Counselling and Psychotherapy

Counselling and Psychotherapy

I am a psychotherapist and spiritual director based in south Somerset. I work with clients to navigate life transitions, loss, and spiritual growth.

You may feel stuck or held back by patterns that no longer serve you or there may be something deeper that you would like to explore. Perhaps you are seeking a greater sense of connection with yourself, others and the wider world. Perhaps you are at a crossroads and unable to see your way through. You may feel that life is passing you by or that you are on the wrong track. Together we can make room for your story, tend to patterns that no longer serve you and nurture new ways of being in the world, in relationship with yourself and with others.

If you are experiencing difficult emotions such as anxiety, sadness, loneliness, fear or anger or, if you are feeling overwhelmed, talking therapy can be a safe place to attend to your story and to what troubles you. If you are suffering through bereavement or loss, talking therapy can be a safe place to grieve. Sometimes, there are complex emotions such as shame, anger, relief or regret attached to death and loss and the therapeutic space is a confidential, non-judgemental space in which to come to terms with difficult and painful feelings.

Supporting family with Dementia

Supporting family members with dementia is demanding in ways we cannot imagine or, at times, explain. I work with individuals as they navigate the practical and emotional demands of caring for someone with dementia.

Spiritual Direction

If you would like to explore the deeper stirrings within, spiritual accompaniment, traditionally known as Spiritual Direction, is a rich and rewarding way to align what some have called the Ancient Way. Sessions are less frequent than for therapy, typically every 4-6 weeks.
