If you are looking for therapy in Bristol then I can help. Life can be complicated and sometimes we need support to make changes and improve the quality of our lives. If you are reading this there is a good chance that you are close to making the decision to seek therapy.
Entering into counselling or psychotherapy can be one of the hardest but bravest decisions you can make for yourself.
I have extensive clinical training and experience treating a diverse range of issues that have required both long and short term therapy. This experience includes working with bereavement and loss, trauma, sexual abuse, addictions, dual diagnosis, eating disorders, self-harming behaviour, relationship problems, corporate burnout, depression and anxiety.
I am passionate about the emerging field of neuropsychotherapy which is a multidisciplinary perspective on mental well-being that looks to neuroscience and other related fields of human biology and psychology to enhance the clinical practice of talking therapies.
