Counselling in Bristol

You might be going through tough times; struggling with past trauma, feeling anxious, moody, rejected and depressed; or having difficulty maintaining romantic or family relationships and friendships. Maybe you're not sure what is real or unreal anymore. Perhaps, you are not sure what you believe, or you feel you are struggling with your faith in God. I want to help you. We'll work together using not only evidenced based practices, but also biblical principles to help you sort things out. Let's blend psychological tools with life coaching, and the power of faith to help you bounce back, embrace who you are, and walk in your purpose.

I have over 20 years of experience working in the NHS, specialising in child and adolescent mental health. This has allowed me to gain extensive experience in working with children, adolescents, young adults, siblings and parents to overcome a wide range of psychological, emotional and behavioural difficulties.

I am the Service Lead for Third Wave Psychologist, an online clinical psychology & counselling practice. My specialisms include long-term physical health conditions ( incl. long covid, pain, fatigue, IBS, diabetes, obesity & neurological conditions- stroke, MS, Parkinsons, tinnitus, hyperacusis, misophonia) & perinatal mental health (before, during & after birth, early years parenting). I also specialise in staff wellbeing (healthcare & non-healthcare staff) & common mental health issues (e.g. stress, low mood, anger, adjustment, anxiety, trauma, bereavement & grief & self-esteem/confidence issues).

It's not always easy to reach out and ask for support. We often feel that we can manage on our own or don't want to bother anyone with our thoughts and feelings. It can be hard to find a balance between work, relationships, family & other commitments to prioritise yourself. No matter what brings you to therapy the most important part is the relationship we will share. I aim to ensure you feel heard & give you a space to work through anything you want to bring to help you have a greater insight & self-awareness and I will walk alongside you on this journey. Counselling isn't a one size fits all package it's as individual as you are.

Your relationship matters! Are you struggling with relationship, marital or family issues? Are you wanting to improve or enhance your relationship? Perhaps you’re both at a crossroads where your future as a couple seems uncertain? Maybe you’re considering separating or divorce? Are you feeling hurt, disconnected, stuck, anxious, frustrated, angry, lonely, misunderstood, overwhelmed, sad or scared? Are you struggling to communicate, connect, manage conflicts or difficult emotions, heal from loss of trust or an infidelity, establish or maintain healthy boundaries, manage family issues or adapt to change, life events or transitions?

Hi! Are you feeling stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed? Perhaps you have had difficult life experiences that you've never processed. Maybe you just want to be heard. I offer a safe, non-judgemental space to come and chat. The work is led by you, with me as a companion guide. My aim is to help you help yourself to find what you need - whether that be peace, understanding, answers or space to just be. We may explore the past and how that influences the present. Throughout the work we will build on your strengths, finding resilience and wellbeing through our conversations and the actions you put into place to look after yourself.

Worried, troubled, confused, depressed, anxious, lacking confidence, direction or sense of purpose? Talk to a highly specialised Doctoral level Psychologist, with an excellent reputation.

In any event - I can offer and integrate a range of approaches that is right for you. PLEASE NOTE - I charge between £100 - £150 per hour according to affordability. If I'm unable to answer your call immediately please leave a message or send an email and I shall get back to you as soon as possible.

Feeling safety in a complex world is no mean feet. Childhood, historic, or current experiences, interacting/reacting with the complexities brought about by the pandemic, can exhaust any capacity for resilience. maybe you're a parent/carer of children transitioning from the intensity of lockdown to the uncertainty of the easing of restrictions? Is this further complicated by returning to education settings for children with Autism, ADHD, FASD, SPD, trauma and attachment? Maybe you are a foster care or adoptive parent wondering how to rebalance the attachment bond after the intensity of lockdown, recalibrating interfamilial dynamics?
