Counselling in Bristol

My name is Craig Davies and I am a fully qualified and experienced Psychotherapist available for short and longer-term treatment. I hold full UKCP registration. If you are experiencing emotional difficulties, problems in relationships or patterns in your life that you want to change, psychotherapy can be an effective way of addressing these issues from within. I offer a comfortable and confidential space in which to explore your feelings. I work in accordance with the code of ethics of UKCP.

Are you suffering with anxiety, panic, depression, stress? Having relationship problems? Struggling with low confidence or self-esteem? Are you angry, irritable, short-tempered, or generally unhappy? Is your mind full of negativity that just doesn't go away? Confused, lost, overwhelmed, unable to concentrate or make decisions? Perhaps you could benefit from professional help. Asking for help is sometimes hard to do - perhaps you see this as a sign of weakness or failure. Sometimes we can't solve everything on our own. It's OK to ask for help. Admitting you have a problem is a sign of strength.

I specialise in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) for depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Depression is characterised by low mood and a loss of interest in daily activities. PTSD occurs after a significantly distressing event or events, such as a near death experience or sexual violence. It is identified by avoidance of trauma reminders, flashbacks or nightmares and feeling physically alert (ie. startling easily, irritability, difficulties concentrating).

Life can be really challenging and there are times when we can all feel overwhelmed. I offer a confidential, non-judgmental and compassionate space to explore the challenges you are facing. I am trained as an integrative therapist, which means I draw from a range of counselling approaches including Psychodynamic, Person-centred, Gestalt and Internal Family Systems. As each person is unique, I aim to listen and develop a way of working together that fits with your individual needs.

I understand that life can seem difficult at times and it can be hard to put into words what is troubling you. When we feel sad, low or anxious, reaching out for help can seem a daunting prospect. Whether you find yourself feeling overwhelmed and at a crossroads in life or you just want to understand yourself better, I can support you. I work with adults on an individual basis in Clifton, Bristol. Alongside my private practice, I am currently working with a wide variety of clients within a GP surgery.

As a humanistic therapist I believe that we are able to live fulfilled lives, where we can connect with the full spectrum of feelings, understand our thoughts and behaviours, and have healthy relationships. Experiences that have happened to us, or sometimes to our parents, society or culture as a whole, can disrupt our ability to feel, think, be and relate. Talking about problems that we know we have or allowing space for them to emerge is one way of being able to feel alive again, finding the flow of your life rather than crashing about in our own storm or get dragged into others.

I am a warm and creative BACP accredited psychotherapist who offers 1:1 therapy to adults in distress or who are actively seeking change. I have experience of working with a wide range of presenting problems from relationship difficulties, health-related issues and loss to anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD and borderline personality disorder, as well as neurodiversity in all its forms. Careful listening within a warm, supportive, respectful relationship can help us feel safe enough to reflect. I think that reflection can help us heal.

Hello and welcome, I'm Remona. It can be really hard choosing a Therapist when life feels so very difficult already, hopefully I can help you make up your mind. Are you feeling helpless, hopeless and disconnected from life?  Lonely, depressed or struggling with your relationships? Perhaps you’re experiencing anxiety, stress or PTSD symptoms that impact you on a daily basis. Maybe you’re just feeling stuck in a rut and not sure where to go. Life can often feel messy, but no matter how big or how small your problem feels, we can work together to help you reach a more stable place.

Thank you for coming onto my profile and taking time to read my information. Initially I will help you identify whether a systemic/relational approach is the right one for you. I am informed by my training in Systemic and Family Psychotherapy, I draw on many approaches within the psychotherapuetic field, and will meet you with kindness and compassion to enable us to work together towards a change within either yourself, your relationship or your family.

I believe in the power of opening up, and while I will draw on theory and knowledge to support each individual client, I am led by the client and their individual needs. An ideal client is someone who wishes to build a therapeutic space alongside me, allowing me to facilitate safety and build trust. I am interested in helping others to develop personal growth and insight through the relational dynamics they experience.

My name is Jenny and I am an integrative counsellor. I primarily work using the humanistic approach but being integrative means that I have studied the other approaches to counselling which include psycho-dynamic and CBT. I am an approachable, compassionate therapist and I aim to offer my clients a safe space to be able to talk without fear of judgement. I have done significant training in trauma and have a certification in complex trauma. I also do critical incident debriefing work and I am a supervisor in training.

I offer a trauma informed, person centred approach for those clients experiencing distress, anxiety or depression. Some are working through life crises, coming to terms with loss, have suffered abuse / emotional abuse, or are going through separation and divorce, difficulties with relationship or family issues. I am also able to offer assistance with issues of trauma, low self esteem, low self confidence, anger management, grief and loss, feeling sad, spirituality, obsessive compulsive disorders, anxiety, panic and seasonal affective disorder. It's about enabling everyone to fulfil their potential.

Are you going through a challenging period that is affecting daily life? Are you struggling with issues of anxiety, anxiety disorders, depression, anger separation, loss, grief, trauma, low self esteem/confidence? I can work with you to discover new ways of responding to these different blocks and dilemmas in life. Therapy being offered is person to person & online.

I’m an experienced psychotherapist in training offering affordable therapy for adults in Bristol. Whatever is going on in your life, my hope is to offer an open minded space of warmth, safety and compassion, where anything that is on your mind at the time can be explored together at your own pace. Each person is on their unique journey through life and as an integrative therapist my approach is based on your individual needs as a client.

I am a Humanistic, trauma informed counsellor and member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. I understand there are times when life can feel overwhelming and daily life can become more of a struggle. This can often feel isolating and confusing, but it is important to know that you don’t have to go through it alone. My aim is to provide a warm, welcoming and supportive environment in which you feel able to explore your feelings and emotions without fear of judgement. I am able to help with many of life's challenges and have specialist experience of working with survivors of sexual abuse and sexual violence.

(Unfortunately I don't currently have availability.) My name is Charlotte, I can offer you a warm and supportive space to tackle those issues that you feel unable to explore anywhere else. If you find that unhelpful patterns are negatively affecting your life, I can help you by recognising them, and replace negative coping strategies with positive ones. We can nurture your innate resourcefulness and resilience - work towards becoming the person you want to be and finding your own solutions. We can also use the sessions to pause and take time out of your week to just Be, explore who you are and foster a stronger sense of Self.

You May be feeling that life is too much, it may feel overwhelming. You may be struggling with your personal relationships, or even struggling with your relationship with food and turn to food to cope with difficult feelings. Do you find work hard? do you want to feel like you have purpose in life? You may be struggling with a loss be it a loved one, a job , a pet or a home. Sometimes during these times it can be helpful to speak to a counsellor.

Are you feeling overwhelmed or confused by your feelings? Do you have things happening you would like to talk through? Do you have unresolved history you feel ready to look at and would like someone to support you in that? Counselling can help you to work through all of these things and help restore a balance to your feelings and life again. I have worked in depth with trauma, attachment issues, parenting difficulties, relationship problems, anxiety, depression, OCD and panic among many other things. I work as an integrative humanistic counsellor, which means I have been trained in a number of different ways of working. ​

Let me tell you a bit about me... Finding a therapist that can actually relate to you is hard, can feel exhausting at times. I know because it took me a while to find an effective therapist that understands what it's like to struggle. I hope I can be that person for you. I have an intuitive, friendly approach and will work hard to empower you to make the changes you have been looking for. I work from a person centred stance as I believe the key to lasting therapy is forming strong trusting relationships, helping you to understand yourself better.
