ABOUT ME
I am a warm and compassionate psychologist with experience of working with clients experiencing a range of emotional difficulties including anxiety, low mood, PTSD, stress and burnout, low self-esteem and shame. I am experienced in working with trauma, adjustment to major life events, loss and bereavement. I also have a special interest in clinical health psychology and in supporting individuals who are experiencing health related emotional difficulties, such as adjusting to living with a diagnosis or physical symptoms, anxiety, low mood or treatment related trauma. I draw flexibly upon a range of evidence based approaches tailored to the individual and their needs.
I am chartered with the Health and Care Professionals Council (HCPC): PYL36104.
WHAT I OFFER
My aim is to provide a compassionate space to work together to make sense of your current difficulties and find helpful ways forward, which are in line with your values and what is important to you. I strongly believe in the importance of a collaborative approach, which recognises you as an expert in your own life and experiences.
My approach is tailored to the individual and their needs. I am trained in a number of evidence based models and approaches, including:
Acceptance and Commitment (ACT)
Cognitive Behavioural (CBT)
Compassion Focused
Mindfulness
I work with individuals aged 16 and over. Sessions are offered face to face (central or South Bristol), online via Zoom or via telephone.
I also offer the option of an assessment, formulation and signposting package. This includes an assessment of current difficulties and goals, an individualised report making sense of where you are at currently and suggestions for how to move forward (e.g. self helps resources, most appropriate types of therapy), along with a further session to discuss this (around 3 sessions in total).
PRICING
Sessions cost £115 and last 50 minutes. I am registered with the following insurance companies – Aviva, Axa, BUPA, Vitality.
BOOK A FREE INITIAL CONSULTATION
Whatever brings you to seeking therapy, I understand that it can feel daunting and it is important that you find a therapist who feels like the right fit for you. Please do get in contact if you have any questions. I offer a free 15 minute initial telephone call. This is the opportunity to discuss what you are looking for and what I can offer to help decide whether this feels like the right option for you.
