You may be considering therapy in the hope of something better. Life might be feeling like a real struggle now or maybe has for a while. There may be difficult feelings like anxiety, a lack of interest in things coupled with challenges in your intimate relationships or at work. You may have a very specific issue that you would like to explore, or a general sense of ill-being and things not feeling quite right. Whatever is bringing you here is both unique to you and your story, and very human. Therapy can offer a place where those painful feelings and thoughts are not only welcome, but seen as offering a catalyst for change.

At times we all feel like we’ve lost hope. The hope that things can improve, the hope our distress will reduce and the hope that we’ll feel less alone. But that hope is never gone for good, and we just need someone to help us find it again. Whether you are struggling with stress, relationship difficulties, past trauma, anxiety, depression or things that you just can’t make sense of, I can help. At times I will guide you, but most importantly I endeavour to support and empower you to take control of your own mental health and instil a renewed sense of hope and emotional wellbeing in a safe and compassionate space.

This is where I can help. I specialise in working with neurodiverse individuals, offering an integrative approach tailored to your unique needs.

Hello, I'm Jenny, an accredited CBT/REBT therapist based in Bristol, in practice for six years. My approach to therapy is focused on equipping my clients to achieve their goals, and I'm a big believer in people’s ability to change their own situations once they're supported in doing so. I see my job as being to help my clients see the power and agency they have over how they experience their lives, where many feel stuck, helpless, or like 'victims of circumstance'. I'm especially interested in working with anxiety, phobias, and anger.

I work in Bristol, offering a compassionate and confidential space in which to explore feelings and experiences at a pace which suits you. You may come with specific things that you would like to talk about, or you may struggle to articulate what you're feeling and why. Psychotherapy offers a space to uncover those difficult feelings and for you to be fully heard, perhaps for the first time. It is my belief that this kind of therapy can lead us into greater understanding and acceptance of ourselves, which in turn provides the opportunity for freedom and change.

I am an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapists based in Bristol and online. I work relationally which means creating a warm, honest relationship where you feel comfortable to be yourself and explore what is really going on for you. We can often carry around grief, shame, or self-doubt that has been built up over a time… this often doesn’t belong to us… instead it has been given by family, relationships, society, culture etc… and can result in unhealthy behaviours/relationships. Through therapy we can untangle what is ours from what belongs to others and give a voice to the authentic self hidden within!

I am a qualified counsellor offering face to face therapy in Southville and Old Market in Bristol. I am trained to work with different methods of psychotherapy – as what may work for one person, might not work well for another. I approach therapy as a working partnership where you will be given the time and space to make sense of your experiences, thoughts and feelings. Therapy might be seen as a gradual process of reclaiming our emotional and physical selves; helping us to see our relationship to life and others in ways that allow us to make better choices and to move forward in life.

Psychotherapy deals with current problems. You may come because of a particular relationship issue or you may not be sure exactly what the problem is but find yourself repeating painful or limiting patterns in life. It may only be through talking to someone that you gain an understanding of what you want to work on. Therapy can be a gradual unfolding process where you have the opportunity to understand how you have become the person you are. This may include talking about how the past has influenced you, exploring your relationships then and now and the way you respond to your life as it is.

I train people in how to enhance their self-belief for: performance optimisation, emotional regulation, resilience & effective decision making. Pressure in performance environments is a certainty. How we perceive pressure, determines our response. We can choose how to think about pressure and this depends on our level of self-belief, the essential ingredient when navigating demanding environments.
