About me
I work face-to-face in Bath and I also offer sessions by telephone and Zoom. Please contact me for more details.
-----------------------
I am an experienced, fully qualified psychotherapist and clinical supervisor with my practice in Bath. I have helped many clients to face and overcome a wide range of emotional issues. These include:
- anxiety
- relationship issues
- loss and bereavement
- depression
- alcohol and drug dependency
- stress-related issues
- anger
- trauma and dissociation
- low self-worth and suicidal thoughts
As well as being a fully qualified psychotherapist, I am a qualified clinical hypnotherapist. When it is appropriate, I use hypnotherapy to help clients during our sessions.
I specialise in relational psychotherapy. This puts a focus on how we are connected with others. Its aim is to help clients achieve and maintain fulfilling and satisfying relationships with those around them. The strong, uplifting and secure relationship we can forge in therapy can serve as a model for future relationships that clients will aim to develop.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have been a practising psychotherapist since 2006, working within the NHS and in private practice.
I trained with the Bath Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling (BCPC) and I am a Registered Member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP).
I regularly attend continuing professional development workshops to add to my skills and expertise.
I have completed body psychotherapy training and mindfulness training, and am a qualified hypnotherapist.
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).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
