About me and my therapy practice
I am a UKCP accredited and BACP registered psychotherapist with ten years’ clinical experience working in private practice.
I help people to overcome their difficulties so they are free to fully live their lives and reach their potential. I have experience with a wide range of emotional and psychological problems including; depression/low mood; anxiety; panic attacks; overwhelm; relationship difficulties; low self-esteem/low self-confidence; anger management/destructive anger; self-defeating and self-destructive patterns of behaviour; and lack of meaning or purpose.
Right from the first session, you will gain more clarity on what is causing your problems and what needs to be done to relieve your distress so you can have the life you want.
Practice description
The approach I use is based primarily on Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) which scientific studies have shown is highly effective with a wide range of psychological problems and aims to fast-track the path to change and healing. Results are typically seen much more quickly than with traditional models of therapy.
I offer in-person therapy in a quiet, comfortable and confidential space in Bath, as well as working with people online, in order for you to explore and reflect on your feelings and gain a deeper understanding of yourself so you can guide your life more effectively.
You are very welcome to contact me if you have any further questions. There is also more information on my website. I offer a free 30-minute introductory online meeting to discuss your particular circumstances, whether I can help you and for you to decide whether I am the right therapist for you.
My first session
In the first sessions, we will explore the emotional problems you want help with, when they occur, what the internal dynamics of the problems are and your goals for therapy. Together we will get a very real sense of what the underlying causes of your problems are and determine whether I am likely to be helpful to you.
