My approach is Humanistic-Integrative which means I draw upon different theories, with the core belief that you are the expert on yourself and my role is to help you unravel your unique experiences, exploring together how they have shaped you as a person. We work to create a space in which we can examine the ways in which you relate to others and how this effects your personal world.

I have held a private practise for over six years, working with clients in Bath, Yeovil and online, previously having spent time working as a Bereavement Counsellor for St Margarets Hospice in Yeovil.

I trained at Bath Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling (BCPC) in their six-year MA and Diploma course in Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy, and am currently completing my Masters submission, with a research focus on how the therapeutic relationship heals the fragmentation of the self that can occur with the disruption of childhood attachment. 

My personal areas of deeper research are how early emotional experience can result in adult physiological illness, and the multiplicity within the 'self'; the ways in which we adapt for protection, and how reaching for external 'safety' can lead to internal conflict. I am also fascinated by the neurological aspects of emotional processing, and the difference in neurodivergent and neurotypical experiencing. 

I regularly attend additional CPD courses including courses on Addiction, Dissociation, Sensorimotor and Trauma Therapy. Within my BCPC training I completed the additional module on Body Process, an exploration of how the body is experienced and experiences as a whole being.

I am a Trainee Member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP registration number 2011165747) and adhere to the UKCP Ethical Principles and Code of Professional Conduct.
