Helping others find ways to manage and overcome anxiety and achieve their goals is a hugely rewarding role I feel very fortunate to have. I am a qualified clinical associate psychologist, and registered, accredited Solution Focused Therapist coach and therapist with a Masters of Science in Psychology and a Masters of Science in Clinical Associate Psychology. I have worked with mental health charities across Bristol and the UK using the solution focused approach, and more recently worked for several years within the NHS using an integrated CBT informed, solution focused approach to support children and families with a range of complex mental health difficulties.
I currently work as an autism specialist for Bath based organisation Now Next and Then, supporting autistic children and families through associated mental health, social and educational challenges. I have specialist training and extensive experience supporting those with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) am passionate about how effective the solution focused approach can be used for neurodiverse populations.
I have a private practice based out of Bristol and online, and work with clients across the UK and internationally, using solution focused coaching (talking therapy), neuroscience, hypnosis and meditative techniques.

My story

Beyond practice hours, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, reading up on the latest developments in neuroscience, and attending courses to help grow my skills and knowledge in the solution focused approach. I love writing and creating, and often consolidate my thoughts and learning on psychotherapy and solution focused techniques in my blog (read it here).
I am registered with the British Psychological Society, the National Council for Hypnotherapy, the Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council, and the Association for Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, and as such adhere to their ethical guidelines and codes of conduct in my practice.
