‘It is a joy to be hidden and a disaster not to be found.’

About me
I’m a fully-qualified UKCP registered psychotherapist, and abide by their code of ethics. I completed my training at Bath Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling, where I was awarded a diploma and Masters degree in Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy.
As well as several years in private practice, I worked within drug and alcohol addiction charity, ‘Swan’, and received additional training in bereavement, codependency, bodywork, trauma and self harm. My clinical experience extends to a further variety of issues including anxiety, ADHD, depression, low self-esteem, family issues.
My Approach
As an integrative psychotherapist, I draw from a wide range of approaches as I believe no one person or relationship is the same and wholeheartedly welcome your individuality.
I’m drawn to the notion that as well as having the potential to hurt, relationship (both with self and others) has the power to heal. Deeply rooted damaging and limiting expectations can be lifted, releasing suffocating feelings of shame, loneliness and despair. It is my experience that therapy can help in feeling safely connected, valued, and indeed, loveable.
I work in a relational embodied way, helping you towards deepening your sense of connection with yourself and others, and gain insight into patterns of relating. I’ve found enriching one’s connection with oneself provides the secure base to reach out into the world and feel safely seen.
