About me
About me
Are you struggling with anxiety, the effects of difficult or traumatic experiences, relationship problems, or simply finding that life feels difficult to manage? You may be going through a period of change, living with a health condition, or wondering whether ADHD or neurodiversity might help explain some of your experiences.
I offer a warm, thoughtful and confidential space where we can make sense of what is happening and work towards meaningful change.
I am an experienced UKCP registered integrative psychotherapist and EMDR practitioner, offering individual therapy for adults aged 18+ from my private practice in Weston, Bath, as well as online. I combine private practice with a senior role in an NHS psychotherapy service, and bring many years of clinical experience to my work.
My approach is humanistic and integrative, which means that rather than using one approach for everyone, I draw on different therapeutic ways of working depending on you, what you are experiencing and what feels most helpful.
I work with a wide range of difficulties including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, ADHD and neurodiversity, bereavement and major life changes. I also have particular experience of the psychological impact of living with long-term health conditions.
EMDR & trauma therapy
I am a qualified EMDR practitioner and offer EMDR both in person in Bath and online. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a recognised psychological therapy particularly associated with the treatment of trauma and PTSD. It can also be helpful where difficult past experiences continue to affect how you feel or respond in the present.
How I work
Therapy can be short or longer term. Our initial session gives us an opportunity to think together about what has brought you to therapy, what you would like help with and whether working together feels right for you.
If we decide to continue, we would usually agree a regular 50-minute session. Our work is collaborative and I aim to provide a warm, non-judgemental space where you can talk openly and begin to understand the experiences, patterns or difficulties that may be affecting you.
This might include exploring how earlier experiences or relationships influence how you feel about yourself and relate to others now, as well as developing different ways of understanding and responding to difficulties in the present.
Long-term health conditions
Alongside my private practice, I work as a psychotherapist within the NHS at the Royal United Hospitals Bath, specialising in the psychological impact of living with long-term health conditions.
I therefore have particular experience of working with people living with diabetes and other chronic health conditions, including the emotional demands of managing illness and the impact this can have on relationships, identity and everyday life.
Supervision
I am also a UKCP-accredited clinical supervisor and offer supervision to counsellors and psychotherapists. I enjoy supporting therapists to reflect on their clinical work and develop their practice.
Location
I offer face-to-face appointments in Weston, Bath, as well as online therapy.
Please get in touch if you would like to arrange an initial session or have any questions about whether I might be the right therapist for you.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited

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).
