Counselling and Psychotherapy in Bristol

Counselling is about self knowledge.

Here, we study reactions and responses before people have them, in order to have choice about how to react.

What I offer is a supportive approach, from the heart, guiding people towards a nourishing experience, and towards trusting your instincts. Also, the therapeutic relationship helps to re-pattern the stress and tension stored in the body and mind.

Service Provided

Counselling and psychotherapy for individuals. My therapeutic approach is influenced by my experience and training in more traditional psychotherapies, such as Person-Centered counselling, Gestalt, Psychodynamics, Attachment theory, Cognitive-Behavioural and Family Systems therapy.
However, my foundation is in Body-Oriented Psychotherapy (See next page)
With a background in Art History and training in Sandplay, Child Therapy and Visualisation, I am also interested in creative expression.

My approach, although informed by body-oriented psychotherapy, is eclectic and flexible, and will be different for each individual.

Number of Sessions

Counselling and Psychotherapy work over a short and a long- term period. From the very first session clients may be introduced to an extremely valuable tool; a way to access their real, holistic, complete experience. Clients will also be offered caring and nourishment.
The longer the therapy the more the client will receive support around being able to exercise her/his ability to use this new tool. Like the use of a muscle that has not been exercised for a while, learning to implement this new tool takes practice and exercise. And caring and nourishment may be savoured for as long or as little as the client desires.
