Counselling in Bath
It is not easy reaching out to a therapist you do not know. I have been on my own personal journey, so I know exactly how that feels. Whatever has brought you here, whether you have a clear sense of what you need or you are simply not sure where to start, you are in the right place.
You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unable to understand why things feel so difficult. Perhaps you are carrying something from the past that has never fully settled. Perhaps there is a pattern you keep returning to despite your best intentions. Counselling offers you a calm, confidential space to slow things down, begin to understand what is really going on, and find a way through.
I offer counselling in Bath at The Practice Rooms on Upper Borough Walls, in the heart of the city. Sessions are also available online via Zoom for anyone who prefers to work from home or is not based locally.
What we can work on together
People come to me with a wide range of personal challenges. There is no set list of what counselling is for. Some of the things I regularly work with include anxiety, low mood, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, grief, loss, stress, and major life changes. If you are not sure whether what you are dealing with fits, it almost certainly does. The starting point is simply talking.
I also have a particular depth of experience working with trauma and addiction. Over the years I have worked with many people carrying the effects of difficult past experiences, and I bring both professional training and lived experience to this area of work. If either of these feels relevant to you, you can read more on the Bath trauma counselling page or the Bath addiction counselling page.
I am a BACP-registered and Relate-trained therapist. My approach is warm, direct, and shaped around what you actually need. I combine talking through what is going on with practical tools you can use between sessions, so the work does not stay confined to the therapy room.
In person in Bath and online via Zoom
I see clients at The Practice Rooms, 26 Upper Borough Walls, Bath, BA1 1RH. The building is centrally located, a short walk from Bath Spa train station and easy to reach from across the city and the surrounding area including Bradford on Avon, Frome, Trowbridge, and Keynsham.
The space is calm, private, and designed for this kind of work. Sessions run for 50 minutes and take place at a regular time, weekly or fortnightly depending on what suits you best. If coming in person does not work for you right now, Zoom sessions are equally available and work well for most people. Many clients actually prefer the flexibility of working from home, particularly in the early stages when coming to an unfamiliar place can feel like one step too many.
What you can expect over time
“When a person realises they have been deeply heard, their eyes moisten. I think in some real sense they are weeping for joy. It is as though they are saying: thank God, somebody heard me. Someone knows what it is like to be me.”
