I see clients of all ages in person at my therapy practice in central Bristol. In addition to individual therapy, I support families working through past and present hurts to nurture understanding and deepen relationships. Parenting can stir up strong and complex emotions from the depths – especially when we have experienced ruptures in our own early attachment. This may be through individual sessions with parent/s, or as parent and child sessions. Seven years in a 1980’s boarding school led me here, via a long and roundabout route. I have further trained with Professor Joy Shaverien. My passion for supporting people impacted by developmental trauma encompasses therapy for adoptive families, foster carers, and care-experienced children and young people.

My offer includes Jungian Sandplay therapy, which is suitable for individual clients of all ages and backgrounds. Drawing on person-centred, creative and trauma-informed approaches I collaborate with clients to find a pace and way of working that suits you.

I offer a free 30 minute initial consult via ‘phone or online so you can get a sense of what it might be like to work with me
