About me
You might be holding everything together on the outside while feeling exhausted, overwhelmed or in deep distress on the inside. Whether you’re dealing with ongoing stress, a recent crisis, long‑term emotional pain, trauma or complex experiences from your past, you do not have to navigate it alone. Many people I work with have been carrying more than anyone realises.
I am a BACP‑registered Psychosynthesis Counsellor based in Wiltshire, offering a warm, steady space where you do not have to manage everything on your own. Psychosynthesis isn’t widely available in Wiltshire, and it offers a gentle, depth‑oriented way of working that some people find especially supportive. My approach is gentle and relational, creating a supportive connection where you can talk openly and feel understood.
People come to me with a wide range of experiences, including anxiety, overwhelm, trauma, long‑held emotional pain and complex histories that can feel hard to untangle alone. Together, we explore what hurts, what has been held inside, and find ways for the pain to feel less consuming.
I offer in‑person sessions in Bradford on Avon and Devizes.
I also work with clients in Trowbridge and Chippenham, and I offer online sessions for those who prefer to meet remotely.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a BACP‑registered Psychosynthesis Counsellor with integrative, relational training. My experience includes supporting people through trauma and the complex emotional or relational patterns that can shape how we cope, connect and feel about ourselves. I have worked with many people navigating grief, loss, difficult dynamics and long‑held emotional pain, offering a steady, warm space to explore what has felt too much to hold alone.
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
Our first session is a gentle opportunity for us to begin getting to know one another. I’ll invite you to share what’s brought you to therapy and what you hope to explore or gain from our time together.
I’ll gently gather some background information to help me understand how I can best support you. This might include past experiences, family dynamics, and emotional or mental health concerns. Our conversation will unfold at a pace that feels right for you.
My hope is that you feel truly heard, respected, and gently supported as we begin our work together. I believe the connection we build is central to the work we do, so we take time to grow trust and understanding from the very beginning.
This first meeting gives us a chance to begin exploring how we might work together, and gently consider what next steps feel right for you.
