Trauma and PTSD Counselling in Bath

Hi, I'm Elaine. I'm a child & adolescent therapist & counsellor who supports children, teens & their families to manage big feelings, stressful situations and other life challenges. I work with children & young people aged 6-18 (as well as some adults) and support them with a huge range of issues from anxiety and worries about school, fostering and adoption, to trauma, bereavement, sexual abuse and domestic violence, covering pretty much everything you can think of in-between. I'm an accredited therapist who offers play & creative arts therapy, TraumaPlay and talking therapy. I have a therapy dog who loves to be involved.

You may have feelings of dissatisfaction and a sense that you are not getting all that you want from life. You may be finding that every day is a struggle with strong, even overwhelming, feelings of depression, anxiety, stress or anger. I believe we all strive to feel happier and more fulfilled than we currently are. We want to feel a connection with other people and to have a sense that we are leading meaningful, enjoyable lives - even when we feel at a loss as to how to achieve this. I help people overcome their difficulties to become happier, more psychologically healthy and experience an improved quality of life.

I am an experienced, friendly and professional psychotherapist. I work in an integrative way to ensure I can meet the unique and individual needs of each client. I have extensive experience working with client’s (both adults and young people) who are experiencing a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties. My areas of experience and expertise include; trauma (inc. PTSD , CPTSD, DID) depression, low mood, shame and low self worth, attachment and relational trauma, phobias, anxiety, dual diagnosis and all aspects of addictive behaviour including eating disorders.

I continue to be deeply interested in understanding the unique struggle each of us undergo throughout our lives, sometimes more than once. In providing a safe, facilitating environment within which a process of unfolding, unlearning and enabling new self-learning, then an exploration can take place between us. Through greater understanding of our innermost self, together we can begin to allow the possibility for change.

I offer a safe, non-judgmental space to help with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, ptsd , and relationship issues.

I work with a wide range of anxiety and mood difficulties helping to bring about understanding and positive change. This includes depression, low esteem, panic, phobias (spiders, animals, storms, heights, emetophobia etc), social anxiety, OCD, BDD, eating disorders, health anxiety, GAD (worry), PTSD /trauma, driving anxiety, insomnia and anger/temper. I offer appointments 9am-5pm Monday to Friday.

Hello, I'm Molly a BABCP accredited CBT therapist based in Bristol, and I'm trained to work with children, adolescents and young adults experiencing depression and anxiety. I have experience in helping people with a variety of problems such as OCD, social anxiety, depression, PTSD , general anxiety/excessive worry, phobia's and separation anxiety. Using CBT techniques we can work together to make sense of the problems you are currently experiencing, and find ways to achieve your goals. I also draw on and support people with other therapy styles that I have trained in such as DBT, depending on what you would like to get from therapy.

Choosing a professional to help you with your struggles can be a stressful process. Many people have heard of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy but aren’t sure what it involves, and don’t know whether they need CBT, counselling or something else. That’s not a problem - I will provide an initial phone or video consultation to answer questions, listen to your concerns and discuss with you what you are looking for. My first session involves an assessment of your current difficulties from the perspective of a trained mental health professional, and working with you to establish whether CBT or counselling would be most beneficial for you.

I am a BABCP Accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) currently offering online therapy for a range of difficulties. I specialise in Anxiety, Depression, Psychosis and Bipolar. I am also a Registered Mental Health Nurse and have several years of experience helping those who have struggled with PTSD , social anxiety, OCD, health anxiety, panic attacks and agoraphobia. I can help you if you are struggling with mood disturbances, self esteem or body image issues. I am very experienced in helping those who hear voices, experience paranoia or hold unhelpful and distressing beliefs.

Hello, I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist and Certified Advanced Level Schema Therapist, Supervisor and Trainer with over 20 years’ experience helping adults with mental health difficulties. I work privately and within the NHS. I specialise in treating depression and anxiety difficulties, personality disorders, childhood trauma, PTSD , low self-esteem and relationship difficulties. I am regarded as warm, understanding, and kind and I always put clients’ emotional needs at the centre of my work. My clients always feel heard and understood and trust that together I can offer them sustained healing and recovery into the future.

If you are struggling with depression, difficulties in relationships, grief, anxiety or trauma, then the process of counselling can be deeply transformative. I offer a human-to-human therapeutic relationship. I'm non-judgmental, deeply empathic and compassionate; with years of experience as a humanistic therapist, I walk alongside my clients accompanying them on their journey of healing, awareness and change. I do this by deep active listening and bring anything on the edge of awareness into the light, through a client-led approach.

Life is messy and throws us off course. We experience pain, stress and anxiety for many reasons - life events, work issues, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, or feelings of low self-esteem that makes you feel stuck. We may simply feel adrift, struggling to find meaning and our place in the world. Confronting and solving problems can be a painful process which many of us avoid. Avoidance can result in greater pain and the inability to flourish both mentally and spiritually, but by working together to fully understand your issues and goals we can work towards a more fulfilled life.

I am a compassionate trauma-informed integrative practitioner with my own deeply lived experience and personal journey. I live and work in central Bath. Alongside many trainings over the years, I am committed to my therapeutic practice and my own path of personal development, healing and spiritual enquiry. My personal experience in life has been extensive and rich. I’ve walked a diverse path so far through life and this has enabled me to bring understanding to working with many people. Development and practices that sustain and resource me on this journey are somatic meditation, embodied enquiry and the wisdom of the natural world.
