Psychotherapy and Supervision
A non-judgemental space that values human connection evoking inner healing and growth.
I am a fully qualified accredited Psychotherapist with an Advanced Certificate in Relational Supervision. I work from a foundation of deep professional training and remain committed to ongoing supervision and continuous professional development.
That said, who I am, and what I bring to the therapeutic space, is so much more than my qualifications.
I am also a mother, a grandmother, a jewellery maker, and a singer with a passion for natural vocal expression. For several years, I worked with musicians who loved to improvise together. It was those creative, collaborative moments - when the instruments and voices connected, evolved, and transformed through presence and play - that I first awakened to what would become my path in psychotherapy.
It's this same spirit I bring to my work with clients: deep listening, curious, attuned, open to what arises in the moment. I believe therapy can be a space of exploration, discovery, healing, and renewal. A place where, together, we create something more than each of us can do alone.
I never tire of the learning journey, and I'm always honoured to walk alongside others on theirs.
If you are looking for someone who offers both solid professional grounding and a warm, creative, collaborative approach - I'd love to hear from you.
I offer both short-term and long-term psychotherapy.
Short-term work focuses on a specific issue or challenge you may be facing right now. Longer-term work allows us to explore deeper, often unconscious patterns of thought and responses - many of which are rooted in early life experiences. As an Integrative psychotherapist, I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches to best meet your individual needs. Central to my work is the therapeutic relationship itself: a safe, non judgemental, and containing space where you can explore what is happening for you in the present moment.
I pay close attention to the body and how it holds our emotional experience - in relation to trauma. Traumatic memories are often stored not just in the mind, but in the nervous system - manifesting through tension, pain, or shut down (Fight/flight/freeze responses). Together, we might gently explore what is happening in your body, or notice a word or sound that feels stuck or unspoken. We might also explore your imagination - what images, metaphors, or inner voices are present right now in the session.
This kind of embodied, relational work can be both subtle and powerful.
I am a qualified Relational Supervisor offering both individual and group sessions.
Good supervision isn't just helpful, it's essential in the helping professions. I offer a non hierarchical, non-judgemental space where practitioners can reflect honestly and safely on their work.
This includes the more uncomfortable areas of practice - the places that may stir feelings of shame, guilt, or uncertainty. Without a space to explore these experiences openly, they often remain hidden, even from ourselves, and can quietly shape how we respond to those we support.
When I first became a psychotherapist I was deeply moved by how transformative good supervision could be, At the same time, I was struck by how rare this kind of support was in other frontline roles. Over the past twelve years, I've worked within the mental health sector in Bristol, providing supervision for managers and engagement workers - people who are deeply committed to their work, but often stretched to the point of burnout.
I bring a grounded, compassionate and relational approach to supervision, supporting practitioners to stay connected to themselves and the values that drew them to this work in the first place. I offer a space where you can reflect, recalibrate, and feel supported in your professional journey.
Although I work in an Integrative way, I have a passion for vocal expression. So many of us unconsciously suppress our voices - literally and emotionally. Over time, this can manifest in , breath-holding, or a chronic tightness in the body. These holding patterns can become so familiar that sadness, numbness, or even depression starts to feel like the norm.
When we begin to gently make the sounds we have held back - sounds we may never have given ourselves permission to express - something can shift. Vocal expression can help release emotional blocks in the body, reconnect us with our feelings, and restore a sense of flow and aliveness.
This work isn't about singing "well" or sounding a certain way. It's about exploring your authentic voice with curiosity, without judgement. It's a journey of self-connection, breath by breath, sound by sound.
I have had clients who experience an anger rising up from their stomach but getting stuck in their throat. Together, we begin by simply imagining what that sound might be like. No pressure to make it, just curiosity. Then we breathe together and on the out-breath we make a soft sigh. Starting small, with my sound supporting theirs, we find a way to begin.
If you feel like your voice is suppressed or unheard, feel free to contact me.
