Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) Counselling in Bristol

I am a warm, empathetic and non-judgemental psychotherapist and counsellor. I have worked with adults, young people and families for many years and am passionate about helping people on their way towards making change and living happier and more fulfilled lives. I offer a safe, non-judgemental environment in which you can explore what is going on for you and the impact this is having on your life. I offer a free, no-obligation, introductory session either on the telephone or online and both short term and longer term counselling is available.

What you get from me is an attentive and proactive ally. I am friendly and compassionate, but I won't passively observe unhelpful patterns that are barriers to change. Challenging when necessary and in solidarity with the part of you that knows things can be better, will be a key aspect of our relationship. Profound and lasting changes are possible, which is why I encourage people to address the root causes of unhappiness and not settle for learning to live with problems and symptoms that can often be resolved.

The psychologist can help you. Count on the support of a professional.

I specialise in cognitive behavioural therapy ( CBT ) for depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Depression is characterised by low mood and a loss of interest in daily activities. PTSD occurs after a significantly distressing event or events, such as a near death experience or sexual violence. It is identified by avoidance of trauma reminders, flashbacks or nightmares and feeling physically alert (ie. startling easily, irritability, difficulties concentrating).

Whether the cause is school or work-related stress, a relationship issue, a bereavement, pregnancy, physical ill health, a traumatic event or something else, I offer the opportunity for you to become more at ease within your body and mind - freeing you up to make the changes you want to see within yourself and your life.

CBT is an ideal treatment for clients who are looking to change, whether that be to make some changes in the way in which they think about things, or some changes in the way in which they go about day to day life. Some of this change may involve learning new skills, for example, assertiveness. In addition to helping clients feel confident and autonomous throughout treatment, CBT can also help clients come to an understanding of 'why', E.G. what is it about you, your experiences and vulnerabilities which perhaps help explain why you struggle with X (E.G. Anxiety). This is often validating and helpful rather than self blaming.

I work with people struggling with anxiety, difficult relationships, stress, low mood, trauma, low self-esteem, loss, and adjustment to physical health conditions. I value working with clients to develop insight into patterns of problematic thinking and behaviour, and understand where these may have arisen from. As much as I believe in looking to the past to make sense of difficulties, I am also keen to support you to be future focused, so that life can feel “lighter” and your values restored.

If you’re experiencing difficulties such as excessive worrying, sleepless nights, low motivation or unhelpful thoughts around “not been good enough”, “being a burden” or simply “not being able to cope”, then you may be among the many others who have benefitted from therapy.
