Divorce Counselling in Bristol

June 2022 - I am currently fully booked and not taking on any new clients until September 2022. Many of us have times in our lives when we feel the need for some extra support. Perhaps we are lacking confidence and self-esteem, going through relationship difficulties, feeling depressed, anxious, experiencing stressful life changes such as bereavement, divorce , or redundancy.

Counselling can be a great support in times of change, personal crisis and distress. I provide a safe, non judgmental environment for our work. I have 13+ years experience.

Your relationship matters! Are you struggling with relationship, marital or family issues? Are you or your partner wanting to improve or enhance your relationship?

Are you feeling hurt, disconnected, stuck, frustrated, angry, lonely, misunderstood, overwhelmed, sad or scared?

I will listen to your experiences and your point of view and together we can look at different perspectives which can help you to live more freely.

I am here to offer support while you are working through life’s challenges - support which is confidential, open-minded, non-judgemental and consistent.

Do you find self acceptance difficult? Is the way you feel about yourself influenced by echoes of voices which linger just out of awareness? ​ Does this make you shut down and hide parts of yourself which you think other people won't like or accept? ​ Talking with someone who is welcoming of all these aspects has helped me to accept these buried needs and wants. It helps the parts of me to make friends with each other and to walk together hand in hand. ​ I would like to offer this welcome to you.
