Counselling in Bristol

I offer therapy and supervision and have a particular interest in trauma and how it impacts our nervous system: CPTSD, PTSD, and DID; dissociation, hearing voices, addictive behaviours and coping mechanisms and links to childhood trauma. 'ACE's' (Adverse Childhood Experiences), and how these affect us as adults. Trauma comes in many forms; overt ones such as physical or sexual abuse, car accidents, war, disasters etc, and less obvious or covert forms like emotional abuse or neglect, bullying, or just 'not getting what we need' on an emotional level. I'm a member of UKCP, BCPC, and ISST-D and have specialist trauma training.

I specialise in working with trauma and the impacts of trauma. Whether you have a diagnosis of (c)PTSD or you're working through traumatic memories, I can help you rebuild your life and reclaim your identity. The impacts of trauma can vary widely and you may experience difficulties with anxiety/depression, relationships, at work, in friendships, in your health, your quality of sleep, and general day-to-day life. You're not alone and we can work through this together. Visit my website to find out more: www.therapy-with-jessica.com. I offer sessions online or from the idyllic Sycamore House in Kingswood, Bristol.

I am a clinical psychologist with substantial experience of working with individuals with personality difficulties (with or without a formal diagnosis of personality disorder), PTSD, and complex trauma. Other areas of clinical expertise include anxiety, burnout, low self-esteem, dissociation and low mood. In therapy I aim to bring compassion to the ways people have learned to cope with adversity and emotional pain. I welcome anyone who is looking to understand themselves and their coping styles better, and/or is seeking ways to break cycles and gain new skills to help them move forwards in their lives.

Hello & welcome to my psychotherapy practice. I mainly work with clients experiencing depression, anxiety issues and trauma/ PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). I have been working in private practice since 2009 but also have experience of working as a psychotherapist for the NHS for 10 years. I’m here to help you work through things. If you are struggling with stress, anxiety, worry, depression, past trauma and want to have a better quality of life, there are ways to achieve that. My aim is to help you with the symptoms you are experiencing, so you can function better, and feel calmer and happier.

I am an integrative therapist specialising in using eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy to treat a wide range of psychological issues. I am highly trained in psychotherapy, neuroscience and trauma and believe that our current issues can often be traced back to early adverse experiences in childhood. Compared to standard talking therapy EMDR generally takes a shorter amount of time to get to the root cause of the issue. Rather than just dealing with symptom management (like CBT), EMDR therapy works directly with the cause of your distress.

Trauma focussed therapy for those with PTSD or life affecting issues. Delivered within a caring and warm professional relationship, supporting you to explore and resolve past events and situations in order to move forwards with your life. Suitable for anyone looking to engage and work on their issues, benefitting from the combined effort and professional guidance.
