About Me

I am a psychotherapist and supervisor working online and in person in Clifton, Bristol.

As a therapist, working in an embodied way is central to my practice. Bringing awareness into the body creates a sense of grounded safety in therapy and provides the holding needed when working with sensitive issues from the past. Supporting clients to bring their awareness to their felt experience can also help deepen inner inquiry. This supports a trauma informed approach where sensitivity and attention to the body are included.

I recognise the value of exploring what comes up relationally between myself and my clients as an important part of the work and at times my also share my own experience if it feels in service of the client. I also draw on psychodynamic theories exploring how we have been shaped by experience in childhood, alongside other approaches such as parts work.

My practice is influenced by 15 years in Children and Families Social Work in London, holding challenging work in individual and group contexts. Before this, I studied French and then Hindi at SOAS, and have lived and worked in communities in both India and France.

I am committed to learning and development in psychotherapy, and have two clinical supervisors, two peer supervision groups and a reading group focusing on issues of social justice. Since 2021, I have attended several group work retreats a year, using the mirror of community to bring awareness to my own self-limiting patterns and beliefs.

Outside of work, I love to be in nature, to exercise, dance, write, play guitar, and cook.
