I believe in creating a compassionate, supportive environment where clients can safely explore their thoughts and emotions. As a Bristol-based psychotherapist, I specialise in CBT, trauma therapy, and perinatal mental health, helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, and major life transitions.
From my earliest experiences training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), I felt drawn to helping people manage complex emotions. I developed a deep interest in trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which led me to specialise in this field. My work has involved supporting people through a wide range of challenges, including sexual assault, accidents, migration, and major life changes.
After moving to Bristol, I expanded my expertise in perinatal mental health, working with mothers through the profound changes that come with parenthood. I support clients experiencing birth trauma, baby loss, and the emotional shifts that can arise during pregnancy and early parenthood.
My approach integrates trauma-informed care with practical strategies to build resilience, emotional wellbeing, and self-compassion. I am fully accredited with both the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP) and Interpersonal Psychotherapy UK (IPTUK).
I work collaboratively with clients, tailoring evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Prolonged Grief Disorder Therapy (PGDT). I believe therapy should be both practical and empathetic—helping clients build tools for coping while fostering genuine understanding and trust.
My practice emphasises authenticity, warmth, and professionalism. I approach therapy with a “let’s figure this out together” mindset, treating clients with respect, openness, and understanding. I aim to help clients gain confidence, reduce distress, and reclaim the life they want.
Having experienced life’s ups and downs, I understand the courage it takes to seek therapy. I use this perspective to offer compassionate, down-to-earth support, always aiming to make clients feel heard and understood.
