I am only five sessions in and I have already noticed a very positive change in my life - and it only seems to grow every time I see Beau. Thanks to him, I am starting to be able to control my anxiety, and I believe I am on a journey to finding my true, much happier self! Every session I walk away with a big smile on my face, increased confidence and determination. I am so excited for the future, as I know theres still plenty of progress to be made.

Stay? Leave? Left? A space to support you making a huge life decision, remember it's always your choice - but I can support you through the process. Perhaps you have gone through the whole divorce process and have come out the other side and are feeling as lost and scared as you did at the beginning because 'when the divorce comes through' has been your mantra and now it has nothing has changed about the way you feel?

Becca is a warm, gentle, totally approachable and immensely gifted woman. Our paths crossed last year and through her guidance, listening and reiki sessions she has helped me remember 'me' and has given me tools on how to focus on my important stuff and not stress about the rest. I can not recommend her highly enough and I whole heartedly believe that everyone needs a bit of 'Becca' in their lives. X

Through my work I’ve helped people get get better relationships, higher pay at work, less anxiety in social situations, more self acceptance in themselves and with family, better sleep and break out of a cycle of toxic relationships and find a deep sense of inner-peace. You can achieve this in many ways. My approach in based on helping you practice a few key mindfulness-based skills:

I have been seeing Neil 1 to 1 for almost a year now and his approach to mindfulness and wellbeing is grounded and refreshing. He is creative, compassionate and takes great care in his sessions. I’m not familiar being vulnerable with others yet speaking to Neil about intimate issues was easy and welcomed from the start. If you are in a position where you can afford it I strongly recommend any sort of mental health work, especially with someone like Neil. There are number of avenues to find counselling and it is hard to find someone who you can resonate with. Also, given the nature of our society and the individual disconnection to our experience, the struggle to learn how to be mindful is real. This has helped me appreciate how lucky I am to have found Neil. He has gently introduced me to my responsibility to my own wellbeing and has taught me to be patient, curious and above all, compassionate to myself. There are no instant fixes to mental health, it is a lengthy process to which I am so grateful to have Neil help guide me through it.

As my company has grown and got busier I was finding it increasingly hard to manage time and increasing number of tasks effectively.
Nicky was amazing at breaking down the issues and challenges I was having with focus, changing contexts and tackling tasks of different size and importance.
Nicky broke down the different issues I was putting in the way and helped rebuild my approach.
I couldn't speak high enough for how amazing she is to work with and the results she helps deliver.

I began seeing Bridget after finding out I was pregnant and losing my mum in the space of a couple of months. Bridget's approachable, open and kind manner made it very easy for me to feel at ease sharing my difficulties and speaking openly about them. Bridget's calm and personal way of working made it easy for me to trust her, and her experience in counselling helped me to understand myself better and gave me the self belief I needed to get through a very hard time. I can't recommend Bridget enough, she is a kind and caring professional and as we covered a lot of 'topics', I can honestly say that she has a lots of experience in many different areas of counselling covering bereavement, pregnancy, self confidence, family worries and career difficulties.

Hello and welcome. I’m Ingrid. I am an experienced practitioner working in Portishead and central Bristol. I hold a Diploma in Integrative Transpersonal Counselling and a postgraduate certificate in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy. Please see my website https://ingridmurphycounselling.co.uk or below for more information about my approach. Don't hesitate to get in touch for an initial reduced cost session to find out whether you’d like to work with me.
Professional and affordable counselling services with qualified therapists across the Bristol area. All of our counsellors are UKCP Registered Psychotherapists and AFT Members, offering counselling across a wide range of issues. Our approach is primarily conversational, utilising a range of CBT, mindfulness and anxiety reduction techniques to help clients overcome the challenges they are facing.
As a professional counsellor, I encourage my clients to address their problems in a positive way. I do this by helping them to clarify the issues, develop self-help strategies, and increase self-awareness. As someone who is not connected to my client’s life in any way, I can provide a neutral and completely non-judgmental viewpoint. This enables clients to work through personal problems in a way that they are often not able to with friends or family. The process of discussing and talking through worries, concerns, or anxieties can help you come to terms with them, and to understand yourself more. As well as lending an empathetic ear, I can identify any negative thought cycles and associated behaviours.
People see counsellors for a variety of reasons, which are personal to the individual. These include mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety and mood disorders, or after experiencing a life change or traumatic event. I can help with all of these, but I specialise in trauma and abuse counselling. A lot of my clients are students – student counselling is particularly common in Bristol, as an increased number of young and adolescent people are seeking help from counsellors.
I usually encourage new clients to write down their reasons for seeking help through counselling. You can then bring this to your first session and we can use it as a starting point. Your first counselling or psychotherapy session marks the start of a journey, but the progress and any changes may take time to happen. I’m not here to judge you, and I won’t mind if you get upset during your sessions. As an experienced and qualified counsellor, I have worked with a variety of people on a range of personal issues.
How much does Counselling cost?
Your expert Counsellor will be able to advise you on the full range of services available and will be able to advise on what is most suitable. Use Bark to get free quotes and schedule an appointment today.
What should I expect from my Counselling session?
At your appointment, you will be encouraged to talk about your feelings and emotions with a trained Counsellor who will listen and support you without judging or criticising.
The therapist can help you gain a better understanding of your feelings and thought processes and find your own solutions to problems. However, they will not usually give advice or tell you what to do. The Counsellor might sum up what they understand you have been saying so that they can help you to form a plan of action.
Counselling can take place in a number of ways. These include:
Face to face session
Group session
Phone session
Email session
Online through live chat services or video conferencing software
You may be offered a single session of Counselling, a short course of sessions over a few weeks or months or a longer course that lasts for several months or years.
It can take a number of sessions before you start to see progress but you should gradually start to feel better with the help and support of your Counsellor.
You can be confident that any of the Bark local Counsellors listed will give you a reliable and efficient service to help you feel better.
What should I look for when booking a Counselling session?
You could look for Counsellors that are accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA) which means that they have met the PSA’s required professional standards to practise.
Before you choose a Counsellor, you could read testimonials and read details of the issues they can help with on their website.
You could also look at their profile page on Bark and check out reviews from past customers too.

Mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety or eating disorders.
Physical health conditions such as infertility.
