Female Counselling in Bristol, ENG

Hi, I'm Sandra. I help women with chronic anxiety to feel better quickly. Anxiety can suck the colour from your life, leaving you feeling empty, fearful and trapped. You might also be feeling lonely and unfulfilled, unable to see a way forward. But what if there was a way? A way that helps you move toward a more positive and hopeful future? Hypnotherapy can change stubborn and unhelpful beliefs such as believing you aren't good enough, not confident enough or not deserving enough. Imagine how different your life would be if you DID believe you were enough, and that you could cope with anything at all? Don't wait....

I have worked as a counsellor for many years and am both passionate and motivated as I was in the beginning. I am particularly passionate about working people who have low self-esteem as I believe this covers so many areas/issues in life. As a woman in my 50’s with various life experience this allows me to empathise and have compasion for others. Having come from a multi-cultural family with Irish roots this gives me a greater understanding of cultural diversity and a sense of belonging. I am a spiritual person who has an interest in mindfulness and Yoga.

Thank you for coming onto my profile reading my information. Finding the right therapist is a really important part of the process.

Hi I'm Melissa. If you experience PTSD, Childhood Trauma, Sexual Abuse/Assault, Anxiety, Depression or Low self esteem, I hope to help you to process the trauma, learn to build and maintain relationships with yourself and others, revive a positive view of yourself and to provide a space for you to talk and feel heard.

Motherhood can be profoundly intense and triggering.You deserve to thrive,not just survive day to day, pouring your energy into other people.My clients have often overcome stressful life events or difficult childhoods and find that 'old stuff' bothers them again because of the stresses and triggers of motherhood.Becoming a mother involves a breaking down of your old life and building a new one. It is a creative process that includes mourning for lost parts and usually some confusion and uncertainty. The transition is enormous and different for each woman .

I work with people who have suffered a bereavement, a loss of some type, or individuals who may want to work on a something specific, such as low self esteem, relational difficulties or wanting to explore their own process in a safe way, this list isn't exhaustive. Clients are welcome to explore experiences that arise for them, as they happen and for this to be accepted, using a relational and relatable approach- in more long term work. I also work with anxiety disorders, depression or low mood, OCD, specific phobia's and binge eating disorder, in a more solution focussed way, using shorter term interventions.

I am an experienced psychotherapist and counsellor. I offer Single-Session, Short-Term and Long-Term Therapy. I have experience working with a wide range of problems such as Depression, Anxiety, Low Self-Esteem, Sadness, Loss, Stuck, Relationship Issues, BPD, OCD, Anger, Feeling Lost, Domestic Violence, Trauma, Sexual Violence & Abuse etc. I have a particular interest in working with those who are lacking motivation or direction in their personal life and or career. Maybe you have a big decision to make in your life and wish to explore this in a safe confidential space.

You are probably feeling very upset, alone and confused, maybe even ashamed and wondering if counselling could help? Everyone who comes to therapy has a unique set of issues but the underlying need to share the distress and be understood, is true for everyone. If you are struggling with parenting, postnatal depression, miscarriage or your identity as a woman you are not alone. I have lots of experience working with women (and men) who are struggling with family life and want to feel better than they currently do. I also help young people with identity and self esteem issues, self harm, anxiety and sad feelings

We all have times in life when we struggle, feel lost, stressed, stuck or overwhelmed, and need some support. As an experienced and compassionate, HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist, I work with people make sense of the difficulties they are facing, and to find some ways forward. I can support people experiencing a range of psychological difficulties, specialising particularly in work with people affected by eating disorders/difficulties, anxiety problems and OCD, or high self-criticism. I work with people of all ages, and I am very experienced in work with children, adolescents and families as well as adults.

I am a Bristol based Psychotherapist (HG.Dip.P Trainee) and CBT Practitioner. I am also an accredited ADHD Coach and I facilitate weekly Women 's Circles focusing on building self-love and self-esteem.

I work primarily with young adults (18-25yrs), adolescents and children who need a safe and confidential space to explore and communicate their inner world in the context of a warm, sensitive and compassionate atmosphere. Through Play Therapy, I hold a space for a child's deep emotions, thoughts and perceptions to find expression and resolve - puppetry, sand play, drawing and a variety of other mediums are offered. I hold a safe and encouraging space for young adults, older children and adolescents to speak more directly and openly about their feelings & experiences, both past and present.

I provide a calm, reassuring, non-judgemental space for you to explore your life and current concerns. You may be struggling with life events, mood patterns or health issues, or simply wanting to learn more about yourself. Therapy offers you place for you to bring whatever you are seeking to change or understand. Together we will resource you to adapt to physical and emotional shifts, increase your awareness of your needs, and to be more present and happy in your life. We will work together to find ease with, or solutions to, your challenges and enable you to thrive.

Are you experiencing intrusive thoughts or distressing memories? We could use EMDR or CBT to process these. I am an experienced and down to earth Clinical Psychologist based in Bristol, offering integrative psychological therapy, consultation and supervision. I can support you if you are struggling to process a trauma, or would like a space to think about how you adjust to a loss or change, issues around role, identity, or difficulties balancing health, work and personal life. I have experience of helping people make sense of major life transitions such as becoming a parent or the death of a loved one.

We don’t seem to question cleaning and dressing a wound or resting a broken limb to give it the best conditions to heal quickly. With emotional pain a very similar approach is true: when certain conditions are met healing can begin. Our emotional wounds and traumas created by our past experiences can disconnect us from ourselves. By sharing our story in a safe environment we can gradually start to have more compassion and understanding for all parts of ourselves, which brings about a natural healing process. My hope for my clients is not to just suffer less but to thrive and to be able to live more fully.

Psychology and Sports have always intrigued me. I specialized in Sports and Exercise Psychology in 2016. I have competed as an international Judo athlete for India and won many national medals. I am experienced in supporting athletes individually and working with teams to improve their psychological skills as a unit. I have worked with young athletes who are breaking into the National level and also worked with professional and GB athletes. My clients range from 11yrs old to 55 years old in sports such as Golf, Tennis, Table tennis, Basketball, Football, Equestrian, Rowing, and many more sports.

We live in a culture that promotes the idea of strong, powerful individuals who live picture perfect lives. There is little room for showing our vulnerability, or our need for connection. There is a cultural expectation that when things are difficult for us we should just 'get over it' and not make a fuss, this might manifest in you with thoughts of "what's wrong with me", "why is this so hard" and "I should be able to manage by myself" and so on! You may be feeling fragmented, ​disconnected, numb, overwhelmed, fearful, unable to cope, you might feel like giving up.

I work with a whole spectrum of needs and goals and find that therapy is all about the trust in the therapeutic relationship, once trust is built, the therapy really begins and the desired change can come. I follow your pace and respond to your needs as they arise.
