Sometimes life doesn't go quite how we have planned and events can happen which can leave us feeling vulnerable emotionally. This in turn can impact on our self-esteem, relationships and on our general health. It can be helpful to work through these feelings with someone outside of family and friends. 

I am an accredited Counsellor with over 15 years experience offering one-to-one support in coping with issues such as anxiety, low self-esteem, loss, depression and relationship problems. I aim to create a welcoming, supportive and confidential space in which you can freely discuss difficulties in your life. Through warmth and compassion, I aspire to create a collaborative relationship in which we work together to explore the best way for you to move forward with your life.

I have experience of working with many different people and areas of suffering. I am insured and fully accredited with the BACP - being accredited involves a rigorous assessment procedure and is considered to reflect a robust standard of competence and experience. I also work as a Supervisor and a Trainer on the Counselling Diploma Course at Bath Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling (BCPC). 

Whatever, is troubling you, getting in touch will offer you the opportunity to decide whether counselling could help. You are welcome to phone, text or email me for further information or to make an appointment.  

I am able to deliver counselling sessions online and by phone.

In our first session, we will have the opportunity to meet and discuss in more depth what you are hoping to achieve through therapy and whether we both feel we are a good fit to work with each other. The first session always feels a little different from others as you may have questions you wish to ask about the way I work. I will also need to take some basic contact details from you and will outline details around confidentiality. 

I am an accredited BACP Counsellor and qualified Supervisor offering clinical Supervision to trainee and qualified Counsellors. I aim to create a welcoming, supportive and non-judgemental space in which you can feel safe to explore issues you may be facing in your practice. I enjoy working in collaboration with you to explore the best way for you to move forward in your work.

My experience includes over 15 years of practicing as a Counsellor in both agency and private practice settings and 7 years experience of working as a Supervisor. I also work as a Trainer at Bath Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling (BCPC) teaching Counselling students in their final taught year.  I have a Diploma in Supervision from the Centre for Supervision Training (CSTD). 

I am currently able to offer supervision in person, online via Zoom or by telephone. 

Fees are £60 per 50 minute session.

Before we agree to work together, we will meet online for a 20 minute session in which we can get to know each other a little, discuss availability and decide if we feel we wish to work together. There is no charge for this.
