Counselling in Bath

I am a Narcissistic/Abuse Specialist. I support families, couples, adults & teens to understand their unhealthy relationships. Are all your relationships being affected; family, romantic, friendships, work, school? Do you struggle with (sometimes chronic) health issues? I struggled with abusive/narcissistic relationships for years & needed support to understand how this affected me & what I needed to change to have healthy relationships.

I work with clients who typically feel emotionally trapped, oscillating between extremes. For instance, a client with fragile confidence or who struggles with anxiety and shame might isolate themselves socially or avoid taking risks in their career in an attempt to find relief. As their lives feel more restricted, they may have a strong urge to escape the way they feel by further isolating or making drastic changes. Clients seek therapy to break these unhelpful patterns, develop trust in their supportive inner voice, and find more meaningful than reactive change.

Deborah Creed is a UKCP (UK Council for Psychotherapy) and AFT (Association of Family Therapy) accredited systemic psychotherapist with over ten years experience working with children, adolescents, and adults.

She has a wealth of experience working with problems such as anxiety, behaviour, eating disorders, sleep, social anxiety, bullying, or school-related problems. Deborah has worked with many clients affected by separation, divorce, trauma, or couples wanting to reconnect. Deborah offers a bespoke service to meet the needs of the client. This is a private practice. It is a highly successful and discreet place to talk

I am a qualified counsellor and complementary health practitioner and tutor. I studied counselling and addiction at the University of Bath and I also have wide ranging life and work experience. Most of us can have times in life when it seems as though we can't cope and we may feel worried, fearful or confused. At these times it can be helpful to give ourselves the gift of speaking to someone who is not a family member or friend, someone we can be honest with, without fear of judgement or opinion.

Are you experiencing distress or dissatisfaction in your life no matter how hard you try? This may have been going on for a long time or perhaps you're left feeling out-of-control after a loved-one dying, a big change happening in your life, or maybe illness striking you or somebody that you care for? Perhaps nothing has happened, but you feel stuck and unhappy with your life and relationships? Are you exhausted taking care of others needs whilst ignoring your own? Whatever your situation you would like to find greater ease within yourself and have more satisfying relationships with other people in your life.

You may wholeheartedly wish to cut down or stop drinking and/or using substances but find it harder to do than you imagined. Problematic drug and alcohol use causes unhappiness – to you and the people around you. I offer online therapy for alcohol/drug problems, including treatment aftercare, recovery mentoring and relapse prevention guidance. Addiction counselling helps you understand addiction, strengthens your commitment to cutting down or achieving abstinence, and addresses the risky thinking and behaviour that can sabotage recovery. I've also helped partners and family members affected by addiction for more than 20 years.

Are you looking for change? Do you want to move beyond the pain of your current situation or past traumas? Are you experiencing relationship difficulties and don't know how to go beyond the current situation? Whatever the issues you are facing, I will work with you to help you move towards the place you (both) want to be. I have extensive knowledge of working with clients with a range of mental health difficulties, including people in emotional crisis. I believe that every person has the potential for recovery and growth, with as an individual or within relationship with another person. Transformation is always possible.

Choosing a therapist can be a stressful process, and it's difficult to decide which kind of therapy to try. Many people find it helpful to work with a therapist who has trained in more than one therapy, who can switch to a different therapy when needed, and who can tailor sessions according to your needs. You can have a phone consultation with me to discuss what you are looking for and ask questions. 16 years experience in supporting neurodivergent clients (with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia or other difficulties) led me to further training in autism, and specialised CBT and ACT for ADHD and emotional regulation problems.

I work in Bath and have worked in the NHS for over 15 years as a highly skilled Chartered Clinical Psychologist statutory regulated by HCPC. I use evidence based approaches to help manage core issues like anxiety, depression, low mood and emotion dysregulation. I also offer EMDR trauma therapy for PTSD and trauma which is highly effective. I am passionate about supporting people's journey to recovery and increased wellbeing.

Life can sometimes feel overwhelming and it can be a struggle to cope with life’s challenges…you’re not alone. I am Lindsay, a psychotherapeutic counsellor, working in Bristol, Bath and online.

I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist with more than 30 years’ experience working in the NHS and in private practice. I offer a confidential and safe space for individuals, couples, and groups. My practices are in two locations - central Bath and London. I have a wealth of expertise in working with a wide variety and complexity of issues that people bring. These include anxiety, depression, bereavement, relationship difficulties, suicidality, physical and sexual abuse, self-harm, borderline personality disorder, grief, loss, and work-related stress. I work with adults of all ages both face to face and online.

Welcome. If you're seeking support for life's challenges, you've taken an important step. As a German-trained CBT psychotherapist now practising in the UK, I bring over a decade of rigorous education and supervised practice to our sessions. I specialize in evidence-based treatments for a range of mental health concerns, offering a safe and non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings.

Welcome to my page! I'm glad you're here. I am a clinical sexologist registered with the College of Sexual and Relationship Therapy (COSRT), working mainly with men around topics including relationships, sex, and problematic sexual behaviours which may include compulsive sexual behaviour (so-called sex/porn addiction). I offer an empathic and non-shaming environment to explore issues, such as betrayals, mismatched desire or enhancing sexual intimacy. I can help to find ways to listen, share and restore connection.

If you are looking for a psychoanalytic psychotherapist who specialises in women's therapy, I have had many years of experience offering psychotherapy to women of all ages and with all emotional difficulties. I have written on body image and provided organisations with presentations on eating disorders: Eating disorders: how to understand, how to help. For over 30 years I have worked with these problems, emotional trauma and personality disorder. I can also help you with a process that can enable you to move forward with life transitions and how you may be able to negotiate change.

Do you have problems with anxiety, depression or post traumatic stress symptoms? I practice Body Psychotherapy, a way of working with the body and mind which can release trauma symptoms held in the body. Often what is needed is to actually inhabit our body more and to let go of the mind and fears of the future or memories of the past. When we can more easily inhabit the present moment we can be in our body in harmony and ease. Please contact me if you resonate with any of this and also find more details on my website www.suehealerbath.co.uk I offer in person sessions and also distant sessions which can work just as well

For me, counselling is about offering you a welcoming and trustworthy space to pause, to reflect and to explore what is going on for you in the here and now. There are no rights or wrongs in counselling and people access counselling for many different reasons. It is a space where you can tell your story in your own words and expect to be heard with compassion, honesty and respect. I have experience of working with a broad range of emotional experiences, (relationships, identity, family life, work, anxiety, stress, low mood, past trauma & loss) and helping clients to find clarity, move forward and regain a sense of control.

It is not at all unusual for any of us to experience a sense of anxiety or depression due to a life event that has caused us to feel “disconnected,” or simply “overwhelmed.” We might experience a bereavement or loss (a job, a relationship, a marriage); or issues may arise related to dating, getting married, or ageing and retirement. Alternatively, we might feel unable to be “ourselves,” or have the desire to nurture other aspects of our personality that seem underdeveloped: a lack of confidence to take risks and engage life, an ability to slow down, or an ability to be honest about our feelings with others. Psyhotherapy can help.

As a psychotherapist in training, I draw upon a range of approaches to suit the uniqueness of each client. I work collaboratively in exploring your difficult emotions and aspects of your past and present that might be influencing your current distress and your relationship patterns. Through our evolving therapeutic relationship, we can explore how you may be able to approach life's challenges with greater resilience and with the possibility for change.

I work with adults from all backgrounds looking for the confidence to build a life with flow, purpose and meaning. As we work together, my approach helps you to find yourself, and gain clarity, giving you the opportunity to explore and release limitations.
