My website is www.talkingtherapybath.co.uk.  I work afternoons, evenings, and Saturdays and have some availability in-person for couples and individuals.

I qualified in 2013 and have several thousand hours’ of experience working both short term and long term. I now work solely in private practice but previously worked in several agencies including Bristol University, Bath University, and the Carers’ Centre with clients from 18 to those in their 80’s.

I’m an integrative therapist (humanistic/existential and psychoanalytic) also influenced by the cognitive awareness that comes through mindfulness. In plain English I offer an authentic, non-judgemental, and accepting personal relationship and notice what is happening in our relationship with regard to a wide range of psychological theory and practice. 

The purpose is to assist you to understand your emotional,cognitive, and behavioural responses to life’s challenges and to change that where that is desired.

I have considerable experience of dealing with many aspects of human distress and suffering including depression, anxiety, bereavement and loss, and problems in relationships for both couples and individuals. It may be that it’s hard to be sure what the problem is: a loss of a sense of who you are and what you want from life, or maybe just a feeling of meaninglessness and that something is missing.
