Psychodynamic Counselling in Bath

I am an experienced BPC and BACP registered Counsellor working in the centre of Bath. Whatever you are facing, counselling can offer a place to talk in confidence about what is troubling you.

How it works

How Does Counselling Work?

Psychodynamic counselling can help address your current problems, whatever these may be. I will think with you to make sense of your life experiences in the past and explore how they are affecting you in the present.

I will not impose a prescribed treatment plan on the process, but will meet you where you are emotionally, working with you to find your own way to a better understanding of yourself, and to find your strength to manage whatever is causing you difficulty.

I offer open-ended and shorter-term work, depending on what is going on for you.

From the beginning of life, we are dependent on another person to help us make sense of the world and ourselves. Sometimes in adult life too, we need another person to help us make sense of what happens and how we feel about it- and to help us move forward.

If you are feeling low, anxious, confused or stuck, or simply want to understand yourself better, Counselling can be a great help.

What To Expect

Once you contact me I will offer you one or two initial consultations for us to make sure we can work together to improve your current situation. Sessions are then weekly, at the same time and day each week. For some people, twice-weekly sessions can be beneficial, but for others once-weekly work is the better choice.

I work in the centre of Bath, at the Practice Rooms, which is a beautiful and confidential setting. I can also offer private and secure sessions online.

FEES

£50 per session (including the initial consultation), payable by BACS or cash.
