BATH PSYCHOTHERAPIST

Space to be heard. Time to make sense of things. Support that meets you where you are

WHY PSYCHOTHERAPY?

Hello, and thank you for being here.

Reaching out for support isn’t always easy—and just arriving here might already be a meaningful first step. Whether you’re feeling lost, overwhelmed, or simply wanting to understand yourself more deeply, you’re not alone. Therapy can be a space to pause, reflect, and begin to make sense of what you’re going through—with someone alongside you.

Psychotherapy is a talking therapy that offers support through life’s emotional and psychological challenges. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of how to move forward, therapy can provide a meaningful space to begin understanding yourself more deeply.

It’s important to remember that therapy isn’t a quick fix or a magic solution. It’s a process—one that unfolds over time and requires patience, openness, and care. My aim is to offer a safe, compassionate space where you can explore your feelings, thoughts, and experiences without judgment.

Some sessions may feel challenging, and that’s okay. Often, the most difficult moments can offer valuable insight. I encourage us to be curious together, even about the parts that seem small, messy, or confusing—they may hold more meaning than you think.

Sessions are held weekly and intended to be longer-term to allow for depth, continuity, and integration. This rhythm gives you time to process between sessions and supports a steady unfolding of the work.

My practice is based in Newbridge, Bath, near the Park and Ride, making it easily accessible.

Supporting you.

At Bath Psychotherapist, I offer a humanistic approach to therapy, grounded in empathy, respect, and genuine connection. My aim is to walk alongside individuals as they navigate a wide range of life challenges, including—but not limited to:

Eating Disorders

Eating disorders are serious mental health conditions that involve a complex relationship with food, body image, and self-worth. They can take many forms, including anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder, and often develop as a way of coping with difficult emotions, stress, or a need for control. While they may begin with concerns about weight or appearance, eating disorders are rarely just about food—they often reflect deeper emotional struggles. These conditions can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, or background, and can have a significant impact on physical and emotional health.

Trauma

Trauma is a mental health response that can arise after experiencing or witnessing deeply distressing events, whether over a short or extended period of time.

Common symptoms may include:

Persistent negative beliefs about yourself or the world
Intense emotions such as fear, anger, guilt, or shame
Unwanted memories, vivid dreams, or flashbacks
Avoidance of people, places, or situations that trigger painful memories

Depression & Anxiety

Depression and anxiety are common mental health conditions that affect how we think, feel, and function day to day. Depression can bring a deep sense of sadness, hopelessness, or emptiness, while anxiety often involves persistent worry, fear, or a sense of being constantly on edge. Both can impact sleep, appetite, energy levels, and concentration, and may also show up physically in the body. Everyone experiences these conditions differently, and they are not signs of weakness—they are real, human responses to stress, trauma, or overwhelming life events.

Corporate Burnout

Corporate burnout is a state of chronic physical and emotional exhaustion often driven by prolonged workplace stress, high demands, and lack of balance. It can manifest as reduced motivation, decreased performance, cynicism toward work, and a sense of disconnection from both professional and personal life. In high-pressure environments, where long hours and constant productivity are the norm, burnout can quietly build until it feels overwhelming.

ADD & ADHD

"Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) are neurodevelopmental conditions that impact a person's behaviour, focus, and impulse control. Including some of the below:

Difficulty paying attention
Hyperactivity or restlessness
Impulsivity / interrupting others
Emotional dysregulation
Disorganisation
Procrastination

Relationship Challenges

Noticing a difficulty in your relationship/s that is effecting your every day mood. This might include struggles with communication, overwhelm or anxiety. Making it difficult to emotionally regulate around others.

This might include a family history or experience. Environmental factors are important.

BPD
Borderline Personality Disorder

Borderline Personality Disorder is a complex mental health condition characterised by intense and rapidly changing emotions, difficulties in relationships, a fragile sense of identity, and impulsive behaviours. People with BPD may experience deep fears of abandonment, struggle with self-image, and find it hard to regulate overwhelming feelings. These challenges can make everyday life feel unpredictable and emotionally exhausting. While BPD can be difficult to live with, it’s important to know that with the right support and therapeutic approach, many people find greater stability, self-understanding, and connection in their lives.

OCD
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

OCD is a mental health condition characterised by persistent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviours or mental acts (compulsions) that are performed to reduce anxiety or prevent something bad from happening. These thoughts and behaviours can feel overwhelming, intrusive, and difficult to control, often interfering with daily life and emotional wellbeing. While OCD is often misunderstood or minimised, it can be deeply distressing and isolating for those who experience it

Divorce

Divorce can be one of the most emotionally challenging life events, often bringing with it a deep sense of loss, grief, confusion, and upheaval. It can affect not only the relationship that’s ending but also one's sense of identity, stability, and future plans. Feelings of anxiety, depression, loneliness, or low self-esteem are common during this time, especially when navigating complex decisions around children, finances, or living arrangements. Even when a divorce is the right choice, the emotional toll can be significant. With the right support, it's possible to process the pain, rebuild confidence, and find a renewed sense of clarity and hope moving forward.
