About me
COUNSELLING FOR ANXIETY AND RELATIONSHIP ISSUES IN BRISTOL AND ONLINE
What’s your story? I will listen, understand, and see things from your point of view. And together we can find out what's really going on for you.
Am I the right therapist for you?
Perhaps you have a clear story to tell, or perhaps you’re feeling confused, unsure or conflicted? There is no right or wrong way to come to therapy. At your pace we can uncover the thoughts and feelings underneath, and make sense of the themes that emerge. I work with clients who want to go deeper and discover the root cause of the issues they are facing.
My journey into therapy started over ten years ago when I was struggling with my own anxiety and depression. I found counselling helpful and life-changing, so I decided to train as a counsellor. And even more important than training is who I am at heart – a caring, empathic, real person who ‘gets it’ and is on your side.
How will we work together?
You might come to me because of relationship issues, anxiety, work challenges, low self-esteem, bereavement or past traumas – these can feel like daunting problems, but I've helped people get to grips with them all. I’m an integrative counsellor – which means I'm trained in multiple types of therapy, and together we can find the style which suits you best.
Above all, it works because of the relationship we build. By creating a safe, supportive space to uncover and process difficult emotions, we can lower their intensity and reduce their impact on your life.
I have experience of working with people from varied cultural and social backgrounds, neurodivergent people and LGBTQ+ people, and I’m proud to call myself an ally. I believe in empowering you to be yourself, to grow and develop, and live as who you truly are. After working with me, clients say they feel seen, heard, connected, released, clearer, stronger and more confident in themselves.
What's the next step?
It can feel scary to take the leap, but I encourage you to book a call so we can start exploring your story, whatever form it takes. It's free and there's absolutely no obligation. If things feel right, we can look at session times and begin your therapy. If you're unsure or you need more time, there's no pressure - the important thing is to be really comfortable with your choice of therapist.
You can book on my website, or drop me an email or a text.
I look forward to hearing from you.
