I am the Founder of The Charles Practice. As an MBACP accredited Psychodynamic Therapist with a wealth of experience, I am committed to delivering therapy in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment.

Having worked within the public sector in an IAPT service in Bristol, I supported a broad range of clients with various presenting issues. I now specialise in private work with an interest in gender identity and sexuality, embracing equality and diversity as a LGBTQIA+ affirmative therapist. I am a queer, non-binary person and use they/them pronouns.
