About Me


I provide Psychotherapy in the Humanistic-Integrative modality. I draw upon various theories within a relational, person-centered approach. I hold 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 yourself, and others, and how this effects your personal world.

 

I have held a private practise for nine 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), and have a Master's Degree and Professional Diploma in Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy.


My recent research focuses on how the therapeutic relationship heals the fragmentation of the self that can occur with the disruption of childhood attachment. I'm also interested in 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've attended multiple trainings focusing on the neurological and emotional processing differences in neurodivergent and neurotypical experiencing. 


I regularly attend additional CPD training including courses on Addiction, Dissociation, Power and Gender, Neurodivergence, 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 member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP registration number 2011165747) and adhere to the UKCP Ethical Principles and Code of Professional Conduct.
