Therapy
Some experiences settle once they are spoken. Others return in new places, with new people, until their shape becomes clear. I have practised as a therapist since 2013, working with individuals and couples on what keeps happening in their lives and relationships.
You may be living through change, facing a difficulty that keeps returning, or trying to understand yourself more fully.
We start with your life as it is now: the situations that unsettle you, the reactions that arrive before you choose them, and the expectations you carry into each new encounter. Over time we trace where those expectations formed and how they continue to shape what you notice and do.
An argument can repeat so faithfully that both of you know its lines. Each person brings a history into the relationship, and together you build responses that feel inevitable.
In couples sessions we slow those exchanges down. Each of you has room to speak and to hear what the other experiences, so the pattern you share becomes visible to you both.
A response often made sense in the moment it first formed. Therapy gives us the time to see which responses still serve you, which ones repeat without being chosen, and what else becomes possible once a pattern is recognised.
The work follows your pace. Some sessions stay close to one moment; others move across years. What you bring each week sets the direction.
About
I have practised as a therapist in Bristol since 2013, working in person and online with adults and couples. This agreement and the linked registration form are for adults aged 18 or over; enquiries about therapy for a 16- or 17-year-old follow a separate assessment, privacy explanation and agreement. I am a registered member of the BACP, and my work is shaped by a simple observation: what becomes recognisable to you begins to shape your reality.
Much of my practice centres on ADHD, autism and PDA, including late and undiagnosed neurodivergence, and on trauma, personality disorder, low self-worth, attachment and relationship difficulties. It is also well suited to long-standing mental-health difficulties that have not responded well to previous therapy or treatment. Across this work, we build emotional understanding and mastery: seeing the patterns that shape how life feels now, and finding greater choice within them.
Alongside the therapy practice, I developed Recognition Loops® and The Mirror Paradigm® — a framework for understanding why the same patterns return in emotions, relationships and choices, and what begins to shift once a pattern is seen. I write about this work on Substack and am building it into an app, launching in December 2026.
