About me
I’m Addy, a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and Coach based in Bournemouth. I truly believe that seeking support takes great courage, and I’m here to help you navigate the challenges you are facing. Our perceptions and judgements are shaped by our own experiences; by bringing the unconscious into the conscious we can start to recognise our patterns and work towards meaningful, positive change.
I have experience in working with OCD, depression, anxiety, stress, relationship issues, low self esteem, bereavement, identity and trauma.
Our therapeutic work can help you understand and embrace your unique experiences, identities, and challenges. I work with both individuals and couples, fostering insight and connection in personal and relational dynamics.
I also offer creative approaches to therapeutic work, accommodating in-person sessions or the convenience of online work. As a relational therapist, I pay attention to patterns of behaviour and believe the therapeutic relationship is a powerful catalyst for healing and growth.
As a therapist, I acknowledge the impact of societal structures, cultural norms, and power dynamics on your experiences and wellbeing. By examining these factors, I can better understand how they shape your life. This approach helps create a more inclusive and empowering therapeutic alliance.

I have been working as a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor since 2022 in various settings including Lewis Manning providing counselling for people who are bereaved and for those who are experiencing life limiting illnesses and UK Counselling Network working with a range of issues including trauma and anxiety and depression.
