About me
I'm a psychodynamic therapist and clinical supervisor working in Bath, Bristol, and online. I offer a quiet, confidential space where you can begin to make sense of what's troubling you — without pressure or judgement.
Much of what brings people to therapy has its roots in earlier experiences: the relationships we grew up in, the ways we learned to cope, the parts of ourselves we've kept hidden. My work is about gently exploring those patterns together, so that over time, things can begin to feel different.
I work with adults facing a wide range of difficulties — anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship struggles, trauma, grief, and questions of identity and meaning. I'm deeply committed to inclusive practice and warmly welcome clients from the global majority, neurodivergent individuals, and those who may not always have felt seen or understood in therapeutic settings.
All of my work is trauma-informed, shaped by my experience working in a specialist trauma centre. Whether or not trauma is the presenting difficulty, I bring an awareness of how overwhelming experiences live in the body and relationships, and how important it is to feel safe before anything else.
Alongside my therapy work, I offer clinical supervision to qualified and trainee therapists, drawing on my training with the Society of Analytical Psychology. also work with organisations, supporting teams and leaders to reflect on the relational and emotional dimensions of their work.
Training, qualifications & experience
Prior to training as a therapist and supervisor, I trained and worked in mental health services, including mental health charities, drug and alcohol services, and for the NHS. This has provided me with 25 years experience working with people seeking emotional resolution.
In addition to my private practice, I also work in a specialist trauma service.

Member organisations
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
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).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Further information
Once you contact me, I will offer you one or two initial consultations for us to make sure we can work together to improve your current situation. Sessions are then weekly, at the same time and day each week. For some people, twice-weekly sessions can be beneficial, but for others, once-weekly work is the better choice.
I work in central Bath and Clifton Village, in beautiful and confidential settings. I can also offer private and secure sessions online.
