My Approach

Many people arrive expecting to learn tools and techniques. What they often discover instead is that the resources they needed were already present — we simply found them together.
My approach is imaginative and creative. I work holistically with the different parts of your experience — the part that wants to change, the part that’s afraid to, the part that’s been carrying something for a very long time. We hold all of these with curiosity and compassion, not judgement. Mindfulness sits at the heart of this: gently noticing what is, rather than fighting against it. Whether your mind works in ways that feel complex, intense, or simply hard to explain to others, you are welcome here.
Before training as a therapist, I spent years as a 3D creative designer — I understand what it is to live in a demanding, high-performance world. I came to therapy myself before training, and that experience quietly informs everything I do.

The first step is a free 45-minute introductory session — no commitment, just a chance to feel whether this might be the right fit.

About Me

Something has brought you here. Maybe it’s a heaviness you can’t quite name, an anxiety that won’t settle, or a sense that you keep arriving at the same stuck place no matter how hard you try. Perhaps you’ve always felt things a little more deeply than others, or found the world more complex and tiring than it seems to be for everyone else.


I’m Shaun, a UKCP-accredited psychotherapist based in the heart of Bristol. The therapy I offer is mindfulness-based core process psychotherapy — a depth approach that weaves together Buddhist philosophy, western psychodynamic thinking, and a way of working that honours all parts of who you are. Rather than targeting symptoms or handing you strategies, we slow down together and pay attention to what’s actually happening — in your body, your mind, your history, and in the space between us.
