About me
I offer therapy from a peaceful and cosy cabin in beautiful woodland, close to Frome and Warminster. I have exclusive use of the cabin for my therapy practice.
I work with:
- depression and anxiety
- relationship difficulties
- grief and loss
- difficulties at work
- stress and burn out
- anger issues
- transitions
- ADHD
My approach
I am trained in Integrative Psychotherapy. This means I draw from different theories and perspectives and tailor my approach to what I think is right for you.
You may simply want a confidential and safe space to talk and tell your story. You may want tools, techniques and new perspectives to help you. Together, we might explore thoughts and feelings you’d like to change, patterns of behaviour, how the past is affecting your present, or how to plan and create the future you want. My hope is that our work enables you to move forwards in a way that serves you, your relationships and your day to day life.
Mind-body connection
Prior to becoming a psychotherapist I studied and practiced yoga, and I have now been teaching yoga for over 15 years, working on a one to one basis, and in varied settings such as hospitals and rehabilitation centres, and for council health initiatives. This experience supports my psychotherapy practice, deepening my understanding of the mind-body connection and how powerful it can be when understanding, and overcoming emotional and psychological challenges.
If you wish, we can draw on tools from these traditions, for example, breathing techniques for stress, cultivating a more supportive relationship with your body, or learning to regulate emotions through awareness of physical states.
My background
I have had a varied professional life which has given me a rich understanding of people from different cultures, situations and backgrounds, including the different challenges people face. Previously my work has taken me to over 50 countries, and I have worked with a number of charities helping disadvantaged communities across Bristol. I believe this diversity of experience informs my work as a therapist and I welcome difference warmly and openly.
Get in touch
If this sounds like the support you are looking for, do get in touch. Please email with a little bit about yourself and what you are hoping for from therapy. If I feel I can help, we can arrange an initial call. If I believe your needs would be better met by someone else, I will be honest with you and recommend a trusted colleague who may be a better fit.

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.
