About me
I will support you to access the answers you already hold inside.
As your counsellor, I will meet you with an open mind and heart and listen deeply. Together, we can explore how things might have got stuck or feel insurmountable and start to unpick the patterns and themes that might be holding you back.
How I work:
I work in a way that is most appropriate to you and the moment, calling on Psychodynamic, Person Centred, IFS and Somatic modalities. I can also use Sandtray therapy. Sandtray is a great way to see visually what is happening in your life and mind more clearly, so we can work more deeply together. It helps us reach parts that might be more hidden in the unconscious that could be impacting how you interact in the world. It can also be a great somatic tool to help with relaxation, to reduce anxiety and to bring us more into the body in a safe way.
Historically, I have worked as a doula (supporting the process of pregnancy and birth), a community artist, and a shamanic practitioner (energy work deeply linked with the natural world), and these experiences influence my work today, helping me to connect to more creative and subtle influences in our system and bring this awareness to our work together.
I am committed to working in a holistic way with clients, with an awareness of how each of us is impacted differently by the structures, systems, society and culture that we live in, particularly if living with experiences of discrimination coming from disability, colour, neurodiversity, sex or gender. I am passionate about creating societal change and also work in a charity in Bristol supporting refugees and asylum seekers, and women who have experienced sexual violence.
I have been told that I create a very safe and non-judgmental space for clients. to explore and work through whatever they are struggling with.

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.

Further information
It’s important to me that you feel welcomed and cared for in our sessions, and I will do all I can to provide a safe and warm space for us to work within.
Counselling is not always easy, as we will explore places within you that might hold pain and hurt, but to do this work within a trusted therapeutic relationship can be incredibly supportive and healing.
If you feel drawn to getting in touch, and I have spaces available, please book a 20-minute phone call to explore whether having counselling sessions with me feels like a good next step for you.
