Counselling in Bristol
I’m an Integrative Therapist who offers counselling for Adults and Children (aged 9 years +) teenagers and young people in Bristol and South Gloucestershire areas with face-to-face or online sessions available. I understand how unsettling starting counselling can feel, but also a chance to unburden, move on and flourish. A place to experience care, compassion and connection where you’ll be able to explore your thoughts, feelings and concerns without judgment, criticism or consequence. A private space just for you to gain clarity or explore changes for the future.

Navigating life can sometimes be challenging, invoking painful emotions and ways of coping and adapting, which may cause further pain. You may be experiencing difficult emotions, poor mental or physical health and/or been affected by significant life events, which are impacting your day-to-day life and your connection to yourself and others. You may be looking for a safe place to process your past and present experiences and feelings, without fear of judgement.

I'm a UKCP registered psychotherapist in training. My training incorporates mindfulness and has a psychodynamic approach that places the relationship between therapist and client at the heart of transformative change and healing. I seek to create a safe, empathic and non-judgemental space for you to explore whatever difficulties you are currently working with. I aim to connect and work with you to help you understand your present moment experience, and what may be underlying any distress or suffering in your life. This understanding can help identify where you feel stuck and what you may need to heal and thrive.

I offer one-to-one counselling for adult (over 18 years) clients who are going through difficult circumstances & feel ready to make a change in their life. I'll work with you to develop understanding of your behaviours, which I believe is important if we want to make progress. I prefer not to focus my work on specialisms, though I have a particular interest in clients struggling with their identity, relationships and anxiety.

This world is a fast-moving, pressured and sometimes, bewildering place. We are expected to navigate it while carrying the heavy weight of the opinions and expectations of others. No wonder that we can become overwhelmed, worried and sad. I can’t (sadly) change the world or your experiences in it, but together, we might be able to find a way for you to move forward, feeling more in control, more confident and hopefully, happier.

Counselling can help with experiences of anxiety and stress, childhood issues, low self esteem, abuse, trauma, existential difficulties, depression, grief and loss, increasing confidence or any issue where a person needs understanding and support to explore their situation in a non-judgmental space. Therapy can help with personal development and is a way of expanding on and understanding ourselves. I work from an integrative approach and draw influence from a range of therapeutic backgrounds to suit the individual and their situation.

I work with couples that have heard about the benefits EFT - Emotionally Focussed Couples Therapy. It's an effective approach to help couples reconnect and understand the repetative communication patterns t. It's more that 'just talking' . It helps you communicate clearly and connect on a heart level so you can say to each other what matters. I manage each session, listen to you so both feel understood and guide you through the process of understanding your feelings and patterns so you can reconnect together and feel emotionally secure in your relationship.

I’m a HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist offering psychological therapy to adults in Bristol and online. I believe that whatever the problems are you are facing, it is possible to make sense of them; to understand why they came to exist, and what has kept them in place or perhaps 'stuck' so far. From this place of greater understanding; healing, personal growth, and new ideas can emerge. I am trained to Doctoral Degree level in several evidence-based psychological therapies, all of which aim to support and empower people to overcome a wide-range of difficulties, and bring about meaningful and lasting changes to their lives.

People come to counselling for all sorts of reasons. Whatever is going on for you, I offer a safe and non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions and the challenges you are going through. I have experience working with anxiety, anger, self-esteem, relationships, abuse, trauma, guilt and shame. Specialising in work with LGBTQ+ clients, I have worked with a wide range of issues around gender and sexual relationship diversity. Whilst these may or may not be the focus of our work together, I provide a space where clients can consider how these aspects of identity affect their wider lives.

Therapy is a lasting form of self-care; deepening our understanding of who we are and how we relate to others, which brings more choice. Compassionate self-awareness and understanding builds a more solid foundation from which to grow and move through the world in a way that’s most us, whether life is going great, or bringing challenges. Working integratively means I draw from several styles of working, so we can bring the elements of psychotherapy that feel most useful to you.

I'm a clinical psychologist with over 10 years' experience in a range of NHS mental health services. I currently offer a small amount of private practice alongside my NHS role. I'm based in Bristol, but currently offering online appointments. I work with adults with a broad range of difficulties.

My core aim as a counsellor is to provide a warm and consistent space for you to feel heard and understood. We have many parts within us that need a listening ear, and open heart. When we find acceptance and compassion for ourselves, things can start to change in our lives. I offer kindness, non-judgement, and curiosity so that you can begin to feel resilient and self-loving. Each of us is born with inherent wisdom and we are our own best expert. But you may have lost trust along the way. I strive to offer you a nurturing, therapeutic relationship that encourages a sense of safety to trust.

People attend counselling for all sorts of reasons. For some of us it helps to have someone outside of friends and family to share our thoughts with and reflect on the challenges we face. Counselling can also be a refuge when crisis hits and we need help to understand and process our experiences. Whatever it is that brings you here, I welcome you and offer you space to think and to connect. My approach is warm and grounded. I work integratively, meaning that I draw on a range of counselling approaches and work with you to agree aims and a pace that is supportive.
