About me and my therapy practice
I specialise in trauma-informed psychotherapy, and psychotherapy for living with chronic illness, chronic pain, chronic fatigue, and other health conditions.
I also have extensive experience of working with relationship, family and social issues, and questions and dilemmas around aspects of identity and the self.
I am a qualified, experienced psychodynamic psychotherapist in Bristol, providing a supportive, safe time and space for you to be heard and understood.
Sessions are once or twice weekly, either in person or online, according to what will best support you.
Practice description
My approach is sensitive, supportive and collaborative; I am interested in your lived experience and how this impacts you.
Together we can explore what you are going through and how your day-to-day reality affects you. We can look at how your current experience relates to past experiences and other aspects of your life. With a deeper understanding of what is going on for you, you can start to feel better and be able to live your life more fully. I support you to advocate for yourself and your mental and physical health needs.
My consulting room is private and peaceful. It is on the ground floor of a building on Old Market Street. Please contact me if you have questions about the accessibility of the room. I also offer sessions online, according to your needs.
I offer concessionary rates if you are on a low income or are unwaged.
