Counselling in BS9
Currently Accepting New Clients.
Not everything that brings someone to therapy arrives with a clear name. Sometimes it’s a loss or a turning point; sometimes it’s quieter—an ache, a restlessness, a sense of disconnection. However it appears, I see therapy as a place to pause and pay attention—not to fix, but to meet experience more closely and listen to what it asks.

I am passionate about giving people the opportunity to live the life they want to live, instead of being hampered by negative thought patterns, beliefs and behaviours. Being qualified as person-centred integrative counsellor I work in a relational, intuitive way, giving you a safe, confidential space to be heard and understood. I see my work as walking alongside with you through crises and self-exploration to help you discover your inner strengths, competence, resilience and joy.

We live in a culture that promotes the idea of strong, powerful individuals who live picture perfect lives. There is little room for showing our vulnerability, or our need for connection. There is a cultural expectation that when things are difficult for us we should just 'get over it' and not make a fuss, this might manifest in you with thoughts of "what's wrong with me", "why is this so hard" and "I should be able to manage by myself" and so on! You may be feeling fragmented, disconnected, numb, overwhelmed, fearful, unable to cope, you might feel like giving up.

If you are looking for support with anxiety, you are in the right place.
I am an Anxiety Counsellor working with both adults and young people (aged 13+).
Anxiety can really get in the way. It can appear anywhere, at any time: at school, at work, in relationships, during pregnancy, or alongside ill health. It can show up after a loss or bereavement, or following a traumatic event. Sometimes it appears for no clear reason at all. Anxiety can range from mildly unsettling to completely overwhelming, and it can take the joy out of everyday life.

I am a Psychotherapist in my final year of training, blending mindfulness-based practice with psychotherapy to offer a holistic and reflective space. Together, we will explore how past patterns influence your present, empowering you to make choices aligned with your values. In a collaborative and compassionate environment, psychotherapy offers a chance to uncover deeper clarity, fostering self-awareness and growth at your own pace.

I am currently offering in person, online video and telephone counselling by appointment. If you are currently looking for a counsellor it may well be that you have reached a point of change. You can no longer put up with the current situation you feel you are in. You may be suffering anxious feelings or low mood, or be struggling with anger and frustration, or any number of other concerns. These are feelings that we all experience from time to time but they can be limiting and have an effect on our general happiness and satisfaction with life.

I am an experienced Integrative Counsellor with a particular interest in supporting young adults experiencing anxiety. This stage of life can bring unique pressures—academic, social, professional, and personal—and anxiety can leave you feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck. You may find yourself overthinking, struggling to manage intense emotions, feeling disconnected from others, or unsure how to understand or express what you’re going through.

Updated April 2026 - I have moved to a permanent space in Stokes Croft for in-person appointments and have some limited availability on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
I consider it a sign of bravery that you’re thinking about coming to see me for therapy. We all experience difficult and painful things in life and we all need other people to lean on, to help us through some of the more painful or challenging situations or to help us grow into kind, loving people. Working together, you'll move towards feeling better and showing up differently in the world. Together, life can get brighter.

Are you suffering with anxiety, panic, depression, stress? Having relationship problems? Struggling with low confidence or self-esteem? Are you angry, irritable, short-tempered, or generally unhappy? Is your mind full of negativity that just doesn't go away? Confused, lost, overwhelmed, unable to concentrate or make decisions? Perhaps you could benefit from professional help. Asking for help is sometimes hard to do - perhaps you see this as a sign of weakness or failure. Sometimes we can't solve everything on our own. It's OK to ask for help. Admitting you have a problem is a sign of strength.

The counselling approach I use is a person-centered one. This means in sessions I won't judge you, or advise you what to do, I'll listen intently, ask questions, give observations, sometimes offer challenges, and if appropriate I'll share theory and my own insight.
Since qualifying my work has focused on counselling individuals living with long-term conditions, including eating disorders, living with chronic pain and/or disability.
More generally I have experience of working with clients with a range of issues including anxiety, depression, loss and grief, difficulties in relationships, sexuality, shame and low self-esteem.

Hello and welcome, I'm Remona. It can be really hard choosing a Therapist when life feels so very difficult already, hopefully I can help you make up your mind. Are you feeling helpless, hopeless and disconnected from life? Lonely, depressed or struggling with your relationships? Perhaps you’re experiencing anxiety, stress or PTSD symptoms that impact you on a daily basis. Maybe you’re just feeling stuck in a rut and not sure where to go. Life can often feel messy, but no matter how big or how small your problem feels, we can work together to help you reach a more stable place.

Starting counselling can be a bit scary, but living with unresolved problems is probably much worse. I believe that conditions such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and addictive behaviour signal that something is preventing us from thriving. Recognising something in your life that you want to change is the most crucial step. I offer sessions online and also face-to-face in both Bristol & London. I also offer walking therapy to existing clients, a fantastic way to achieve therapeutic results.

Wellbeing therapy, counselling, is a strange phenomenon, as it requires you to step into yourself and express how you are feeling to a professional person who has trained in the field and is able to unravel what you are going through. I offer support, listen/hear what is being experienced with empathy using a flexible approach and work with what you bring to the sessions. I can offer a solution focused, collaborative approach which can include strategies and techniques, psycho educational materials, a creative self exploration so you are able to expand your awareness, be autonomous, develop self-efficacy to realise your goals.
