay special attention to the way relationships from the past impact on our lives, as well as finding practical ways of coping with stressful and challenging situations.
As well as my private practice I am a tutor on the MA programme at Bath Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling.

As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
