You may be seeking counselling for a specific issue such as: stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem or feeling sad and these are all good reasons for seeking support. Alternatively your reason might be more difficult to put into words, not everyone has an identifiable reason for seeking support. Whatever your reason for counselling, I provide a confidential and non-judgmental space where your experiences, thoughts and feelings can be expressed and explored.

Relationships can be complicated and when they are not going well, they can lead to stress, anxiety, low mood, isolation and disconnection. We can work together to understand how and why these difficulties may have arisen and what needs to change. This may be the relationship you have with yourself (perhaps issues with self esteem, confidence, anxiety, sadness or uncertainty about your future). It might be the relationship you have with family members (where there might be tension, illness, parenting difficulties) or with your partner (where you might be struggling with disconnection, infidelity, separation).

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.

My therapeutic practice provides a safe and supported place in which to explore your concerns, come to understand yourself better, and move your life forwards in the way you want it to go. I am qualified both as a counsellor and a psychotherapist and am UKCP registered. I work with individuals and with couples, or any combination of two people where a problem has arisen which needs to be resolved, such as mother and daughter or two friends.

Coming to therapy can feel like a big decision and finding the right therapist for you can sometimes feel like a daunting task. I believe that the therapy relationship is key to personal growth, feeling understood, supported and helped through challenging and distressing life experiences. I offer a safe and confidential space for people who are seeking support with the experiences of emotional distress and challenges that most of us face at various junctures in life. I am a compassionate, warm and approachable therapist and we will work together in a collaborative way to find what works best for you

There are many reasons why people seek time and space to talk and reflect. You might want to talk about thoughts and feelings that are difficult to discuss with others, or consider what has happened to bring you to this point in your life. This can be a space for exploration and discovery, a protected hour in which you will be listened to. My focus is on listening openly, without judgment, to whatever you bring. I will listen to your experiences and your point of view and together we can look at different perspectives which can help you to live more freely.

I offer a safe & confidential place for you to come and talk about anything in your life that may be causing you distress or confusion. I believe that counselling can benefit anyone; it can really help to talk to someone who is objective & professional. Often people come to counselling with no clear idea of what they want or how they feel. There is no expectation from me with regards to the issues you bring; counselling is your space & it is common for people to feel confused or unsure. My aim is to support you through the process & help you to better understand yourself & your struggles, so that you can move forward with your life.

I'm an integrative counsellor, which means that I don't believe there is a one size fits all approach when it comes to therapy. So whether you prefer structured CBT or to express yourself through the arts I will tailor therapy according to your needs. I have years of experience working with both women and young people, having worked for respected charities like Women's Aid (as a Domestic abuse specialist) and Off the Record. I have a good understanding of the issues that specifically effect these groups, and I feel passionate about enabling both to have their voices heard.

I work with adults and children affected by stress, anxiety, relationship issues, loss or bereavement, physical ill health and injury. This includes working with people who are pre or post medical diagnosis or intervention and people experiencing medical trauma. I also work with the friends and family of people who are experiencing these life events or circumstances, including parents of children.

Are you battling something? Perhaps parts of a broken childhood have begun to make their effects known. Feeling lost and broken and don't know how to change, or are the odds stacked against you and you feel overwhelmed. If it feels like no-one is on your side and no one understands, I truly believe that change is possible. The reason I do this work is that with the right support and input people can change. I know because I've witnessed it in my practice so many times. For some, finding the root of a lifetime of negative feelings is completely transforming for others a confirmation, but for everyone it brings healing.

The most important element of counselling is the connection you have with your counsellor. I know how important it is for you to feel heard, validated, and aligned with the person you are choosing to trust. I started training as a therapist seven years ago, in my early twenties, as I wanted to help people in a more in depth way. I have since then enjoyed helping a wide range of people from all walks of life get to a better psychological and emotional pIace, with most of my experience focussing on working with children & young adults (9-30).

We are all living in challenging times right now, the impact of which will be affecting us in a variety of ways. You may be feeling anxious, distressed, fearful of what is happening. You may be angry or feeling a sense of loss. Whatever is going on for you, online counselling is an option for you to safely explore this. It can provide a connection in times when you may be feeling cut off from people. You may be experiencing more longstanding difficulties and online counselling is a space for these too.

I’m a qualified therapist involving Humanistic and integrative counselling. I have professional and personal experience working in and through Anxiety, Stress, Low Self-Esteem, Depression,  drug and alcohol addiction, issues around bullying, as well as PTSD and trauma. I also have experience working with those in Nerd/Geek and Alternative Culture.

My aim is to help you explore any issues that interfere with your mental and emotional wellbeing, and to help you find your own resources to live better. I have always been very interested in understanding what makes people cope, heal and thrive. I know an essential part of the answer comes down to having an environment that supports self-reflection, self-regard and growth. I believe counselling can be that time and space we need to make sense of our experiences, to express ourselves, to explore what configures our identity, to clarify stressors and to update coping strategies.

14 years practice with young people, adults and families in private, community, health & education settings. I have broad training and experience and a commitment to providing a positive experience of therapy with good outcomes. My supervision work facilitates personal and professional growth: one to one, groups & online. Solid experience establishing a charity and therapuetic services in education. I use appropriate and effective models and am passionate about facilitating change and transformation using creative, dynamic, integrative therapy, with the needs of the client, supervisee, organisation at the heart of the work.

I understand it takes a lot of courage for many people to come to therapy perhaps for the first time or even on each visit, I provide a counselling/psychological therapy service from my home in Westbury Park Bristol which is a safe space and where you will receive a warm welcome. I endeavour to shape the therapy to meet my client’s needs rather than just come from one theory (I do not believe in one size fits all); hence I have an eclectic approach to my work drawn from many years experience in many different settings.

Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship issues, panic attacks, challenging life transitions, loss? Do you feel stuck? Do you have unresolved family issues? Talking to a counsellor can help. I offer a safe, warm and non-judgemental space where we can explore your difficulties with the aim of understanding more about your feelings, thoughts and behaviour - enabling you to move forward with your life with a greater sense of well being and new strategies for navigating this complex world!

I offer a respectful, warm and empathetic ear, together with a safe, neutral space to help you to talk, and work through any issues you may have. I am not here to tell you what to do nor give advice; I am here to help you explore and discover your feelings I offer a free 10-15 minute consultation on the phone as a way to introduce myself and give you an opportunity to ask any questions you may have about me and the counselling process. Sessions will differ depending on the mode of therapy we decide to use. We may work more in the here and now or, we may look at where issues have stemmed from in the past: I will be led by you.

Counselling can help provide the space to talk and reflect on things that may be worrying us, it allows people to discuss their problems and any difficult feelings they encounter in a safe, confidential environment. Being self-aware and having the capability to think and feel emotions with clarity and understanding is part and parcel of being human and counselling can help us feel both more aware and less overwhelmed by aspects of our human life. I truly believe in the power of counselling and am honoured to be able to work with people in difficult and stressful times.

Counselling offers a confidential place to explore feelings without any pressure or judgement. This process can help reduce confusion and help make life more manageable.
