Integrative relational psychotherapy in Bristol
Psychotherapy is an invitation to truth. We suffer when we have not been able to feel what we feel, say what we know, reach for what we want or receive what we need. Therapy can offer a rare space to explore beyond the self you may have learned to be in order to be acceptable in the world and discover other ways of being. A relationship that is respectful, honest and attuned can open doors to the deeper parts of you that hold your authenticity and wisdom and are oriented towards growth.
I offer skilled, creative and collaborative psychotherapy in Bristol. My work involves deep listening in a confidential and compassionate space, a commitment to understanding and helping you make sense of your experience and an informed therapeutic approach that's responsive to who you are.
I work with people facing relationship problems, difficult life changes, intense emotional responses or patterns they can’t seem to get unstuck from. Some come with anxiety or depression, struggle to accept themselves or have a sense that their life could be more. You may have a diagnosis, or feelings and experiences you don’t yet have a name for, or be haunted by past events.
I specialise in working with trauma and dissociation, including PTSD and complex PTSD, and am a member of the International Society for the Study of Trauma & Dissociation (ISST-D).
In my experience, what we call symptoms are often stories wanting to be heard.
I work individually with adults 18+ in central Bristol.
