Psychotherapy

You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from yourself or others, and wondering if therapy could help. People seek therapy for many different reasons. Sometimes during a difficult time, other times when everyday life feels particularly challenging. For you, there may not be a specific issue, just a quiet sense of emptiness or of not having fulfilled your potential. Therapy offers a space to slow down and explore what is happening in your life with compassion and curiosity. It is a place where you can feel acknowledged, listened to and supported, and where we can begin to make sense of your experiences and who you are. Through this process, the possibility of living with greater clarity and fulfilment can begin to emerge. ​​​​
​
I've found that psychotherapy can help with a broad range of difficulties and issues. The most common areas I see people for are:
-
Depression & mood swings
-
Stress, anxiety & overwhelm
-
Anger & irritability
-
Childhood trauma or abuse (including relational trauma)
-
Early separation & loss including boarding school, early parental loss or disrupted attachment
-
Eco-anxiety & eco-grief including fear and despair about the climate & ecological crisis
-
Work related issues – career anxiety, lack of direction & career transitions
-
Lack of confidence & low self worth
-
Relationship issues & family conflicts
-
Feelings of meaninglessness or emptiness
-
Life transitions including menopause
-
Grief & loss – bereavement or relationship break up
-
Relocation - living away from ‘home’
-
Cultural conflicts – sense of identity, feelings of belonging & freedom
-
Pressures of parenting or caring for older parents
​
I welcome people from all backgrounds and life experiences in my practice. Within my wider work, I have a particular interest in supporting people with ADHD, those exploring their relationship with the natural world and those exploring themes of home and belonging.
​
I support people who are living with ADHD. This may be diagnosed, suspected, or something you are beginning to explore. Therapy can provide space to understand how neurodivergence shapes your daily life, your relationships, and the ways you understand yourself.
​​​
I am also interested in experiences of disconnection from the natural world, and in the insights offered by ecopsychology. Ecopsychology explores the relationship between our inner lives and the natural world, recognising that our wellbeing is closely connected to our sense of belonging within the wider living earth. Reconnecting with nature can support healing, reflection, and a deeper sense of connection. To support this work, sessions can happen inside the therapy room or outside in nature. Outdoor sessions may include walking, talking, sitting, silence, observing, exploring movement and our embodied sense of relationship to nature.
​
Another area of interest is home and belonging which can include the experience of living away from where you come from. This might involve making sense of migration, relocation, or living between cultures, and exploring how these experiences shape your identity and your sense of place in the world.
​​​​
I am currently working face to face and online. My face to face sessions are held in my consultings room in a rural location 6 miles north east of Bath and in central Bath. For online sessions, I use Zoom.
