Business Details
Bournemouth Psychotherapy & Counselling Services
I am an experienced counsellor and psychotherapist accredited by the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) with over a decade of practice in agencies, organisations, and private settings. My approach integrates relational psychodynamic theory, attachment theory, and Jungian principles to help clients explore their inner selves and relationships. I specialise in understanding how early life experiences shape current behaviours and emotional patterns, utilising insights from neuroscience to demonstrate how neural pathways can be retrained for positive change. My practice focuses on creating a safe, confidential space where clients can develop self-awareness, improve emotional regulation, and build healthier relationships. Based in Bournemouth, I work with adults over 18 facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and trauma.My commitment to ethical practice is reflected in my BPC accreditation, which upholds rigorous professional standards. I also offer supervision services for fellow practitioners seeking professional development. The consulting room provides a comfortable environment with convenient access from surrounding areas including Christchurch, Ringwood, and New Milton. Through tailored therapy sessions, I help clients uncover recurring themes from their past that may be limiting their potential, fostering personal growth and greater life satisfaction. My work is grounded in the belief that self-discovery and reflection are essential for optimal mental health.
