I am registered with BUPA, Aviva, and Vitality, and can work with clients covered by these insurance providers.

I am a qualified Integrative Therapist/Counsellor, MNCPS (Acc.), MBACP, Enhanced DBS Checked.

I am a dedicated and compassionate integrative therapist/counsellor committed to providing high-quality support to individuals seeking guidance and healing. I am a Level 1 IFS (Internal Family System) trained therapist, it is an evidence-based therapeutic model. IFS is a gentle yet powerful approach that helps us understand the different “parts” within ourselves. Through this model, I support clients in developing a compassionate relationship with their inner world, fostering healing, clarity, and emotional balance.

I can help you with a wide range of issues, from everyday stressors to profound traumas. These experiences could deeply impact your mental health, leading to feelings of anxiety, depression, to post-traumatic stress. However, amidst these struggles, there is hope for healing and growth. I provide a safe and nurturing space for you to explore your emotions, navigate through difficult life events, and uncover healthier coping mechanisms.

I tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each client. I draw upon theories, techniques, and tools from various humanistic modalities including Person centred, Relational, Psychodynamic, Transactional Analysis, Internal Family System, CBT, Polyvagal Theory, Mindfulness and Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy.

I work collaboratively with my clients to develop long-term strategies for coping and resilience. By empowering clients to confront their past experiences and embrace their inner strength, my aim is to facilitate healing and cultivate a sense of hope for the future.

I have over four years of experience working with clients dealing with mild to moderate mental health issues.

I am currently working as a therapist at a mental health hospital in Bristol where I offer one to one and group therapy sessions; and managing a private practice.

I have extensive experience working with clients who have suffered trauma, gained while working in an agency specialising in support for survivors of sexual abuse and violence.

I worked as a counsellor at a higher education institute.

I volunteered as a bereavement counsellor in a local hospice in Bristol and volunteered as counsellor for a church.

Initial consultation:

It is important that you find a counsellor with whom you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and emotions. I recognise that taking that first step could be daunting, I extend an invitation for a complimentary initial consultation, lasting 20 - 30 minutes. This session can be conducted over the phone or online and will be an opportunity for you to express your goals and expectations, and reasons for seeking counselling, and determine if we can work together.

On going sessions:

After the initial consultation, I offer both long-term and short-term counselling sessions tailored to your needs. These sessions will take place weekly on the same day and time that we have mutually agreed. I understand that unforeseen circumstances may sometimes prevent you from attending a session; however, a 24-hour notice is required for cancellations, or you will be charged for the session. 

I am registered with BUPA, Aviva, and Vitality, and can work with clients covered by these insurance providers. In such cases, I will invoice the insurer directly.
