About me
Following a career in communications, I studied at the Bath Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling (BCPC), where I achieved a level 6 diploma in counselling. I have worked at the Low Cost Counselling Service, and provided therapy to students at Bath Spa University.
I am registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (membership number 00980056). The BACP Register is a public record of counsellors and psychotherapists who meet or exceed the BACP's recommended quality standards. These standards cover training, supervision, continuing professional development and a contractual commitment to the BACP's Ethical Framework.
I have developed an integrated approach to counselling, with a focus on providing a safe and confidential space to explore deep-rooted emotions and life experiences. I offer genuine empathy and warmth, as I believe in the importance of our relationship to help you feel able to explore your personal challenges. ​​
​
I work from a room in the centre of Bath, where I provide face-to-face counselling sessions in a cosy and warm space. I also have a select number of sessions available for clients who prefer to work online.
My Approach
My approach centres around self-discovery and the belief that you know yourself better than anyone. In weekly 50 minute sessions, I will work with you to help uncover that understanding, so that you can become aware of your patterns of behaviour, where they stem from, how you relate to others and how you relate to the world around you.
My work focuses on fostering a genuine connection with you, the client, so that you feel safe and cared for. I believe in the power of empathy, active listening, and creating a non-judgmental space so that my clients can express themselves freely, truthfully and without fear.
​
Amongst other issues, I work with clients experiencing anxiety, numbness, stress, low moods, self-doubt, stuckness and difficulties in their relationships. While for some clients it's less clear, and they come to counselling because they simply have a sense of things not being right. Whatever the reason, we'll work through it together, to help you understand your experience and enable change. ​
