About me
UKCP-Registered Psychotherapist & Clinical Supervisor
Bruton, Somerset | Online & In Person
I’m a UKCP-registered psychotherapist and clinical supervisor with 20 years’ experience, offering therapy and supervision online and in person in Bruton, Somerset.
People often come to therapy because something doesn’t feel right in their relationships, their work, or their sense of self. You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, low, anxious, or at a turning point and unsure what comes next.
I offer a warm, confidential, and supportive space where you can slow down, talk openly, and make sense of what’s happening for you. Therapy is a place to be heard without judgment and to find ways forward that feel right for you.
I work with adults around:
- Relationships, communication difficulties, family dynamics
- Sex and sexuality, including LGBTQIA+, gender identity
- Anxiety, excessive worry, phobias, panic attacks
- Low mood, depression, fatigue, loss of interest in living
- Alcohol, drugs, compulsive behaviours
- Self-worth, identity, confidence
- Effects of trauma, abuse, neglect
- Bereavement, ageing, major life changes
- Work stress, burnout, career change, financial pressure
- Autism, ADHD, neurodivergence
- Anger, self-harm, impulsive behaviours
- Chronic pain, long-term health conditions
Alongside talking, I may suggest simple, practical exercises or different ways of working, always at your pace and only if they feel helpful. Nothing is imposed - you stay in control.
I usually suggest starting therapy with an initial block of six sessions, then reviewing together how things are going.
Our first session is an assessment a chance to talk about what’s brought you to therapy, ask questions, and see whether we’re a good fit. Feeling comfortable and understood really matters.
If you’re considering supervision with me, our first meeting is a chance to talk about your work, your context, and what you’re looking for from supervision. Just as importantly, it’s an opportunity for both of us to see whether the fit feels right.
Training, qualifications & experience
I work integratively, with a strong transpersonal influence (including Jungian psychology and psychosynthesis). I see therapy as working with the whole person mind, body, emotions, and your deeper sense of self. I trust that each of us has an inner wisdom, even if we lose touch with it during difficult times.
I’m LGBTQIA+ allied, neurodivergence-informed, and mindful of how discrimination and inequality can affect mental health.
I’m a registered member of UKCP and work in line with their Code of Ethics, with regular supervision and ongoing professional development. Everything you share with me is strictly confidential.
I’ve been working as a therapist since 2005 and hold a Master’s degree in Psychotherapy, a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling, and a Diploma in Integrative Supervision.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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).
