About me
Feeling stuck, lost or lonely in your life? I help people struggling with self-esteem, abandonment, attachment, relationship issues, anxiety, depression and loneliness.
I believe that patience, care and empathy from another is what truly helps us heal and meet ourselves. To be seen, heard and understood.
I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor, which means I draw on a couple of theories in my therapeutic practice. These include psychodynamic, existentialist and person-centred approaches. I use these theories in a relational way, meaning I pay attention to what is going on between us in the room as a reflection of what may be happening for you in your life.
Therapy can help with a wide range of difficulties, from self-esteem to relationship issues, anger, grief, addiction, intrusive thoughts and more. While I work across all areas, I am particularly interested in helping people navigate self-esteem, abandonment, attachment, relationship issues, anxiety, depression and loneliness.
I believe that therapy allows us to be fully met and accepted by another, so we can fully meet ourselves. Not by a AI, but by a real, human presence. That's where the healing happens, when real vulnerability is required of us.
Before committing, I encourage you to have a free 15-minute introductory phone or video call with me to talk through your hopes for sessions and see if I'd be a good fit for you.
Alternatively, I offer a therapy taster session where you can experience a full 50-minute session with me (priced at my standard rate of £40) with no obligation to continue.
Sessions are online, but I also offer walk and talk sessions in the Bristol BS3 area.

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.
