Depression Counselling in Bristol

I work from a Humanistic stance and integrate the following approaches: Person-centred Therapy, Transactional Analysis, Gestalt, Existential Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Polyvagal Theory, Mindfulness Meditation, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused Approach, Inner Child Healing, Creative Therapies and Compassionate Mind Training. Moreover, I work holistically thus exploring the mind-body connection; alongside helping clients to gain a better understanding of the automatic nervous system (ANS) and more importantly to learn how to regulate their nervous system.

There are times in life where we can all find ourselves in need of a place that's ours; a space that can hold our "stuff", however painful, confusing or difficult to face. It can be really hard to reach out for support sometimes, even when we know we might need it, but I'm here if you feel you'd benefit from a safe space to talk and explore what is troubling you.

Hi, I am a bilingual (English & Romanian) highly skilled Counselling therapist working with NHS and private practice. My clinical work is informed by a range of treatment models, including Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Motivational interviewing. I offer an integrative approach, adapting therapy according to each client's unique needs, which allows me to provide the best possible therapeutic experience for my clients

I can support you if you're experiencing challenges such as relational trauma, anxiety, depression, stress or bereavement, amongst others. Do you feel overwhelmed and unable to cope with life's day-to-day challenges? Or do you find relationships difficult? Maybe you are searching for a more meaningful life. I can help with these questions and more. I will facilitate the conditions for you to explore what matters to you, make positive changes and create a fulfilling life according to your values. I will be led by you in terms of the pace and topics we discuss and this can help you learn new ways to cope with day-to-day difficulties.

Are you navigating the unique challenges of pregnancy, childbirth, or early motherhood? With years of experience & training, I understand the complexities of perinatal mental health & trauma. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, birth trauma, or the multitude of emotions that accompany this period, I have the knowledge & skills to support you effectively. Anxiety & depression are common during pregnancy & postpartum. Together, we'll explore coping strategies, develop skills to manage symptoms, & foster a sense of hope & empowerment. I've worked with a variety of trauma presentations using EMDR Therapy.

I work with a wide range of issues, including but not limited to anxiety, depression, insomnia, OCD, addictions, PTSD, phobias and issues around self-esteem. I invite clients to shape and set goals (these are often added to!) and we work together to reach them. Sometimes problems have gone on for years; sometimes they are new and acute. In both cases they can be resolved: clients move towards a life that is fulfilling, meaningful and happy. In the past year I have helped children, young people and adults, whose ages range from 10 to 85 years. Every session, from the very first, focuses on gaining understanding and making progress.

Sometimes life can feel difficult and overwhelming, or you might feel that you need to make changes in your life and you are finding it difficult to deal with these things by yourself. Therapy gives you a space to talk about your experiences with someone who is impartial and has no judgements about you or your life. I offer you a calm space in which to do this and will welcome you with warmth and understanding. I work with a range of issues including anxiety, self-esteem and depression and provide short and long term therapy either online or over the phone.

Hello, thank you for looking at my profile. I am a BACP Accredited therapist working face to face in Plymouth but also online. I work in an integrative way with my clients so I draw on a number of different counselling theories. My main training is in Person Centred Counselling which means that your needs will be at the core of how we work. My approach is gentle, compassionate and trauma informed. I can help with many mental health problems including anxiety, depression, bereavement, trauma, relationship difficulties or work stress.

I've been conducting therapies with adults and adolescents both Turkish and English. I mostly use CBT and Mindfulness to help my clients. I work on anxiety, depression, anger management, social anxiety, health anxiety, relationship problems as well as other mental health problems. When necessary, I use Solution Focused Therapy techniques which help patients to see their strong sides to achieve the desired goals and some Art Therapy techniques so that my clients can open up easier and see the things they are not aware of.

Emotional well being is something we can often take for granted, and more often than not we do not take time to attend to our emotional well being until we begin to struggle to maintain a balance. You may just need some space to reflect safely and without judgement. Perhaps you are overwhelmed by the pressures of life, stuck in a rut, repeating negative patterns, or trying to find a way out of anxiety or depression. Maybe you just don’t feel able to share your worries and concerns with those around you? Maybe you just don’t feel like ‘you’ and would like to explore why, or you have feelings of worthlessness and hopelessness.

Choosing a therapist can be daunting, especially when you may be feeling depressed, confused, anxious, or at a low point. Maybe you're thinking how can anyone understand? If you’ve had no experience working with a counsellor, or previous counseling wasn't what you expected or were ready to continue, I understand this can be difficult.

I am committed to forming a trusting therapeutic relationship, that allows you to feel comfortable and safe in sharing & exploring what has brought you to counselling. This lays a solid foundation for working alongside you at your pace and offering a range of approaches that respect and respond to your needs. I work within a pluralistic framework, where I draw on a range of evidence-based approaches that accommodate your preferences and help work through your difficulties.

Hi there, my name is Lina. I am a psychodynamic counsellor, which means I usually look at how past experiences, conflicts, or trauma impact on your current distress. First and foremost, I put the client counsellor relationship at heart, offering a non-judgemental, safe space. In our sessions, we might explore family dynamics, relationships or self-esteem, but my approach is client led where you can bring whatever you need.

Are you someone navigating personal challenges and relationship problems, or just struggling with your mental health in general?
