Taking the first step …
Discover the Right Path with an Assessment
Embark on a journey of self-discovery with a personalized therapy assessment. Take the time to explore and determine if this therapeutic approach aligns with your needs. I am here to guide you through the process at a pace that suits you.
If you're new to counselling, you may wonder about the benefits it can bring. It's important to acknowledge that facing challenges is a part of the human experience, and seeking support is a commendable step. Whether you're grappling with anxiety, stress, or a sense of stagnation, opening up to someone can be profoundly valuable.
Engage in meaningful conversations within a safe, confidential, and supportive environment in South Bristol or online, with a friendly, caring and holding counsellor. I offer a non-judgmental space where you can freely explore your concerns. The reflective nature of our sessions provides an optimal setting to address and navigate the complexities you may be facing.
Flexible Session Options
I understand the importance of accessibility, which is why I offer remote therapy sessions via Zoom or phone, ensuring you can connect with me from the comfort of your own home/office. Additionally, for those who prefer a more active and outdoor approach, I provide Walk and Talk therapy sessions in scenic locations across Bristol, such as Ashton Court, Victoria Park or Leigh Woods.
Take the first step towards a healthier, more fulfilling life. Schedule your assessment today and embark on a journey of self-improvement.
