You wake up tense, shutting down to your partner or reacting to small things.
My practice focuses on relational healing for individuals and couples ready for deep, slow work. We aren't here for a quick fix. In a world where you constantly hold things together, I offer a calm space to simply be and drop the mask. We will look beyond symptoms to realign your nervous system and integrate parts you've had to push down.

It draws on psychodynamic, relational and Buddhist perspectives in considering how we have been shaped by early experiences in life and the importance of relationship in our life in terms of healing and transformation in our lives.
Hello. I am a psychotherapist and supervisor working in Clifton, Bristol. The space I offer is held with positive regard where all of your experience is welcome. Good therapy can help us to trust out hearts more. In sharing those parts of us that do not feel ok and are hard to be with, we can find more ground in relation to our difficulties. In so doing we become clearer about our needs and more able to live a happy and fulfilled life. I am currently offering low cost supervision to counsellors and psychotherapists. Please contact me for more information.

However, my specialisms have always been helping people who have experienced trauma, supporting couples and families - including pre-marital/child therapy, understanding neurodivergence and trans-generational issues.
Thank you for taking the time to look my profile. My approach to working with you is about what you want to work on and achieve in therapy. Whether you are experiencing sadness, depression or a sense of disconnection, the human condition is characterised by a fundamental desire for connection and being heard. I work holistically on your whole self - the mind and body as one. This is firmly routed in my trainings and experience. I have a relaxed and informal approach, which supports your ability to be truly who you are, in a non-judgemental and confidential environment.

I see a lot of clients with relationship issues as well as depression, anxiety, sexual identity, suicide and trauma.
I work from a person-centred approach. I find the clients I work with find value in exploring their issues in the room and having someone to listen, to challenge them and to look for solutions together. There is no rush and I work at the clients pace.

Whether you come to me for longer term psychotherapy, shorter term work, or for CBT/REBT, my initial aim will always be the same; to create a warm, secure, boundaried space in which we can build our therapeutic relationship.
I am interested in you as a unique individual and in your connection to the world on an emotional, physical and spiritual level and in how you may experience feelings energetically, in your body. Whatever you bring, we can explore it together and find ways to understand and make meaning from your experiences.

I'm trained to help you with a huge range of issues, from OCD to trauma, emotional regulation to relationship difficulties.
OK, first things first. I'm double qualified, as a CBT therapist (PgDip) and a psychotherapist (FdSc Couns), and I'm both registered and accredited at the BACP. I've over 15 years working experience! But that's not what is most important. What's really important is that I don't judge, and I just want to help you be you. I am personable, real and authentic, and I offer a space that is encouraging, kind, and understanding. And also, yes, challenging. I can help you open up to change, and try new things, including experimenting with relating differently and even trying new psychological exercises. Let's meet and see what happens!

I specialise in the following subjects: Anxiety, worry, overwhelm Depression, self-critical mind, loneliness Relationship problems Childhood negative experiences Workplace stress Trauma processing, CPTSD Concentration problems Anger management Loss and bereavement Dating Moving from reactivity to reflectiveness My life and work have taught me that people heal by moving from a reactive state to a reflective state.
I relate to you with respect, and attempt to work with you on a human-to-human level, rather than from the condescending perspective of an ‘expert’. Instead of viewing you as someone who needs to fundamentally change, I am interested in uncovering the wisdom, sanity and authentic being that you already possess.

Im also advancing my couples counselling Practice with The grove training and relate , as a trainee im offering a special rate of £55 in person and online £45 Where I will help you with your relationship
Hi, My name is Mandy and I have been told I am a down to earth warm hearted person. I mainly use the person-centred approach where the client is seen as the expert on themselves. This I understand can seem challenging as often people want an expert to guide them or tell them what to do particularly if you are feeling lost and confused and not sure how to feel better.

I work with both individuals and couples.
As a couple, it may be that a sudden event has caused a rift to open up between you both and this has compromised your ability to trust and communicate. Or perhaps there has been a growing distance and there is a desire for one or both of you to reconnect and become more intimate. Perhaps you want different things and it is hard to see a future together.

March 24 - I currently have availability for new individual clients and couples.
It’s likely that if you are here, you are moving through life with unhelpful patterns and unhealed wounds from the past. This will be affecting how you feel, react and relate to others. If you are ready to get into the weeds - to explore what's happening in your life in-depth, what might be out of your awareness, to find ways to change, then my warm, inquisitive and gently challenging approach might be right for you. People say that I am very open, down-to-earth and easy to talk to. Get in touch for a no-obligation conversation to see if we might be a good fit.

You are a capable adult, used to managing work and responsibilities, yet finding your or life direction or relationship unexpectedly difficult.
I work with individuals and couples to understand what is happening behind the behaviours: your emotional and relational needs. You will learn how to recognise patterns, clarify what matters and ability to convey it. You will develop a calmer way of responding rather than reacting or withdrawing. If this resonates with you, just get in touch !
