Counselling in Redland, Bristol

Welcome to my Counselling & Psychotherapy Service in Bristol and Cheltenham. I am an experienced and fully accredited Psychotherapist (MA Dip, Hip) and UKCP registered. I see clients with a range of issues on both a long term and short-term basis.

Hello, I am Isabella. I offer a compassionate and non-judgmental space for you to talk and to be heard. I see the relationship we build together as central. Our work together might include exploring difficult feelings or thoughts in the present and how they may connect to past experiences and relationships. I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists), graduate member of the BPS (British Psychological Society) and a counselling psychologist in training (clinical training completed, currently at the end of writing up my research thesis).

Psychotherapy can be a useful tool in helping us to manage life's difficulties. It can be a place for you to explore issues that you are currently struggling with, such as anxiety or depression, or just an opportunity to understand yourself better. In my practice, I am specifically interested in working with you to create more self-acceptance. This can look different for different people, but in general it will involve a compassionate and empathic exploration of past experiences, and how they might interact with our present circumstances, to see how each may be creating blocks in our lives from a healthy expression of our feelings.

Hello, I'm Jenny, an accredited CBT/REBT therapist based in Bristol. I aim to offer my clients a combination of a compassionate, respectful and non-judgemental space in which to share their experiences and problems, and an approach to therapy that is focused on equipping them to achieve their goals. I'm a big believer in people’s ability to change their own situations and 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, anxiety disorders, and anger.

If life feels like its falling apart and you feel lost, I can help you find your way back home reconnecting you to your mind, body and soul. Turning toward our suffering is not easy and you have already taking a very brave step by seeking help. I offer you a warm, open and peaceful space to gently explore the places in your life that feel disconnected and investigate the impact of this on your emotional, mental and physical health and wellbeing.

I love to work with people who are interested in getting to the root of their issues and are open minded to exploring novel approaches. Coping mechanisms can provide useful ways for us to function in life, but it is only when we get to the heart of an issue that a lasting solution can be found. If you are looking for deep and lasting change, then this approach may be right for you.

I am an Integrative Counsellor, with extensive experience and specialist training in Trauma Therapy. I work with both adults and adolescents.

You may be experiencing low mood, anxiety, PTSD, bereavement or relationship breakdown. Whatever your need, I am here to listen and can help you to make sense of your experiences and feelings and find your own way forward.

"I am fascinated about Humans' ability to heal their emotional wounds when they feel supported and accompanied on their personal life 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 can help with explore our ways and difficulties to relate to ourselves and others. It facilitates the journey towards finding / becoming yourself".

Welcome- starting psychotherapy is a brave decision, and I offer a safe and confidential space to explore whatever it is that has brought you here. Psychotherapy can be a challenging yet also a very exhilarating experience. It is the art of learning to live fully and inhabiting your potential. Change can come from examining and talking through old habits of negative self perceptions, and bringing compassion to self-judgment. Being from a creative background myself, I am open to all means of expression and communication in the therapy space, whether it be spoken, drawn, sung or played.

Why counselling - There are times where the pressures of life can leave us feeling overwhelmed. For many of us how we feel within ourselves is crucial in day to day life. Wherever we may find ourselves the process of counselling can give us the ability to sculpt and create a vision of belonging that is both true to ourselves and allows us to flourish. What I provide is a non-judgemental, warm and genuine approach focused on person centred therapy. This approach ensures that the client is held throughout the process and feels comfortable exploring experiences both past and present in a safe environment.

Firstly, welcome. Perhaps you’ve been living day-to-day and realise that you no longer recognise who you are and you’re not the person you used to be. You feel strongly that this isn’t you and you’re more than this. Maybe there has been a recent significant life change or it might be this way of being has slowly crept up and happened over time. You may have just tried to get on with things and think tomorrow will be better but nothing changes and you don’t know where to turn. Sometimes you feel low or anxious, you want things to change but you’re not sure where to begin and now your relationships, work, education are being affected.
