About me and my therapy practice

Hello and welcome. There may be many different reasons why you are here.

Often during times of challenge, loss, or change, we may find we struggle to manage life as perhaps we did before. Coming to therapy offers a chance to explore what it means to be you with your own unique experiences, in a safe and confidential space. This could be processing past traumas or current, ongoing difficulties.

Therapy can be deeply enriching but does require commitment and effort whether coming for shorter or more longer term therapy. There may be times where it feels challenging or painful as we encounter aspects of ourselves previously hidden or denied. Ultimately, therapy is a chance to gain insight and understanding, to make changes and experience deeper and more meaningful connections with self, within our relationships and lives as a whole.

I work with adults, couples and young people over 11 years - Face to face from the centre of Taunton.

Deciding to begin therapy and finding the right therapist can feel daunting. Particularly when life feels tough or unbearable. It is important to find the right therapist for you, someone you feel comfortable with.

Therefore it is my practice to meet with you for an initial session to give us the chance to think together about what you are looking for and needing. If for whatever reason we decide not to proceed, I am happy to refer or signpost to someone who may be more suitable.
