As a Psychotherapist with twenty years of experience in well-being and the Somatic Psychotherapy field, I have worked within the NHS, Bath and North East Somerset Council, voluntary sector, education and the community. I specialise in trauma and attachment. In 2021, I slowly started opening my private practice working with people face to face and online.

I believe in doing the work and I myself invest in weekly therapy. I understand first-hand what a big commitment and financial investment therapy can be. It is therefore very important that everyone can connect with the right therapist for them. It is ok to ask questions. Ideally, it needs to feel like a ‘good enough’ fit, as the therapeutic relationship is a relationship after all.

I believe there isn’t a final ending in therapy, there is a point to get to, but I understand that self-reflection, healing, awareness (or whatever current buzz word we want to use), is a continuous thread that unravels and deepens, as we become our own experts in healing and understanding our individual purpose.

I continue to deepen my understanding of the human experience and bring my own lived experience to my knowledge that I have explored (I have done the work!) I continue to be curious and question my own self, my decisions and feelings and the impact our experiences can have on our relationship with ourselves and others.

I am motivated and inspired by the resilience and grit that we all posses and how important it is to question and be curious about ourselves. We are on a continuous path that doesn’t stop and I see the huge value in accessing more awareness through the therapeutic journey.
