Self Esteem Counselling in Bristol
I work with adults feeling anxious, stuck in self-doubt, or struggling with low self-esteem, perfectionism, shame, and a harsh inner critic.
Every part of you is welcome here: the part that wants to stay in control, the one that feels small or unseen, the part longing for closeness, and the part that’s scared of it. The parts that want to disappear, and the parts that want to take up more space.
This is a space to meet yourself more fully.

I have been practicing for 20 years in total; I work with a wide range of issues such as addictions, anxiety, relationships, grief,complex trauma, abuse, self-esteem and many more.
Maybe a little voice inside has been telling you for a while that things are not ok...the word " therapy" keeps popping up....acknowledging it takes courage and wisdom. It might be a current crisis or on-going emotional difficulties stopping you from enjoying life. Therapy can be a unique experience which can be transformative, and in which yo can safely access the true essence of yourself. It is a meaningful journey on many levels. Many of life's challenges which are seen as "normal "by society actually involve trauma. These wounds left unattended to can lead to many issues such as anxiety, shame, anger, depression, addiction.

I offer compassionate, trauma-informed support for personal growth and healing. I'll support you to not only recognise the ways in which trauma is impacting the ways you relate to yourself and others, but also to uncover new strengths and opportunities for personal growth beyond the challenges you've have faced.
I have often found that understanding people's diagnoses and symptoms as responses to what they have lived through is valuable in helping them shed the self-blame they might carry. Often, people find themselves stuck in cycles of behaviour that no longer serve them, yet feel at a loss for how to make meaningful change.

I work with individuals who feel disconnected from their authentic selves - perhaps you're feeling stuck, lacking direction, or missing purpose in your life. You might be struggling with past experiences that still affect you today, finding it hard to stay motivated, or feeling uncertain about your future path. Many of my clients initially believe they are the problem, carrying the weight of their struggles internally. If you recognise yourself in these words, know that you're not alone, and that what you're experiencing deserves to be heard and understood.

I’m Nova, an online CBT therapist with lived experience of OCD recovery, providing virtual CBT with ERP and ACT sessions, supporting you, wherever and whoever you are.
I know how exhausting it can feel when your thoughts keep looping, driving you to check, seek reassurance, or avoid situations in the hope of easing fear, guilt, or doubt. OCD often targets what matters most to you. Having been through this myself, I understand how real and overwhelming it can seem. In therapy, I provide a safe and collaborative space, built on empathy and understanding.

Many of us carry deep wounds from our childhoods and early lives, often without being completely conscious of it. Still raw, or thickly scarred, these traumas can manifest in our adult lives, through sensitivity to hurt, inflexibility or unhelpful, self defeating behaviours. In time these unhealed wounds can wreak havoc in our lives and relationships. When this day comes we are left with two choices, either carry on as best we can, condemned to repeat the hurts of the past, or learn to give ourselves the care and love we have always deserved. Counselling offers an opportunity to begin a new life of healing and growth.

Counselling and Psychotherapy can help with a range of difficulties for example feelings of anxiety and depression, feelings of stuckness, helplessness and low self esteem, unhelpful patterns you notice you're repeating, a sense of lostness in your life.
I have a particular interest in working with complex PTSD/relational trauma. Symptoms may include hidden feelings of anxiety/dread, phobias & even fear of panic attacks in certain situations, whilst being successful in many domains of life. Avoidance of certain social situations that may seem perfectly safe to others create feelings of loneliness & despair.

Does the past still feel present? Whether you’re struggling with old wounds or seeking specialized help for your child, you don’t have to carry the distress alone. As a Medical Doctor and therapist with 20 years of experience, I bridge the gap between clinical expertise and compassionate, informal care.
I am an EMDR Europe Accredited Consultant and IFS therapist. I specialize in helping children, caregivers , and adults process trauma effectively. My approach is "purposefully informal"—meaning I prioritize a friendly, safe connection while using powerful tools to help and set goals you set for healing and wellbeing.

With over a decade of experience working with adults and teens, I focus on trauma, self-worth, and healing the invisible wounds that shape our lives.
My ideal client is the "adult good child" archetype: an individual who appears successful externally but feels internally exhausted from a lifetime of people-pleasing.
Problem: They are paralysed by guilt when attempting to set boundaries, especially in difficult family dynamics. They struggle to say "no" and feel overly responsible for others' emotions.
Need: They seek validation for their feelings and practical tools to build healthy self-interest and manage manipulation.
Goal: To make decisions based on their own authentic values without being controlled by the fear of judgment or disappointing others.
