About me

I am a Psychotherapist in Bristol focusing on helping you navigating suffering and uncertainty and will work with you to move towards transformational change.

Should we collaborate, the search, and discovery, of new skills and insight can take place in a nonjudgmental and supportive environment. Whether it be innovating new ways to manage intense emotions, helping with relational breakdown or loss, exploring your past and bringing to light the way it may continue to impact your present and, perhaps most importantly, improving our relationship with ourselves, so that we can learn to treat ourselves with more compassion.

Without the skills to offer compassion to ourselves we may limit our enjoyment of life, the company of others and ourselves.

Working in a compassion-focused approach, together we will develop a deeper insight to how we feel, what emotions we experience and where the root of those emotions might lie. With that knowledge, you can then decide whether to, and how to change emotional and behavioural patterns, so they might best serve you.

I work with adults and students. I have spent a decade in intervention-based adult and KS3-5 mental health roles and have expertise in treating low mood and depression, anxiety and stress/threat states, loss, bereavement and grief occurring due to transitions in role or stages of life as well as trauma relating to one’s past. I also have a great deal of experience working therapeutically with Psychosis and difficulty arising from neurodiversity.

I recently opened an evening practice that can offer slots, starting at 6-8pm on weekdays.

I have also opened my books for an in-person Saturday practice, running from 8am-6pm.

Feel free to contact me via email to set up an initial consultation.

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
