Welcome to my profile.

I think the idea of going to see a therapist can be daunting; a little like visiting a dentist- something which cannot be put off any longer, will probably be a painful process, but ultimately can bring relief and renewed ability to live life and look forwards again.

There are many reasons why people seek out a therapist. I offer long or short-term weekly sessions, in confidence and at a pace which suits you. For more than 20 years, I have pursued a career in nursing. However, the opportunities to forge therapeutic relationships as a nurse are scarce now: this is why I was drawn to train as a psychotherapist. I am now in my final stages of training at BCPC (Bath Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling) working towards a MA in humanistic and integrative psychotherapy.

I would be pleased to meet you and welcome your enquiry.
