Achieving a high Diploma in Integrative Counselling, and working in the field of addiction for 5 years. My practice is dedicated to ethical warmth, with ongoing clinical supervision, creating genuine safety for both deep distress and quiet self-reflection.
Petruska Clarkson's relational model
The working alliance
The explicit agreement between client and therapist regarding confidentiality, session rhythm, and shared aims. This practical foundation establishes steady emotional containment from our first meeting.
Person-to-person connection
The real, undefended human contact between two people. Beyond clinical technique, healing unfolds when you are witnessed with authentic presence, deep respect, and unhurried emotional honesty.
Reparative relationship
A corrective relational experience that offers the consistency, acceptance, or care that was missing or painful in past relationships, gently softening long-held protective patterns.
Located near the beautiful Clifton Downs, the consulting room is intentionally arranged with soft acoustics, natural textures, and gentle lighting to support calm, unhurried conversation.
