​

I'm a relational  counsellor based in Bristol, offering both in-person counselling and online. 

My approach is calm, attentive, and steady. I offer a space where you do not need to have it all figured out, explain everything perfectly, or take care of anyone else's feelings.

 

I see therapy as more than a place to talk. It’s a process that helps us arrive at something meaningful by asking the right questions, at the right time.  This isn’t just about reflection, it’s about helping you feel less overwhelmed, understand what’s going on, and begin to respond to things differently in your day-to-day life. My role is not to change my clients - it is to create  the conditions in which they can meet themselves with greater honesty, curiosity  and compassion. 

​

I have a particular interest in identity, belonging, and the sense of Self - the often overlooked layers that shape how we relate to ourselves and to others. Many of us learn to adapt in ways that help us cope or feel accepted, sometimes at the cost of feeling fully ourselves. Learning to recognise what you need, and to express it, can feel unfamiliar, even risky. Yet it is often a turning point,  one that opens the way to feeling more grounded, authentic,  and at ease in your life.​

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in both legal and NHS settings - in Bristol. Choosing to retrain in counselling was not only a professional decision, but a personal one - a shift toward understanding myself and people more deeply, beyond roles or expectations. Over time, I found myself increasingly drawn to the complexity of human experience and to questions that could not be answered through logic alone. I became interested in what lies beyond surface-level explanations: how people make sense of themselves and their lives, what makes them tick, how they navigate change, loss, and uncertainty, how meaning is created, and how we find our place within the awareness that life is impermanent.  

​

My experience of high-pressure environments and major life transitions has taught me that strength and vulnerability often exist side by side. In our sessions, you'll find a space where all parts of your experience can be met with curiosity, care and understanding.

​

Having lived in three different countries, including Romania and Germany, where I furthered my studies, I bring an awareness of how culture, environment, and change shape identity and belonging.  Beyond the therapy room, I am drawn to travelling and spending time in nature - places that offer space to reconnect and breathe. You’ll often find me out walking my dog, likely in well-worn muddy hiking boots. I also have a quiet passion for photography, capturing moments that might otherwise pass unnoticed.

​

​​We can travel many places, change direction in life, and adapt to what is asked of us, but there is something profoundly healing about finding your way back to yourself.
