Psychotherapy in Bath and Online
Hi. I am a senior trainee in psychotherapy at the Karuna Institute, Bristol and a trainee member of UKCP (UK Council for Psychotherapy).
I offer affordable psychotherapy for adults from my peaceful garden practice in Bath, as well as online.
A place to bring all of yourself
Whatever has brought you here, you are welcome.
You may be experiencing anxiety or low mood, struggling in your relationships, living with the effects of difficult past experiences, or finding yourself at a point of change, loss or uncertainty.
Or perhaps there isn’t one particular problem you can name. You may simply have a sense that something needs attention.
Psychotherapy offers a confidential, non-judgemental space to slow down and explore your experiences with curiosity and care. Together, we can begin to understand the thoughts, feelings and patterns shaping your life and make room for different ways of relating to yourself and to others.
My Approach
Therapy that includes mind and body
I practise Core Process Psychotherapy, an approach that brings together Western psychotherapeutic understanding with mindfulness and an awareness of our moment-to-moment experience.
Our bodies can communicate things that are difficult to put into words. Alongside talking, I may gently invite you to notice sensations, feelings or responses in the body. Not as something you have to do correctly, but as another way of becoming curious about your experience.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative and person-centred. There is room for difficulty and pain, but also for humour, connection, pleasure and the things that help us feel most alive.
Hi there!
About Me
I qualified as a social worker in 1996 and have spent decades working alongside people through many different circumstances and stages of life.
Alongside my professional work, I have long been interested in our relationship with our bodies and in the ways movement, stillness and awareness can help us reconnect with ourselves.
I am a long-term yoga practitioner and experienced yoga teacher. My interest in embodiment, meditation and bodyfulness led me to train in Core Process Psychotherapy.
Taking the first step

Free 30 minute Chat
An opportunity to talk a little about what has brought you to therapy, ask questions and get a sense of whether working together feels right for you.
Session Fees

I operate a sliding scale (from £25) for clients on low income to keep therapy accessible, particularly for those facing financial barriers.
Location & Setup

There is no obligation to continue after your introductory session.
Psychotherapy in Bath
I see clients in a spacious, light and plant-filled garden room in Combe Down, Bath. There is parking on site, and a nearby bus stop provides easy access to and from Bath city centre.
Online sessions are also available.
Perhaps we could start with a conversation
Whatever has led you to look for a therapist, you are very welcome to reach out to arrange an initial meeting, which I offer at no cost.
