Bereavement Counselling in Bristol
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.
My background's in Nursing and the Art' so have a diverse scope of experience. Maybe you struggling with relationships, family issues, depression, trauma or low self-worth? Maybe low self esteem has led to addiction or other strategies or behaviour that are not longer serving you. Maybe a diagnosis or relaisation of ADHD or Autism has left you feeling lost?

I work with clients facing challenges like bereavement, sexual and relationship issues, and exploring non-traditional relationship dynamics like polyamory.
You might feel stuck in old patterns—overwhelmed, anxious, or burnt out from always holding it together. EMDR therapy works with your nervous system to gently shift what’s stuck so you can feel calm, clear, and in control. Sessions with me are steady and grounded, with no need to explain everything perfectly or perform your pain. We go at your pace. I offer in-person and online sessions, EMDR intensives, and block bookings for those who want to go deeper.

Whether it's relationship difficulties, abuse, depression, anxiety, disordered eating, addiction, grief, loss or stress perhaps even a tough decision, therapy can be a helpful place to gain support.
I'm a humanistic integrative counsellor- this means I work with several theoretical ideas. Fundamentally I will sit down with you, listen and offer the response and knowledge that feels right. We'll explore what's troubling you together- it's my belief that therapy is a collaborative process. I work reflectively but am also comfortable getting practical.

Whether it’s anger, bereavement, bullying, life having no purpose, low-self esteem, the menopause, personal development, redundancy or retirement.
Counselling and psychotherapy is about you: your concerns, and your wellbeing. We can talk about me, and what clients say about me later. But for now, let's establish how you can benefit from professional support...... Does any of this sound like you? "I want to reduce stress" "I feel anxious all the time" "I wish I was more confident and less critical about myself " "I want to feel optimistic instead of negative all the time" ...Or perhaps you want some direction in life, become more productive or improve your relationships?

With people who have suffered bereavement, the end of a relationship or who are struggling with relationships that aren't working and leave them feeling unhappy.
The approach to therapy that I take, namely existential therapy, emphasises the freedom of the client to bring as much or as little of themselves to sessions as they desire. In my experience this approach tends to open up possible ways of seeing ourselves in the world providing us with novel ways of being that were previously difficult to imagine.

Counselling can help you to process major life events (like a bereavement or breakdown of a relationship), recognise and understand patterns of behaviour, process and heal from past experiences and find manageable coping mechanisms and make meaningful changes.
I am a Person-Centred Counsellor offering support to individuals face to face, online and via the telephone. People reach out for counselling for many reasons and choosing to engage in this work is an amazing act of self-care. I understand that taking those first steps on your counselling journey can feel very daunting, maybe even a bit frightening, but I offer a safe and confidential space for you to explore any difficulties you are experiencing and an empathetic, non-judgmental, warm, and friendly environment for us to work in.

I work in a gental and collaborative way to help you to understand what is happening in your life and how you can make positive changes.
