About me

I offer counselling to adults and couples in Bath and the surrounding area.

Clients come to me with a wide range of experiences, including stress, anxiety, depression, loss and bereavement, relationship difficulties (past or present), family dynamics, and periods of feeling stuck or overwhelmed. I also support couples who are navigating communication challenges, recurring conflict, emotional distance, or the impact of life transitions on their relationship.

As a Person‑Centred Therapist, I am committed to creating a safe, non‑judgmental, and empathetic space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. My role is to offer presence, attunement, and gentle curiosity—supporting you to gain insight into your inner world and develop the resources needed to live in a way that feels authentic and meaningful.

I believe deeply in each person’s capacity for growth, change, and self‑actualisation. Rather than offering advice or solutions, I work collaboratively with you to help you connect with your own wisdom and inner resilience. Through active listening, unconditional positive regard, and reflective feedback, I support you in developing greater self‑awareness, self‑acceptance, and self‑esteem.

Couples Therapy

In couples work, I offer a calm and balanced space where both partners can feel heard and understood. Together, we explore the patterns that shape your relationship—how you communicate, how you respond to one another, and how past experiences may be influencing the present. My approach is gentle, relational, and grounded in empathy, helping you slow down, reconnect, and move towards clearer communication, deeper understanding, and renewed emotional connection.

Whether you are seeking support as an individual or as a couple, I am here to help. If you’re ready to begin a process of self‑discovery, healing, and growth, I invite you to get in touch and explore how therapy may support you at this point in your life.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

Accredited register membership

Accredited Register Scheme

The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
