My approach is integrative, relational and grounded in a deep respect for people’s lived experience. I am interested in how we come to be shaped by what has happened to us, while remaining equally curious about what continues to live, move and seek expression through us.
I work in a way that acknowledges pain and difficulty without allowing them to become the whole story. Rather than focusing only on what is wrong or broken, I am attentive to what has endured, including desire, creativity and the capacity for relationship. Therapy can become a place where these qualities are noticed, supported, and gradually strengthened alongside careful attention to what has been painful or overwhelming.
The therapeutic relationship is central to my work. I understand therapy as a process that unfolds between two people, where patterns can be felt and explored as they arise in the present moment. This relational focus allows new ways of being to emerge, gently and over time, both with oneself and others.
I also pay close attention to the body and to present-moment experience. Sensations, emotions and subtle shifts can offer important information that sits beneath words and stories, helping us understand how experience is held and how change becomes possible.
I aim to offer an environment that is spacious, thoughtful and human, where there is no pressure to perform, explain or get things right. Therapy with me is not about becoming someone else, but about coming into a fuller, more honest relationship with who you already are.
I am an integrative psychotherapist and UKCP-registered practitioner, offering therapy in Bristol and online across the UK. I work with adults who are experiencing emotional difficulty, life transitions, or a sense of feeling stuck, overwhelmed or disconnected from themselves.
My approach is grounded, relational and trauma-informed. I am interested not only in what we think and feel, but also in how our experiences live in the body. In our work together, we may gently explore bodily sensations, emotional patterns and present-moment experience, alongside reflection and dialogue. This can help bring awareness to deeper processes beneath the surface of everyday life.
I aim to offer a therapeutic relationship that is compassionate, spacious and honest. I believe that meaningful change happens through being met with curiosity and care, rather than being judged or “fixed”. Therapy with me is collaborative, and we move at a pace that feels respectful and safe.
I welcome clients from all backgrounds and identities. People often come to see me when they are navigating relationship difficulties, anxiety, low mood, loss, questions of identity, or a desire for greater meaning and vitality in their lives.
Alongside my clinical practice, I have many years of experience teaching and supervising in therapeutic and educational settings. This informs my work, but my primary focus in therapy is always on you and what you bring.
Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.
