About me

The things that cause us suffering cannot always be explained in easy or simple terms. Psychoanalysis offers a creative and inclusive approach that seeks to unravel the root causes of the problems that occupy us.

We might also wish to explore contradictory expectations or patterns of behaviour - attempting to understand better who, or how, we are within the wider social context. Seeking to make sense of personal struggles in conjunction with the contemporary demands on our subjectivity.

The sessions are weekly, or more frequent, and last for 50 minutes. 

Training, qualifications & experience

I initially qualified as a Music Therapist, a psychodynamic form of psychotherapy, in 2006. This led to experience working in a variety of different settings, including the NHS, a children’s hospice as well as adult mental health groups and individual psychotherapy.

Over the last 10 years my practice has developed into a psychoanalytic practice. I am currently attending a UKCP registered psychoanalytic training at the SSCP (Society for Social and Critical Psychoanalysis) in Cornwall.

I am working with adults on a 1-1 basis and provide a confidential and peaceful space in Central Bristol and Easton.

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.

HCPC
Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC)

The HCPC are an independent, UK-wide health regulator. They set standards of professional training, performance and conduct for 16 professions.

They keep a register of health professionals who meet their standards, and they take action if registered health professionals fall below those standards. They were created by a piece of legislation called the Health Professions Order 2001.

Registration means that a health professional meets national standards for their professional training, performance and conduct.
