Counselling That Puts You First
Professional Counselling Services in South Bristol
I’m Laura, an integrative Person Centred Counsellor working and living in Bristol. I believe that counselling can greatly benefit everyone.
Counselling can be transformative for many issues - if you are feeling stuck in life, struggling with some unexpected changes, trying to cope with anxiety or low moods or attempting to find more boundaries in your relationships.
I’ve successfully worked with many clients with these and other concerns - including lack of motivation, poor self esteem, relationship difficulties, bereavement, childhood trauma, stress, chronic health conditions and those just wishing to develop a stronger sense of self.
I will work with you on whatever it is you are struggling with - it may be something happening now or a problem or trauma from the past.
Anything you would like to bring to counselling is welcome here.
We’ll go at your pace, centred on what you wish to talk about (with no need to address anything before you are ready to).
I’ll provide a safe, calm, confidential environment so you can relax, be at ease and we can focus entirely on you and what you want to solve.
If you would like to find out more just use the 'contact me' tab and I will get back to you within 48 hours to schedule our initial consultation.
Free 20 minute video consultation
Once I've your message, I will reply by email to arrange your free 20 minute video consultation. Here you can ask any questions you might have and see if I am the right counsellor for you.
Booking sessions
In the initial consultation, if you do decide to proceed with counselling, together we can book your initial session.
This time slot will then be yours every week/fortnight for as long as you need it.
I’m friendly, accepting and non judgemental and actively work with you to build a strong therapeutic relationship. This therapeutic relationship is at the heart of what makes counselling so restoring, resolving and revitalising.
As a Person Centred Counsellor, I don’t fixate on any “labels” you may have been given. Instead we’ll concentrate on you as a person and what’s important to you. You know your situation better than anyone - counselling is not a “one size fits all.”
I’ll always listen very carefully with complete empathy, to try and fully understand you and your situation.
If your problems currently feel overwhelming, counselling can let you take a welcome step back and gain a more insightful perspective on everything that is going on for you.
The sessions are yours.
I’ll be with you every step of the way, to help effectively deal with the issues, hold space for you and be with you as together we find the right solutions for you.
The entire aim is for you to live the life you so much want!
