About me
I am an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor based in Bristol, supporting individuals, couples, and people in diverse relationship structures. Whatever brings you to therapy, I offer a calm and non-judgemental space to make sense of your experiences and I am LGBTQ+ affirming.
I work with individuals to explore emotions, relationships, and recurring ways of thinking, feeling, or responding that may be affecting your life. With couples or more than one client, I focus on helping you understand the dynamics between you, improve communication, and work through difficulties together.
I have supported clients with a range of experiences, including:
- Anxiety, depression, stress, or feeling overwhelmed
- Identity, sexuality, or relationship preferences
- Low self-esteem or loss of confidence
- Communication difficulties
- Navigating conflict more constructively
- Understanding and healing after betrayal
- Workplace relationships and recovery from burnout
- Differing expectations or life decisions, such as having children, moving in together, or committing to marriage or a civil partnership
- Considering whether to continue, change, or end a relationship
- Grief, including the loss of loved ones, changes in relationships, life transitions, and other experiences of loss
If you'd like to arrange a free 15-minute introductory conversation or book an initial session, I'd be happy to hear from you. You can get in touch via email or through my website to discuss what you're looking for and whether working together feels like the right fit.
If you decide to continue, sessions are 50 minutes long and usually take place weekly.
Training, qualifications & experience
As an integrative counsellor, I draw on a range of psychotherapeutic theories and tools to help you explore your relationships, feelings, behaviours and choices, in a way that best supports your individual needs:
Systemic therapy offers a supportive space for people to explore how their relationships work, looking at the patterns, dynamics, and how each person plays a part in both the strengths and the challenges within the ‘system’. Everyone is given equal space to share their perspective, with openness and without judgement.
Psychodynamic therapy offers a space to explore how past experiences and unconscious patterns may be shaping your present relationships and emotional life. By bringing these influences into awareness, it can help foster deeper understanding and meaningful change.
Narrative therapy invites us to look at the stories we tell about ourselves, and to consider how those stories have been shaped by the people, cultures, and environments around us. It’s a thoughtful and respectful approach that helps us explore our identities and experiences, making space for new perspectives and possibilities.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) offers an evidence-based approach to enhancing psychological flexibility. A key principle of ACT is the importance of identifying and clarifying our personal values so that we can make more intentional choices, including in our personal and professional relationships.
My training and qualifications include:
- Relate - Post-Qualifying Certificate in Relational Counselling
- UWE Bristol - MA Counselling and Psychotherapy
- University of Cardiff - Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Part 1
- UWE Bristol - Certificate in Counselling Skills
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.
