Counselling in BS8
It doesn't matter when you bloom, it matters that you do. I see psychotherapy as a kind and safe space for you to be seen and heard. We all have a core goodness and ability to flourish in our lives. Sometimes we need a little help to find our way.

Please note : I have some availability on Tuesdays.
I am passionate about humans' ability to heal their emotional wounds when they feel supported on their personal path. We all have greater potential and resources than we think. A lot of the times it is difficult to access these, for various reasons. Therapy helps explore the ways we relate to ourselves and others. It is a journey towards finding or becoming yourself.

You may be seeking counselling to make sense of thoughts or feelings, or look at relationships. Perhaps you're struggling with choices, feeling stuck or noticing an unhelpful pattern or past trauma? Above all, you may want something to change. I get how tough it can be to open up. With experience of working with people from a range of ethnic and class backgrounds, faiths, ages and sexualities I aim to build a relationship of trust. Welcoming and getting curious about all parts of you - such as a vulnerable, critical or rebellious part - can build connection to a more whole and vital sense of your Self, opening up more possibilities.

Your decision to explore counselling may be prompted by any number of reasons. You may have lost somebody close to you. Perhaps you are facing challenging personal or work relationships. You may be experiencing depression or fear or loneliness. Or you may wish to look at yourself and reflect on your patterns of behaviour in a new way. Counselling offers an opportunity to be your full self, to express any thoughts and feelings you may have and still feel fully accepted.

If you are struggling with anxiety, depression or low self esteem, I want to walk alongside you and help you. I aim to offer an approach that is suitable to what you are going through, where you feel met and understood. I want to help you to understand the impact your past has had in forming who you are and how you can let go of some of the things that have caused you pain and how you can grow in self awareness and self confidence and become who you were born to be.

I am a UKCP registered Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapist-in-Training in my sixth year of study at the Bath Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling (BCPC). I work in Bristol and offer affordable therapy to adults. For me, psychotherapy is largely about creating more self-acceptance. This will look different depending on your needs, but in general it will involve a compassionate and empathetic exploration of your life experiences, and how they might influence your present circumstances, to see how each may be creating blocks in your life from a healthy expression of your feelings.

Addiction Specialist and consultant/Trauma Therapist.
Some of our coping strategies are life threatening, cause fear and shame and often mask underlining issues, while creating further distress. Treatment needs an informed understanding, education, support and gentle challenge. As a lead therapist in a prestigious rehab, I manage other counsellors and work with clients bringing a specialism of trauma into the treatment of addiction. This weaves through the work in my private practice. My training, studies and experience, both professionally and personally has taken me toward looking at addiction as a symptom of psychological trauma.

If you’re struggling with the relentless grip of OCD or anxiety then you’ll know how exhausting it is to feel trapped in daily cycles of obsessive overthinking, repetitive behaviours, doubts, scary thoughts, self criticism and shame.
I understand how these can turn, seemingly simple everyday moments, into overwhelming, exhausting battles with apparently no way out. You might be scared to even share some of the content of your thoughts for fear of being judged.
I am experienced in helping people understand OCD & anxiety and break these cycles so that you can move towards living a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling again.

Hi, I’m an experienced Psychodynamic therapist and I presently work with adults and students privately and within the education sector. I understand that life can be challenging and it's not always easy to talk about our issues. I provide a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your feelings and gain insight into your life. Psychodynamic therapy focuses on unconscious processes as they are manifested in a person's present behaviour. It emphasises the importance of the individual's personal history and the role that past experiences play in current behaviour.

Hi, I'm Monica, an Integrative Psychotherapist with 30 years experience in a number of face-to-face settings including solely online since 2010. Following a specialist training while living as an Expat, I am committed to offering therapy online to a professional standard.
Working with individual adult clients across a range of diversity, I'm skilled in exploring relationship difficulties and toxicity, trauma, abuse, depression, anxiety, stress and bereavement among them. As for all us, these can often overlap, especially when past pain is re-triggered in the present and/or old coping strategies become stuck.

Hello, I'm Vicki, a fully qualified counsellor and member of the NCPS.
Times can feel hard, like that feeling when there’s no light at the end of the tunnel, when the stress feels too much, when getting out of bed feels like an achievement, or feeling like no-one understands what we’re going through. Carrying these feelings can be heavy and make us feel like we’re facing an uphill battle.
Through counselling, we can explore how you’re feeling, work through what’s bothering you, and talk about life’s challenges in a compassionate, safe and warm space, all while allowing you to be authentically yourself.
