Counselling & Psychotherapy in Bristol, Bath & Online
Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed or caught in familiar patterns?
Perhaps you know what you want help with, or perhaps you have a sense something's not right, and that's where you'd like to start — figuring it out.
I'm a BACP-registered counsellor and therapist practising in Bristol, Bath city centre and online.
My wish is to help you understand yourself better, your patterns, motivations and needs, and find more ease in being yourself.

How can therapy help?
I help people aged 18 or over with a range of concerns — and it's common for it to feel hard to put into words exactly what the problem is. Clients I see are often struggling with:
-
difficult relationships, or the same patterns repeating
-
living with the effects of trauma or difficult childhood experiences, including abuse, parents' separation, early loss, or growing up with a narcissistic parent
-
feeling caught in addictive patterns
-
neurodivergence
-
men's mental health
-
overwhelmed by grief, anger, low mood, anxiety or hopelessness
-
feeling isolated or lacking confidence
-
feeling a lack of motivation
There are also positive reasons many people seek therapy. There may not be a specific difficulty you're facing — just a sense you'd like to make the most of this life. You may wish to:
-
live more in the present
-
improve the quality of your relationships
-
set better boundaries
-
connect, or reconnect, with your own creativity
-
work out whether it's time for a life transition
-
connect, or reconnect, with your own values and life direction

Practicalities
I currently offer therapy sessions in-person in Bristol and Bath. I also offer online sessions.
Sessions last 50 minutes. Once we've agreed to proceed, the same time slot will be held for you each week. I ask for 72 hours' notice if you need to cancel — late cancellations are charged at the full rate.
I generally work with people over the longer term, as it tends to give us the space to build the trust necessary to address deeper patterns. For some people though, six or twelve sessions is what's needed. Length of therapy is something we can explore together when we meet for an initial consultation.
Fees & payment
Initial consultation: Free
20-minute no-obligation video call
Regular weekly sessions: £65
50-minute sessions at the same time each week
My policy is that payments are made by bank transfer by the end of the day of each session.
