I work firstly in a Humanistic way. This means my focus is on building a relationship that promotes your autonomous process of self-discovery. I aim to support you to develop a strong and healthy sense of self, to explore your feelings, find meaning and feel known.

My approach usually combines aspects of Humanistic therapies such as Person-Centred Therapy, Gestalt Therapy and Transactional Analysis, but I am able to draw on other therapeutic models as appropriate.

I work in a non-pathologising and trauma informed way. This means I believe the distress we feel in living is best understood not as some kind of fault inside the individual but as an understandable and very human reaction to adverse situational factors. I won’t ignore the context and impact of your adverse lived experiences. I will always adapt the theory to the person, not squeeze the person into the model.

I am an unconditional ally to anyone who has been mocked, belittled, minimised, silenced, scapegoated, bullied, abused, marginalised, othered, excluded or exiled. I have experience with survivors of hate crimes and domestic abuse and I am ready to work with complex trauma, wherever you are in your journey.

I became a therapist because I wanted to make an empathic response to suffering and offer an alternative to the “othering” of client experience I was seeing in some areas of mental health. You’re not broken. Let’s start there.

This calm location right in the heart of Bristol is tucked away in a quiet street behind the Hippodrome, two minutes from College Green bus stops and Trenchard Street car park. There are bathrooms in the building, while ramps and a groundfloor room can be organised in advance for access. I also sometimes work from 28 Orchard Street, just across the street.

Working online can solve some accessibility issues and I have found that, as long as clients have a quiet and confidential place to work, then working online poses no real barriers to relationship building. I send a Zoom link and a secure payment link ahead of the session. Clients from overseas are equally welcome.

I now have a space for face-to-face work, serving Weston, Worle and the villages, where there is increasing demand. I have not finalised regular practice hours and availability at the current time, but please enquire.

If you feel like you want to take the next step, the first thing we need to do is have a brief, free conversation over Zoom, with no obligation. This gives you a chance to see if I might be the right fit for you. It also allows me to ensure I have the right skills or experience for your therapy needs.

If you’re happy we’ll then book in a first session. I generally recommend weekly appointments, in notional blocks of six with a review at each sixth session. Evening appointments are available.
