As a somatic-based relational therapist, I specialise in integrating body-focused, cognitive and relational approaches to guide individuals on their path to greater well-being. I support individuals work through a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment wounds, relationship difficulties, grief, shame, and boundary-setting. By gently connecting with the body and mind, we can uncover meaningful insights, foster lasting change and a sense of embodied belonging.

I’m Gabi, a counsellor based in Bristol and working online. I work relationally, meaning we build a warm, honest therapeutic relationship where you can feel safe to be yourself and explore what’s really going on for you.
Many of us carry grief, shame, or self-doubt built up over time, often shaped by family, relationships, society, or culture. Through therapy, we can gently untangle what is truly yours, making space for your authentic voice to emerge.

Offering flexible, tailored therapy to individuals and couples wanting to step out of unhelpful cycles, and into intentional, empowered living. I use a holistic evidenced-based framework for PTSD, Complex-PTSD, and traumatic experiences, providing interventions for emotion regulation, managing disordered mood, and processing trauma.

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.

Hi, I’m El (she/they). I’m a mixed-race, queer, neurodivergent trainee psychotherapist. I bring creativity, warm challenge and a bit of humour to help you feel safe enough to explore what matters. My approach is relational, somatic, trauma-informed and grounded in an anti-oppressive approach.

I work with children, young people (5-25), parents and families, not with adults as individuals. I aim to help clients to understand themselves more and untangle knots in their feelings, thoughts or relationships. Therapy can make life feel freer. Sometimes children need someone outside the family / school to talk to.
The way I work varies according to individual needs. I usually start by meeting parents to talk about what might suit their situation and gather background information.
For children, I offer sand play, animals and dolls, arts and crafts to play with and I'll follow what they choose to do.

Single consultations, short-term and longer work are all available.

I am an HCPC and BAAT registered Art Psychotherapist with extensive experience working with children, young people and adults.

I’m a consultant clinical psychologist with 30 years’ experience in frontline mental health services. I've created, developed and run a leading NHS service from scratch, and until recently I was a national specialty adviser to NHS England – the most senior clinical role in my field. I also have a small private practice, with a limited amount of slots available, open to people - often in midlife - who are feeling stuck in their work or relationships, and who want to change their lives for the better.

For most of my adult life, I have supported individuals who society often considers vulnerable due to complex needs and past trauma. My work has spanned residential care, rehabilitation settings, and women’s centres, giving me deep insight into how trauma shapes lives when coping mechanisms are limited. I have experience working with people affected by substance misuse, involvement in the criminal justice system, abusive relationships, and mental health challenges.
