Affordable counselling in Bath Since 2010, I have worked with people with dementia and their carers in a health and social care setting.

I work in an integrative way; this means that I use a variety of therapeutic approaches to suit you as a unique individual or couple. Since 2012, I have experience of counselling people with a variety of mental health issues; such as addiction, trauma, relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety and bereavement. From 2012 - 2019, I specialised in supporting people with any form of eating disord

er through the Bath-based charity Focus Counselling. I have undertaken a wide range of training in this area, providing me with a strong understanding of how dementia and the role of caring can impact on a person’s life. Combined together my experience led me to work for the counselling service for Alzheimer’s Support. From my experience in working with people facing a life-changing diagnosis, I also have provided counselling for two charities: We Hear You and Penny Brohn UK; helping people with cancer and other terminal illness and their families. Couples Counselling

My approach to couples therapy provides a safe space to explore the impact of conflict or impasse which may be a block to affection and intimacy. I will work with you to help you and your partner identify which needs are not being met, how these can be safely communicated and heard; working towards a healthier relationship and individual growth. Couples therapy is not limited to romantic partners or spouses, but for any two people in a relationship, for example friends and family members. Additional Skills

I offer creativity and artistic expression in counselling sessions as a means of self-exploration and reaching new understanding; as words can often limit our ability to express our feelings. I am a “Dissociative-Friendly” therapist and can be found on the PODS (Positive Outcomes for Dissociative Survivors) register. This means that I am happy to work with people who experience dissociative symptoms from past traumas. More information about dissociative identity disorder and the register can be be found here – http://www.pods-online.org.uk/

Since 2012, I have been facilitating support groups for different client groups including, people with dementia, carers, people with eating disorders and young people with anxiety. I have developed and delivered educational workshops for professionals working with people with dementia and people with eating disorders. BACP Registration and Accreditation

A helpful article on anger..."We can’t escape anger. We shouldn’t want to. It’s a powerful agent of change – if embraced positively."

This week I received the very welcome news that, after much hard work, I had at last achieved BACP accreditation. Since qualifying in 2015, I have worked hard towards reaching this latest professional milestone. It has been a great challenge along the way, but one that I am immensely proud to have taken on.

BACP accreditation formally recognises the attainment of high standards of knowledge, experience and development in counselling practice. I am confident that this standard of practice will enable me to better serve the needs of my clients now and in future.

If yourself or anyone you know is interested in seeking counselling, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

An interesting read about compulsive behaviour and the meaning behind them:

Some compulsions are simply expressions of psychological needs we all feel, writes Sharon Begley

Eating disorders are sadly not just a young persons mental health problem...

Anorexia and bulimia are mental illnesses. They may start with a wish to have the perfect body, but a pattern emerges that is akin to drug addiction

Today is so-called Blue Monday. I hope this means that depression and other mental health problems aren't being trivialised and that people remember that mental ill-health affects people 365 days of the year...

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week and its focus this year is on relationships and how important they are for our physical and mental health. Mental Health Foundation have produced a guide on why relationships are important and how they affect us over our life span. You can download it here -

Relationships are one of the most important aspects of our lives, yet we can often forget just how crucial our connections with other people are for our physical and mental health and wellbeing.

A good compilation of mental health apps...

I have compiled a list of 9 of the best mental health apps (in my humble opinion). I have personally used all of these apps, and while none of them have cured my bipolar (yet), they have significantly helped with some of the symptoms, improved my wellness, and allowed me track my progress. I hope …
