About Becky

Becky (she/her) moved to Bristol in 2000, initially to study for a Masters, alongside working in the homelessness sector. Her commitment to the city has continued since, both in the work she has offered, participating in the community and nowadays, in the nurturing of the two school-aged children that she lives with. She cares deeply about the future of the next generations and in doing so, the importance of creatively and generatively engaging with the challenges of our times. 

Becky is a climate-aware practitioner, working with the Climate Psychology Alliance to facilitate Climate Cafes and as a Good Grief Network certified Flow Facilitator. She is passionate about providing spaces in which the grief of the climate predicament and the intersecting issues can be shared and participants resourced in community. 

Qualifying as a clinical psychologist in 2006, Becky worked for the NHS in health psychology with people who have long term pain, chronic illness and skin conditions for eight years, delivering group and individual interventions. In 2011, she started working in private practice, seeing people from a range of backgrounds and with a range of concerns. This included long term health conditions, appearance concerns, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, relationship difficulties and more. She used an integrative therapeutic approach, drawing on relational mindfulness and compassion focussed approaches, as well as teaching mindfulness skills to groups of people accessing primary care services. She has also provided personal-injury expert witness reports for the court and taught psychological approaches to groups of health professionals, both independently and as an Association of Psychological Therapies tutor.
