About me

From personal experience, I know that life sometimes presents us with challenges and situations that can leave us feeling anxious, depressed and confused. In my work as a psychotherapist and counsellor I have found that issues such as anxiety, depression and anger management are often surface expressions of the need for greater self-respect , autonomy and meaning in life.

Psychotherapy and counselling can offer a safe and supportive space where you can explore and better understand your present life situation. This understanding can help you to make the choices in your life that are more likely to support the development of your happiness and a meaningful sense of self.

My background is in Psychosynthesis which means I use a person-centred and integrative approach, drawing on theory and practice from different areas of Psychotherapy. This helps me to respond more appropriately to your individual needs. The basic approach is through talking and listening but sometimes other techniques can be useful such as drawing, writing, guided visualisation and exploring dreams.

I work at the Sulis Practice at Odd Down in Bath and at Openings in Bath city centre. I also offer sessions online.

Training, qualifications & experience

I trained at the Psychosynthesis and Education Trust in London Bridge and have a Post Graduate Diploma in Psychosynthesis Counselling accredited by Middlesex University. I recently completed an Advanced Diploma in Psychosynthesis Psychotherapy at the Psychosynthesis Trust. I also have a PGCE from Bath University.

I presently work at the Sulis Practice at Odd Down and at Openings in Bath as well as online. Previously I have worked at a voluntary counselling service in Wiltshire and a voluntary placement in Gloucestershire.

I have experience of helping people with depression, anxiety, stress, relationship issues, parenting issues, life stage problems, finding meaning and purpose in life, career difficulties and family issues.

I also work with young people from the age of sixteen, for whom navigating the difficult waters between the end of childhood and the beginning of the adult world can be particularly challenging.

I am a registered member of the BACP. 

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

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
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).

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