About me

Do you feel low or anxious? Are you suffering from a loss (relationship, bereavement or job) which you are finding hard to deal with? Are you feeling generally overwhelmed or confused by your feelings?

Sometimes life doesn't go quite how we have planned and events happen which can leave us feeling vulnerable emotionally. This in turn can impact on our self esteem, relationships and on our general health. It can be helpful to work through these feelings with someone outside of family and friends.

I am a fully qualified, BACP accredited counsellor and a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP Accred). I offer one-to-one support in coping with issues such as stress, low self-esteem, depression, bereavement, eating disorders, anxiety and relationships.

I offer a welcoming, supportive and confidential space in central Bath in which you are free to discuss any problems in your life. I enjoy working in collaboration with you to explore the best way for you to move forward in your life and I offer qualities of warmth and compassion as well as gentle challenge.

My experience includes working for Cotswold Counselling, a general counselling agency, Bath Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling and as a befriender for The Lullaby Trust (formerly FSID).

I enjoy working with a variety of different issues and have a special interest in anxiety, depression, pre- and post-natal issues and bereavement.

Whatever is troubling you, getting in touch will offer you the opportunity to decide whether counselling could help. Please feel welcome to phone or email me to find out further information about counselling. Alternatively you can make an initial assessment appointment and we can discuss together how counselling may be helpful to you.
