About me

Individual Therapy

I am a qualified psychotherapist, registered with UKCP and experienced in working with people to overcome various emotional difficulties and mental health issues. Weekly sessions are confidential and non-judgmental. I use a range of therapeutic models, offering thoughtful support with warmth, creativity and insight.

Whether you're experiencing relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety, loss of direction, feeling isolated, navigating a transition or searching for meaning in your life, a course of individual psychotherapy can be a life-changing experience. During each session I will offer you the chance to talk about your experiences and help you to foster and facilitate a genuine interest in yourself. During therapy you can learn how to cope with your feelings, set appropriate boundaries and experience a growing resilience.

Couples Therapy

I also work with couples who are experiencing something that threatens to destroy their relationship. Often, but not always, working through the difficulties that have been created together can bring a deepening union and a new level of intimacy not previously experienced. Couples therapy can give you the space and safety to explore each others feelings so that you can honour your relationship, whether or not you decide to stay together or not. If you would like to give it a try, it's a good idea to come for an initial session with a view to deciding whether this is something, as a couple, you would like to pursue.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am a qualified psychotherapist, working with individuals and couples, in private practice and registered with UKCP (UK Council for Psychotherapy). I have an MA and Diploma in Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy from Middlesex University and BCPC (Bath Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling) respectively, have a Certificate in Relational Couples Therapy from Relational-Psychotherapy, Bath and have furthered my study of the couple relationship with Tavistock Relationships, London. As well as working in private practice, I teach and supervise trainee psychotherapists at BCPC on the Psychotherapy MA/Diploma course and offer supervision to other therapists. Past qualifications include a BA (Hons.) in English from Royal Holloway, University of London.
