About me
I offer a gentle, supportive, non-judgmental environment where I encourage you to explore your feelings and problems at your own pace. Here, you will be able to tell your story and feel heard and understood. Together, we can explore your life and behaviour patterns, how these may have stemmed from past experiences, and discover new ways to relate in the outside world.
I’m dual-qualified as a psychotherapeutic counsellor and coach. I have been mentoring and coaching since 2017, and working as a counsellor since 2020. This dual qualification allows us to look both into your past, and how this affects the present, and also ways to support you in making plans for a positive future.
I have a special interest in working with veterinary professions, including vets, vet nurses and allied support staff. Please see the dedicated website for the veterinary community: www.vetamorphosis.co.uk
I'm based near Bristol but offer remote sessions via video conferencing or phone to clients in the whole of the United Kingdom (UK).
Training, qualifications & experience
I am trained as a Humanistic, Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, and so I adapt my way of working to your needs.
I integrate traditional talking therapy with other modalities, in a client-centred way. These include psychodynamic psychotherapy (exploring how the past affects the present), parts work (influenced by Internal Family Systems Therapy), somatic (body sensation) awareness and neuroscience psychoeducation (to support you in understanding your innate natural wisdom).
As a dual-qualified coach and counsellor, I can also work in a goal-oriented, future focused way.
I was awarded my Diploma in Humanistic and Integrative Counselling with Distinction, following 4 years of training at Bath Centre for Counselling and Psychotherapy. This is a dual-accredited BACP and UKCP course, indicating a very high standard of counselling training. I abide by the UKCP code of ethics, ensuring you are in capable and safe hands. I am a registered member of UKCP and have a current DBS check.
I have worked in the helping professions for over 15 years and also teach, mentor and coach post-graduate professionals in charitable, private and university sectors.
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).
