We all have times in life when things seem to get on top of us. We may feel confused, anxious or depressed. Sometimes it feels like we are just going round in circles, getting nowhere in particular. Having someone to talk to can lighten the load and this is often easier with someone other than family or friends.

Hello, thank you for finding more out about my practice. Seeking support may not be easy, but you can be assured whatever situation has brought you therapy will be approached safely and sensitivity. If you are having to live with low self-esteem, debilitating anxiety, or PTSD, then CBT may work well for you. Therapy sessions will use clinically proven strategies to help you achieve your goals, and the techniques we choose will be based on the very best research. By the end of therapy, we’ll aim for you to have all the skills necessary to enjoy emotional well-being.

Hello, do you need space to talk? Together we can explore issues relating to bereavement, loss and grief, depression and anxiety, loneliness and isolation, low self-esteem and self-confidence, relationship issues or challenging family dynamics. I have special interest in working with bereavement, grief and loss and can help with what can be a very difficult time in your life. I gravitate towards psychodynamic approach to therapy and I will encourage you to be self-reflective, engage in self-exploration into your thoughts, feelings, emotions, experiences from early life, and the beliefs that you hold.

Have you always felt misunderstood or not good enough? Do you feel sad, confused or angry more than you would like ? My clinical background as an advanced nurse practitioner, combined with being a therapist, can give you the platform you need to feel heard, held and understood. Are you curious about the emotional impact of health issues such as menopause, PMS/PMDD, endometriosis, PCOS or fibromyalgia? Do you wonder if you are neurodivergent or are learning to process the joys and difficulties of ADHD and/or autism? Is past trauma holding you back? Are relationships difficult for you? I can help you understand yourself and thrive.

You may be struggling to manage amidst the challenges of daily life, unable to process a past experience, finding it hard to come to terms with significant life changes, experiencing challenges in your relationships, or wanting to reconnect with yourself and what’s important to you. You may have an altogether different reason for seeking out therapy, or not even know exactly what brings you here. Whatever the circumstances, I will offer a compassionate and non-judgemental space to explore and process your experience in a way that feels safe and useful to you.

I believe the most important thing in counselling is to develop a relationship of trust and confidence between therapist and client. I provide clients with a safe, confidential and warm space for them to reflect on the challenges they bring. Coming to counselling can be a daunting step; as a result it is that much more important to come into an accepting, empathic, non-judgemental environment. I take the view that there is no single approach that can be helpful to you in all situations. This gives more choice of how you want to look at your issues and creates flexibility to tailor therapy to your individual needs and aspirations.

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 work with people who are you feeling anxious or depressed or uncertain how to live in a way that feels satisfying. With people who have suffered bereavement, the end of a relationship or who are struggling with relationships that aren't working and leave them feeling unhappy. With people who are unhappy at work and feel stuck in a job that isn't what they'd hoped it would be, a job that's too challenging or not challenging enough. With people who are struggling with ways of being sexual, who find it hard to have the kind of sexual relationships they want, to know how to begin, negotiate or end intimate sexual relationships.

I am a Relate-trained relationship counsellor. I have a private practice in Clifton, Bristol. I work exclusively with couples. Couples come for counselling for a wide variety of reasons. It can be a great opportunity to explore what is or is not happening in your relationship and to make changes that lead to your couple life being both happier and healthier. Additionally, some couples may come for counselling to decide whether it is right for them to continue in their relationship.

I offer psychodynamic psychotherapy and counselling for adults with emotional and relationship difficulties. I have extensive experience of working in the NHS and voluntary sector, and now in private practice. Psychodynamic psychotherapy involves listening to what is going on underneath the surface, in order to understand emotional pain and problematic patterns. It can be a very effective treatment approach for a range of problems, including depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship or sexual difficulties, eating problems, emotional constriction, fear of intimacy, or feelings of being stuck or held back.

I offer a safe, non-judgmental space to be supported as you move through difficulty and suffering whether it be emotional pain, anxiety, depression, shame, loneliness or loss. Therapy can also support you to reconnect with what makes you come alive – with wholeness, purpose and meaning. Every part of you is welcome here and there are no subjects that cannot be explored.

Hello, I’m Vivienne (she/her) I’m a qualified counsellor who works with the LGBTQIA+ community as well as with people who want their cultural background to be a part of their therapy. As a queer woman with a mixed heritage background, I work in a way that looks at how the different identities you might hold can impact you. You might be queer identifying and have that be a part of your identity that we work with. Or have that be part of the context that we work in, but not the main focus of our work together.

Do you worry that you're a failure or not good enough? Do you feel low or anxious? These painful thoughts and feelings may show up from time to time, but perhaps you've noticed a more significant impact on your relationships and work and you are stuck, prevented from living fully? I understand that it can be overwhelming to speak to a professional about how you’re feeling. As an HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist, I support clients who may be struggling with anxiety, low mood, stress, burnout, loss/life transitions and 'imposter syndrome'. I practice integratively and my approach is warm, non-judgemental and compassionate.
