About me

Beginning therapy can feel daunting and finding someone you feel comfortable talking to is an important part of the process.  

My name is Siobhan Farrimond and I am a UKCP Registered Psychotherapist. 

I offer a warm, respectful and thoughtful space where you can bring whatever feels important, without pressure, judgement or expectation. I find too much jargon or mystery around therapy unhelpful, so I aim to be clear, consistent and compassionate throughout my work, even when the conversations are challenging. 

My approach is thoughtful, engaged and collaborative. Whilst I value reflection and curiosity, I am also interested in helping people make sense of their experiences in ways that feel meaningful and relevant to their lives. Alongside careful listening, I offer observations, questions and perspectives that help deepen understanding and open up new possibilities. My aim is not simply to provide a space to talk, but to support meaningful understanding and change. 

Where it feels helpful, we can also explore the relationship between mind and body, and consider practical ways of working with stress, emotional overwhelm and nervous system regulation. 

I hold a diploma and a Masters degree in Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy. I am also fully accredited as a Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapist registered with UKCP, the leading regulator for psychotherapy in the UK. My UKCP registration number is: 2011175183. 

My integrative training means I can draw from many modalities to help understand my clients’ unique patterns of thinking and the ways in which we relate to ourselves and others. 

I believe our minds and bodies are deeply connected so if it feels useful, part of our work could consider how what we feel emotionally relates to what we feel physically. 

I work collaboratively so you won’t be interrogated or put under pressure and there won’t be anything ‘done to you.’ The work is led by you and our goal is always to help you come to a deeper understanding of yourself. 

As well as offering psychotherapy in Salisbury, I have worked for the Bath Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling (BCPC) Low Cost Service, providing short to medium term counselling for adults facing a wide range of difficulties. 

I have successfully helped clients who have experienced: 

• Anxiety 
• Depression 
• Relationship difficulties 
• Trauma 
• Eating Disorders and Body image issues 
• Fertility struggles  
• Lack of motivation or direction 
• Finding life too difficult to manage 
• Substance abuse and other dependices
• Loss and bereavement
• Sexual abuse

I am a registered member of the  United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapists (UKCP) in the Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy College. My work adheres to their stringent code of practice and ethics. 

I am committed to providing inclusive mental health and wellbeing support as detailed in  my diversity and equality statement. 

Beginning therapy can feel daunting, and finding the right therapist is an important decision.
