I’m an integrative counsellor with over 15 years’ experience working in mental health settings and more than 8 years in private practice. I work with adults and young people (15+) both online and in-person in Bristol.
Many people come to therapy feeling unsure whether their struggles are “serious enough”, worried about being judged, or uncertain about trusting someone new. I work gently and collaboratively to create a space where you can feel safe, respected, and heard. Building trust takes time, and I aim to work at a pace that feels manageable for you.
As an integrative counsellor, I draw from Gestalt, Person-Centred and Psychodynamic approaches, tailoring therapy to your individual needs rather than following one fixed model. Alongside therapeutic exploration, I may also offer practical tools and psychoeducation where helpful, including support around anxiety, emotional regulation, trauma, relationships, addiction and neurodiversity.
Some of the areas I work with include anxiety, trauma, stress and burnout, self-esteem, relationship difficulties, family issues, grief and loss, loneliness, addiction, and feelings of being stuck or overwhelmed.
My approach is relational, reflective, and collaborative. Together we may explore how past experiences and relationships have shaped you, how you’ve adapted to cope, and any patterns that may be affecting your current life and relationships. I believe therapy is not only about managing symptoms, but also about developing greater self-awareness, understanding, and compassion towards yourself.
Alongside deeper therapeutic work, I can also offer practical tools and psychoeducation where useful, helping you make sense of emotional responses, relationship dynamics, boundaries, neurodiversity, and stress or trauma responses in everyday life.
Sessions are 50 minutes and available online or in-person at The Practice Rooms in Southville. The cost is £60 per session.
