Self Esteem Counselling in Bristol
Welcome! I have 14 years’ experience helping people with stress, anxiety, low mood, and self-esteem. My style of counselling is highly collaborative, compassionate and engaged. As a person I am down-to-earth, sensitive and good humoured. I take a positive view of symptoms, that they are often the result of coping strategies we developed in order to get through life. At some point these strategies outlive their usefulness and become part of the problem. In addition, much of our distress comes from suppressing and judging our natural thoughts and feelings.

I work with a range of clients through a person-centred lens, so there is no one size fits all therapy. I work imaginatively with you building a therapy that works for you and your circumstances. I have experience working with addictive behaviours and thought patterns, depression, anxiety, self esteem, big life changes/transitions/stages of life issues and bereavement/loss. I offer a free 30 minute session where we can discuss your needs/preferences and decide if we want to work together.

I have worked for many years helping my clients to accept themselves for who they are and how they survive in the hidden world that goes on inside their heads, the world where fear holds them back and keeps them stuck. The world we are all familiar with, the place we go when we put our heads on our pillows at night and we know! I believe that through honest exploration, reflection and acceptance of our past, we can start to accept ourselves and begin to build our self-esteem, self respect, our confidence and compassion for ourselves. We can embrace the parts of us that work and let go of the parts that don't, we can change.

What happened in your childhood? How does it affect you now? I work with adults to overcome childhood/teenage adversities to find their confidence and build self-esteem. You might be feeling anxious, depressed or overwhelmed. It could be feeling unworthy of another person's love, feelings of shame or of being punished for some trust or over trusting other people. Each day can become an internal battle as you feel doubt yourself, maybe loath yourself, just can't get organised and decision leave you exhausted. If this resonates with you, email me or check out my website to book a free 15-minute phone call/zoom chat.

I am a qualified integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor and a member of the National Counselling Society. I use an integrative approach drawing on such therapeutic models as Person Centred, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic, Transactional Analysis (TA) and Gestalt. I believe there is no single approach that works for every client in all situations. Integrative counselling provides a unique, flexible and personalised approach that is suited to the individual needs of the client. I offer a safe, calm, non-judgemental and confidential space for you to explore what has brought you to counselling at your own pace.

Coming to a point where you’re seeking counselling can feel like a huge and often unimagined step. Perhaps you have never experienced feeling how you do now or perhaps you are managing long term anxiety or depression. Relationships strain, work pressures, societal pressures can all weigh down on our self esteem and we can find ourselves without motivation, confused and feeling bad most days.

We all have times in life when things seem to get on top of us. We may feel confused, anxious or depressed. Sometimes it feels like we are just going round in circles, getting nowhere in particular. Having someone to talk to can lighten the load and this is often easier with someone other than family or friends.
