"In the heart of difficulty we can find our deepest potential."
Are you feeling stuck, confused or overwhelmed in certain areas of your life, somehow know or just hope that things could be different, yet fear opening up to explore those places? This is not a sign of failure or weakness – it is simply part of what it means to be human. Living in a body in the world is not easy and we inevitably find ourselves hurt and injured. Counter-intuitively, if we explore what's difficult and attend to those painful inner wounds we find that some of our deepest gifts and capacities are to be found hidden or latent in those places. That is one of the secrets to be found in the journey of healing in therapy.
It can be difficult to find our way through challenges such as these. Reaching out to a counsellor or psychotherapist for professional support at a time of need is an empowering step to take - you are making a choice to address the difficulty and begin a process which leads to change and growth.
I provide a safe, confidential relationship of earned trust within which you can explore the issues that feel important to you. I will support you to be present with and to explore whatever feels difficult, stuck and unresolved. When you meet your experience with compassion and openness, change and growth occur naturally. This process involves getting in touch with your inherent strengths and resources whilst attending to difficulties. It is a journey of recovering, discovering and deepening core qualities within you including compassion, clarity, confidence, creativity, connectedness, wisdom and love.
I am a counsellor and psychotherapist with a private practice in the North of Bristol, between Ashley Down, Eastville and Easton. I work with individuals and couples, both face-to-face and online. I also offer Tango Couples Therapy, an alternative, dance-oriented approach. I have an extensive background in meditation practice, including mindfulness, which informs my therapeutic practice.
I have a postgraduate Diploma in Gestalt Counselling and a further Diploma in Gestalt Psychotherapy. I am also a qualified Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapist which is now my primary therapeutic orientation. I am a Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) on the BACP Accredited Register and I abide by its Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions.
My work is grounded in the power, at the core of every one of us, to be present with all of our experience with an open heart and open mind. When we meet our experience from this deepest place everything takes its natural course with the healing of our emotional wounds, the harmonising of our inner life and the increasing capacity to contribute our unique gifts to the world. It would be my honour to accompany and support you on that hero's or heroine's journey.
If you are seeking a counsellor or psychotherapist as an individual or a couple, either online or in North Bristol (near Eastville/Easton/Ashley Down), you are welcome to get in touch with me here.
