You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, low, or simply not yourself. Perhaps you’re carrying the weight of trauma, loss or change. Are you struggling to make sense of what’s happened, feeling stuck, or finding it hard to cope? Do you long to feel calmer, safer in your body, and more connected to yourself again? If any of this resonates, please know you’re not alone. At times, life can feel heavy and confusing. In these moments, having a dedicated space to pause, reflect, and gently explore what’s going on for you can be a powerful part of healing.

Single session therapy is £80 online or £100 in person.
You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or caught in patterns you can’t seem to change. Perhaps you’re recovering from trauma, navigating the impact of narcissistic abuse, or struggling with difficult or confusing relationships. You might be questioning your sense of self, your boundaries, or why certain dynamics keep repeating. You want clarity, relief, and a way forward—and a therapist who understands the deeper roots of these experiences.

You might already understand your patterns, but still feel stuck in them — overthinking after conversations, feeling “too much” or not enough, or holding everything together while feeling disconnected underneath. Maybe you’ve tried talking therapies like CBT, but the same emotional loops keep returning. Often this is because the patterns aren’t just in thoughts — they’re held deeper, in the nervous system. I specialise in anxiety, trauma, and relationship patterns, using EMDR alongside parts-work (IFS), somatic and mindfulness-based approaches.

I offer sessions in person in BS5 from my cosy garden office.
If you’re feeling stuck in anxiety, self-criticism, emotional overwhelm or repeating patterns, I offer a warm, trauma-informed therapy to help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface and create lasting change. Some people know exactly what they want help with; others need support to understand their difficulty. Either way, we work together at your pace to explore how past experiences shape present responses.

I will be offering in-person therapy from 1st October 2025
Hello, I’m Bryony, I specialise in CBT, BABCP accredited. I specialise in helping people overcome trauma, PTSD, OCD, low self-esteem, anxiety, anger, stress, low motivation, low mood, inner self-critics, neurodiversity and intrusive/obsessive thoughts. CBT is based on the theory that our thoughts, emotions, physical/bodily sensations, and behaviours all feed into one another and can keep us trapped in negative cycles, struggling to find a way out. To support you with this, I will also draw upon Compassion Focused, Mindfulness and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy techniques.

People come to psychotherapy for all kinds of different reasons. Perhaps a particular issue is making life very difficult, or maybe you have more general feelings of discontentment, unease or unhappiness that you want to address. One-to-one psychotherapy can help by providing a safe, therapeutic space in which you feel able to explore and express difficult thoughts, feelings and memories. This process of deep exploration helps you to grow and develop in areas that have previously felt stuck, painful or difficult to resolve.

My practice is open for Face to Face sessions.
Are you feeling so overwhelmed that you feel out of your depth? Or experiencing a sense of loss, unable to cope? Fear is our worst enemy, and we will try and find a way of taking back control. If you feel you are struggling there is a strength in reaching out for support. Counselling helps you to gain a better understanding of self through the therapeutic process, and I believe we are all unique and have the potential to change, therefore develop a belief in your ability to cope. You will begin to make sense of the past and begin to recognise your true self.

I am currently accepting new clients for in person EMDR work in Clifton on Thursdays, or on line work on other days.
Accredited, experienced, integrative and EMDR therapist with several years of working with a variety of issues including addiction, abuse, trauma, anxiety, and identity. You might want to focus on behaviour change, or exploration of the past and old stuck beliefs to try to make sense of what is happening in your life now. Sometimes, people just need a space to talk, and to be heard. EMDR is a powerful and well-evidenced way to work with past trauma, finally freeing ourselves from what is no longer helpful. This can be done alongside time spent reflecting on the past or on current troubling situations and behaviours.
