Generally, counselling tends to focus on specific issues in the present (such as anxiety, stress, or a life change), while psychotherapy may explore deeper or longer-standing patterns and past experiences.

I use the term ‘therapy’ to refer to all the work I do, and draw from each approach depending on your needs.

Sessions are 50 minutes long and tend to be weekly. We will either meet in person in Bedminster, Bristol or via Zoom online.

I will listen, reflect, offer observations and gently challenge. I may offer grounding techniques and psychoeducation if it feels appropriate. Therapy is collaborative and it does require your engagement/commitment. It can be uncomfortable and painful, but I will be alongside you. Through the experience of our relationship you will be able to explore difficulties and make sense of what’s troubling you.

I work with individuals 16 years old and above.

How long we work together will ultimately be up to you. I work open ended, and will offer regular opportunities to review our work together to ensure you are getting what you need.

You can end at any time. I recommend a planned ending as these are part of the therapeutic process.

Sessions cost £60.

If cost is a barrier for you, please get in touch. I have a limited number of spaces at a reduced fee. 

If you are interested in working together the next step is to organise a free initial consultation. This usually lasts up to 20 minutes and is an opportunity to explore together what you’re looking for and to find out if the way I work feels right for you.

We can do this over the phone or via video call depending on what feels most comfortable for you.
