Couples/relationship counselling: spaces available in Bristol, Stroud and Online, with initial sessions available starting this week.

ÌÇÐĹÙÍø Accredited Counsellor, Relationship/Couples Counsellor & Supervisor.

My aim is to create a safe, confidential and warm space in which to explore the issues which you bring. Together with a focused and boundaried approach I like to bring creativity, warmth and humour into the counselling room along with my passion for this area of work.

I believe that anxiety or depression can be a way of drawing our attention to what is currently inhibiting us from engaging fully in our life. I appreciate that it may be difficult initially to engage in the counselling process. However, I believe that living with these unexplored difficulties is even more distressing.

Each counselling relationship is unique and I value each client's individuality when working together, whether I'm working with an individual or a couple. I can work with you on a short term, long term or open ended basis depending on your need. The therapy I offer will involve us developing clear boundaries in which to explore the past/present issues that are affecting your life or relationship, and together discover a path to move forward.

With over 15 years experience, and ÌÇÐĹÙÍø accredited since 2015, I practice in accordance with the ÌÇÐĹÙÍø code of ethics, am fully insured and hold a current DBS check. I currently work in Private Practice online or Face to Face in Bristol or Stroud.

I attend weekly Supervision and attend regular continual professional development (CPD) activities/days.

If you would like to arrange an initial assessment, please email, text or call to book a mutually convenient time.

I work as an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist, offering sessions to individuals and couples in Brimscombe/Stroud, Bristol, and online via Zoom.

Individual sessions are 50 minutes, usually held weekly at the same time each week to build consistency, though frequency and duration are reviewed regularly and adjusted to suit your circumstances and goals. There's no requirement to commit to a fixed number of sessions or block-book — you're free to work short-term, long-term, or open-ended.

My in-person practice in Brimscombe/Stroud offers a range of appointment times Monday to Thursday (8am–10pm) — get in touch to check current availability. I understand the need for flexibility to fit around busy lives and complex roles. Online sessions can be arranged at a time that suits your schedule, wherever you're based.

Individual session fees are £65 per 50-minute session, payable in advance via a secure invoicing system. A 48-hour cancellation policy applies, to respect both our time.

Couples/relationship sessions are 90 minutes at £135 per session. Please see www.bristolrelationships.co.uk for more details.

I work with individuals and couples on a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, stress, addiction, OCD, and neurodiversity (ADHD, ASD, dyslexia, dyspraxia and more).

I'm an approved provider for AXA, AVIA, BUPA, Cigna and WPA — if your insurer isn't listed, please get in touch to discuss options.

If you have any questions before booking, feel free to contact me directly.

Before your first full session, I offer a free 20-minute consultation — a chance to ask questions and get a feel for whether working together feels right, with no obligation to continue.

The beginning stage of counselling is normally a space for you to tell your story, often in full for the first time, in a neutral setting. Sometimes you'll already be clear about what's been affecting you and how you want to feel different. Other times you'll simply sense that something isn't right and need help figuring out what it is. Either way, this is exactly what the space is for — if you're not sure why you've come, we'll explore that together and start putting words to it.

An important part of what makes counselling work is that I have no connection to your family, friends, or wider life — at the end of a session, I could walk past someone close to you and be none the wiser. That neutrality means you can tell your story in full, unedited, without worrying about the person listening. From there, we get clearer on what you want to be different, and the work begins toward a better, healthier relationship with yourself — and with others.

If you'd like to go ahead after the consultation, I'll send over two short forms to complete beforehand, and we'll agree a date for your first full session.

I currently have availability for new supervisees, both online and in person at my office in Brimscombe, Stroud.

I offer two session formats:

60 minutes — £70. The most popular option, with room to think properly.

90 minutes — £90. For those carrying a complex caseload or preferring less frequent, longer sessions.

All formats are available online UK-wide or face to face.

I also offer group supervision for organisations and teams by arrangement. If you're a practice manager, clinical lead, or service coordinator looking for external supervision for your staff, please get in touch to discuss.

ÌÇÐĹÙÍø Accredited Supervisor

My supervisors have changed my practice and my life. The good ones showed me how much thinking space matters — where the cases that keep you awake at night finally get looked at properly, where you remember why you chose this work in the first place. That experience is what I try to bring.

My supervision is rooted in a simple belief: most of our clients' struggles trace back to the relationship they have with themselves. Not the polished, predictable version they're trying to maintain — the anxious, binary, future-predicting version that scans constantly for threat and calls it safety. Real therapeutic progress moves people away from that rigid self-management toward something looser, more honest, more alive. Less a perfectly painted landscape. More a piece of modern art — uncertain in places, but genuinely theirs.

What I'm really interested in is you — your clinical voice, the assumptions underneath your work, and whether the way you're practising is actually sustainable. I bring psychodynamic depth, relational honesty, and the practical experience of running a successful private practice myself. Alongside the clinical work, I understand the less visible labour of being a therapist — caseload decisions, referral pathways, finances, the isolation of working alone. All of it is fair game.

Expect warmth, genuine challenge, and room for humour — because if we can't laugh at the absurdity of this work occasionally, we're probably not processing it properly.

I work with trainees, newly qualified, and experienced practitioners online and in person across Bristol and Stroud.

I love this job. The privilege of being trusted with the parts of people they rarely show anyone else — there is nothing quite like it. But it asks an enormous amount in return. Not just clinically — though that alone is considerable. You're tracking attachment patterns, holding trauma, staying attuned to what your client can't yet say, while simultaneously monitoring your own internal weather. Session after session. Week after week.

We are practising in one of the most turbulent periods most of us can remember. EAP contracts are shrinking. Insurance fees are frozen while platforms like BetterHelp compete directly for our clients. Many of us — whether we trained for it or not — now have to think of ourselves as businesses. SCoPEd is reshaping the profession in ways that feel seismic but remain publicly unexplained. The ground keeps moving.

And then you get home. You argue with your son. Your partner is exhausted. You lose your temper at the roadworks. You feel unwell and sit down to work anyway. Counselling and psychotherapy require real focus — sustained, regulated, present-moment attention — and that needs a fit mind and body. Not easy when you absorb the emotional weight of other people's lives for a living.

This is the reality of practice. And it's the part supervision most often forgets to ask about.

Before we work together, I offer a free 20-minute phone or video conversation — no agenda beyond getting a feel for each other. A chance for you to ask whatever's on your mind, get a sense of how I work, and for us both to know if it feels like a good fit.

Once we've had that conversation and decide to go ahead, I like to spend our first proper session simply getting to know you — where you're practising, who you're sitting with day to day, and what that actually feels like for you. The pressures you're carrying, both the practical ones and the ones nobody really talks about. Who your clients are and what they bring to the room with them.

I'll also want to hear about your training, your background, and the approach you work from — what drew you to it, where you feel solid, and where you're still finding your feet.

By the end of that first session, we'll have the beginnings of a working agreement, but more than that, a real sense of each other. And if it doesn't feel right, for either of us, that's completely fine too. The conversation costs nothing and asks nothing of you.g.
