Some availability Monday afternoons and Wednesday evenings.

I am an integrative therapist (Íø±¬ÃÅ registered) offering a warm, supportive, and safe environment where you can explore the challenges and issues that may be troubling you. Qualified to work with individuals and couples (Relate Relationship Counsellor), I will accompany you to explore your past and present experiences and relationships to gain greater acceptance and self-awareness. I believe that with the right tools, support, and understanding, we all have an innate capacity to grow and create meaningful change. Our work together will be collaborative, and my goal is to build a trusting therapeutic relationship that empowers you to achieve your personal goals and enhance your sense of well-being.

I have experience in supporting individuals and couples with a range of emotional and psychological needs and have a particular interest in relationships, parenting, family dynamics, life transitions/challenges, anxiety, self-esteem and depression. I aim to provide a supportive, non-judgemental and confidential environment by offering both short and long-term counselling in person in Clifton, Bristol, or online.

Short term counselling will enable us to focus on the more immediate issues you are experiencing, whilst longer term work will allow us to explore how your past experiences may be affecting your current difficulties. My intention is to help you feel safe and empowered whilst supporting you to explore new ways of being and relating to others.

As an integrative counsellor, I tailor my approach according to each of my client’s specific concerns and needs, utilising a variety of approaches. My work is rooted in a person-centred foundation, emphasizing my belief that you are the expert on your own life. My role is not to direct but to support you in making sense of your experiences at your own pace. Clients experience this approach as both empowering and effective.

My training is in person-centred, relational and systemic therapy. I am fully committed to an on-going programme of professional development in order that I keep developing my skills. Following a number of years of training and gaining agency experience, I was awarded a distinction for my Degree in Integrative Counselling with the University of Plymouth. I also have a Post-Qualifying Certificate in Relationship Therapy, which enables me to work with couples as well as individuals with a relational focus.

My qualifications enable me to work with a variety of therapeutic approaches, including, humanistic, integrative, psychodynamic, attachment, relational, systemic, transactional analysis, creative therapy and mindfulness.

I have worked in a number of counselling roles and specific areas of client work have included peri-natal mental health, parenting, life transitions, menopause, anxiety and depression, and loss.

I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (Íø±¬ÃÅ) and abide by their code of ethics. I receive regular supervision in line with their requirements.
