Counselling in Bath
Weekly therapy for adults in BA2
Whether you’re struggling with low self-esteem, relationship difficulty, past adverse or abusive childhood experiences, anxiety, or depression, I offer a non-judgemental space to think together.
Often pain in the present and negative feelings about yourself has roots in early experience. Day to day, this has can have an ongoing impact on you.
Psychodynamic therapy encourages self-reflection. It can help you to understand yourself better, moving beyond habitual ways of thinking.
My approach is underpinned by psychoanalytic thinking and a focus on attending to feelings as they come up in the present moment.
Accepting new clients
About me
I provide a safe, confidential and reliable service.
I’m a BACP registered psychodynamic counsellor and BPC accredited CCYP (Counselling Children and Young People) Practitioner. I work one-on-one in central Bath.
I work with all kinds of psychological and relationship difficulties. I have a particular interest in working with anxiety, and have a lot of experience supporting clients who have experienced childhood abuse and neglect. I enjoy working with clients across the age spectrum, from children to university students through to the elderly. Whatever you are struggling with, we can work together to make sense of your thoughts and explore how you might move beyond unhelpful habits and past pain.
My core training is talk-therapy based but I work with creative materials and art with young people and sometimes find that integrating these into therapy with adults can be helpful too.
My background is in publishing and I’m interested in the way language and storytelling can either confine or empower us. Exploring this in therapy can be illuminating.
I have recently begun to integrate some mindfulness and affect-based approaches into the way I work.
If you’re interested in working with me, get in touch, and we can meet to see if it feels as if I can be helpful to you.
Fees
My standard fee is £60 per hour (adults), and £70 per hour (young people) payable on the day.
I have some reduced fee slots for those on a low income, so please ask about these and I will accomodate you if I have capacity.
