About me
Hello. I am a relational psychodynamic psychotherapist working with adults.
My way of working is collaborative, reflective and exploratory: we think and feel our way through things together. Drawing on relational and psychodynamic approaches, with a strong emphasis on attachment theory, we'll explore how earlier experiences and unconscious processes shape your present life, relationships, and sense of self.
I have a particular interest in supporting high-achieving professionals and creative artists who, despite an outwardly successful life, may feel privately overwhelmed or under strain, and who are navigating the complex stress, pressure and unique demands of their roles and industries.
My hope is for us to work together towards a deeper understanding of yourself, and for this to lead to practical change in your life.
Therapy with me may be helpful if you are:
- Feeling stuck in recurring patterns of thoughts, feelings, behaviour, or relationships
- Managing perfectionism, burnout, imposter feelings, or the hidden pressures of leadership and high performance
- Struggling with intimacy, distance, trust, or navigating non-traditional or diverse relationship structures
- Noticing past experiences being replayed in your current relationships or work
- Facing creative blocks, meaning crises, or questioning identity, values, or direction in life
- Navigating life transitions such as career change, parenthood, peri/postnatal adjustment, menopause, ageing, or later-life shifts
I bring particular experience in working with anxiety, depression, stress and feeling overwhelmed; identity, gender, sexuality, and relationship diversity (GSRD-affirmative); attachment and relational patterns; emotional understanding, expression, and regulation; physical health concerns; and peri/postnatal experiences, menopause, and transitions across the lifespan.
I am couples-trained and welcome working with couples and other relationship constellations. I work from an affirmative, strengths-based, progressive perspective.

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.

Additional information
I offer a reduced fee of £55.00 for students or people on a lower income.
I currently have limited availability for online sessions on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays.
I offer face-to-face psychotherapy on a Wednesday in central Bath; however, I don't have any in-person availability at the moment. I am operating a waitlist if you'd like to be contacted when a space opens.
The therapy room is in Queen’s Square and is available for individuals, couples, or families.
Further information
In our work, the therapeutic relationship becomes a safe, contained space to explore how you relate to others and to yourself, how you protect against vulnerability, and how your attachment patterns show up in everyday life. Over time, this can deepen emotional literacy and regulation, ease distress, and open up new possibilities for living and relating.
If this resonates, you're welcome to contact me for a brief consultation conversation to see if we're a good fit. Sessions are 50 minutes weekly.
