About me
I am an experienced psychodynamic psychotherapist providing short and long-term psychotherapy near Bath and in central Bristol. In our weekly meeting we can create a space each week in which to think deeply about your present life, how you have arrived at this moment and how you might move forward.
Some of the area’s that I have addressed:
- Fostering a feeling of greater self confidence in the face of anxiety.
- Reducing the impact of intrusive thoughts, self-limiting behaviours and destructive patterns.
- Improving the quality of relationships in your family, with friends and at work.
- Addressing internal and external fears about yourself and the world we live in.
- Sensitively exploring sexual identity and issues with intimacy.
- Providing time to work through grief, loss and change.
- Gaining a greater sense of identity in the face of long held uncertainties.
- Finding a way past some things that may have happened in our lives.
- Developing an understanding of repetitive patterns.
Some of my previous patients have come to therapy with great clarity as to why they are there others with a much more general sense that something is not right in their lives. Many find that no matter their reasons for starting, focusing on one area of their lives inevitably affects their wider lives. I will work hard with you to ensure we remain focussed whilst at the same time supporting the, at times difficult and hard, work where ever it might go.
I am able to work in person, on the phone and online and charge between £50 and £85. I offer some early morning and evening sessions as well as during the day on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday in Batheaston. I work at Orchard Street therapy rooms in central Bristol on Wednesday.
My consulting rooms on the edge of Bath are step free, wheelchair accessible, and have free parking. I am an active member of Severnside Institute for Psychotherapy and Avon Counselling and Psychotherapy Service. I am a member of the BPC (British Psychoanalytic Council) and follow all ethical guidelines.

Member organisations
