​As a counsellor in the final submission stage for an Advanced (Level 6) Diploma in Humanistic and Integrative Counselling, at the Bath Centre of Psychotherapy and Counselling (BCPC), I am pleased to offer accessible and affordable counselling in the community.  Sessions can be for an agreed period of time or available on an ongoing basis.

I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), adhering to professional standards and fully insured.

 ​​

As well as my private practice in Swindon, I am currently a volunteer counsellor at IPSUM and have been supporting clients for two years.

​My experience includes but is not limited to: work related issues, stress, relationship difficulties, cultural family dynamics, trauma, anxiety, depression, loss, self-harm, self-esteem and confidence struggles.​

​

Prior to my four years of training, I held a rewarding role as a Progress Coach, supporting young people on a pastoral level.  Having also worked in the Financial Services industry for fifteen years, I understand the complexities that may be encountered in the corporate world as well as within education.  My interest in psychology stems in part from my own life experiences and the impact it has on relationships.​​​​

Approach - how I work:

 

As an integrative counsellor, I draw on humanistic and psychodynamic models of practice, to ensure sessions are attuned to you and your individual needs. I value a holistic approach to wellbeing, which considers the body and mind connection.  I will support you by listening to you, offering gentle challenge and different perspectives where necessary.  Our work may involve exploring thoughts, body sensations, feelings and patterns of behaviours, to enable you to make sense of the difficulties you are facing.  I also offer creative interventions if this is appropriate, such as working with stones, drawing and guided meditations.  You may also wish to explore influences from the past that may be impacting you now, in the present.  However we choose to work together, I am interested in everything you have to bring and it will inform our work.

I have witnessed first hand the transformative power of the process of counselling. Meaningful and purposeful insights often bring greater clarity to your individual experiences and lead to positive shifts.

 

Next steps: 

​I appreciate it can feel daunting to reach out for the first time, you can be assured that I will do my best to put you at ease and help you feel comfortable. ​

 

​Please get in touch to arrange a no obligation call, up to 15 mins, to ask any questions you may have and/or give you an opportunity to consider what it might be like to work together.  If you decide to take the next step, we will arrange a first session for an initial assessment, to gather key information and discuss in more detail what brings you to therapy at this time.   I welcome all enquiries and would love to hear from you.
