Are you looking for therapy with anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, burnout or ADHD? Are you a high-striving professional looking for coaching, or a mother returning to work after maternity leave? I am a Chartered Counselling Psychologist, Systemic Practitioner and Executive Coach. I work in a holistic way, using a mind-body approach - I believe that much of the time we live in our heads, disconnected from our bodies, our intuition, and our values. We attempt to ‘rationalise’ situations, yet our bodies feel something different. We live our lives according to the things we feel we ‘should’ do, rather than what brings us fulfilment and joy. I am passionate about facilitating greater mind-body connection in pursuit of authentic, meaningful living. I strive to create a safe and empathic space where you will feel able to explore your current difficulties. I am warm, friendly and approachable. I'm not a therapist who sits silently - I'll ask lots of questions and provide feedback too. 

My career and executive coaching work tends to focus on building psychological resilience, tackling imposter syndrome or perfectionism. I often include areas such as work/life balance, improving sleep, mindfulness, managing stress and work relationships, as well as thinking about changes of career direction. 

I have training in a wide variety of therapeutic approaches, which can be tailored for your individual needs and preferences. I generally draw on CFT (compassion focused therapy), EMDR, and somatic (body based) approaches. I am a trained yoga teacher and embodiment coach - when appropriate I also use movement in therapy sessions.

I worked in the NHS for 10 years, and I also have experience in both third sector and corporate settings. I have experience with a wide variety of mental health difficulties and have a particular interest in working with: anxiety, work stress, relationship difficulties, trauma, low self-confidence, ADHD and connecting to your life purpose.

I see clients in central Bristol (Clifton) or online.
