The difference counselling can make
There are times when life feels too much to cope with on your own. You may be weighed down by anxious thoughts, sadness that won’t lift or the pain of loss.
Perhaps you find yourself caught in patterns of self-doubt or uncertainty in relationships, leaving you unsure how to move forward.
Through counselling, you’ll find support in a peaceful and secluded part of Bath to pause and make sense of what you’re experiencing.
What to expect in a therapy session
In our therapy sessions we will look at the feelings and challenges that may feel overwhelming right now and begin to uncover the strength and clarity that already exists within you.
Within a space which feels calm, steady and fully supportive, I listen carefully, reflect with you and sometimes offer gentle prompts or questions that can open up new perspectives.
Our sessions will move at a pace which feels right for you, allowing time to pause, think, or simply sit with what’s emerging, with understanding and support at the heart of the process.
Over time, many clients find this helps them feel lighter and less alone with what they’re carrying, giving shape to thoughts and feelings and a clearer sense of perspective.
It can also provide practical strategies for navigating life’s challenges, building resilience and strengthening self-confidence.
Above all, through our work together you will begin to feel more grounded, more at peace with yourself and better equipped to move forward in the way that feels right for you.
Talking therapy - Choosing to take this step with me
Talking therapy doesn’t erase life’s difficulties, but it can help to ease the load, bring perspective and open up new possibilities.
Central to my counselling is a person-centred approach. This means therapy is shaped around you, your experiences and what feels important to bring into the room.
It’s a way of working which places emphasis on empathy, understanding and genuine respect, creating a safe space where you can feel fully heard without judgement.
Alongside this, I bring in a pluralistic perspective. In practice, this means drawing from a range of different therapeutic approaches, working holistically to find what best supports you when looking at emotional and relational areas of your life.
Sometimes this may involve reflecting on the past and how it shapes the present; at other times, it may focus more on practical strategies for change.
Together this flexible, responsive style of counselling built on shared discussion, adjusts to match your needs and goals as they unfold and evolve.
You may wish to look at issues such as:
Anxiety and stress
Finding ways to ease racing thoughts and restore a sense of calm.
Work and relationship difficulties
Exploring patterns that leave you stuck and supporting healthier ways of relating.
Times of change
Whether it’s moving home, adjusting to a new role or facing an unexpected life shift, therapy can help you steady yourself and adapt.
Bereavement and loss
Creating space to process grief, honour memories and gradually find your footing again.
Addiction and harmful habits
Understanding the pull of these behaviours and working towards gentler, more sustainable choices.
Meeting in the way that feels right for you
Counselling can take place either in person - here in my quiet practice in Bath - or online if that feels more comfortable or practical.
Both options offer the same level of care, confidentiality and support - it’s about what suits you best.
Some people value the calm of being physically present in the room, while others prefer the flexibility and ease of connecting from home. The choice is yours.
