My Approach

Many clients come to therapy understanding their patterns intellectually but still feeling unable to change them. You may know you overthink, over-adapt or doubt yourself — yet find you continue to do so under pressure.

Rather than offering strategies alone, therapy focuses on the emotional roots of low self-esteem and relational difficulty. We explore how internal pressure builds, how defences operate and how past experiences continue to shape present reactions.

The aim is not simply to cope better, but to develop lasting self-trust, clarity and emotional steadiness so you can relate to yourself and others from a more grounded and confident position.

About Me

Struggling with low self-esteem, chronic self-doubt or losing yourself in relationships? I specialise in helping adults who over-give, people-please and second-guess themselves build genuine self-respect and confidence.

I am a UKCP-accredited and BACP-registered psychotherapist with over ten years’ experience supporting adults who feel stuck in repeating relational and emotional patterns. You may find it hard to say no without guilt, to trust your own judgement or to feel steady in who you are when relationships feel strained.

I am trained primarily in Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP), an evidence-based, emotionally engaged approach that helps bring unconscious patterns into awareness so they can be transformed — not simply managed. This is an active, focused and collaborative process. We work directly with what happens in the moment, including emotional reactions, bodily responses and habitual defences, so long-standing patterns can shift at their roots.

Alongside ISTDP, my background in psychosynthesis supports exploration of identity, meaning and personal development, helping you build a stronger relationship with yourself as well as greater emotional resilience.

I offer individual psychotherapy in-person in Bath and online across the UK. I also offer a free 15-minute introductory call so you can ask questions and see whether this focused way of working feels right for you.
