Angela Briggs

Welcome to my page, I am a Bristol based counsellor, offering appointments in person and online.

I understand that it can be difficult to choose a counsellor given the many different varieties of counselling and counsellors available. To support you in deciding if I am the right counsellor for you, I can arrange a free twenty minute no obligation telephone consultations. This offers you space to talk with me and ask any questions before deciding if you would like to book an appointment. 

I am a trained integrative counsellor, meaning I draw on more than one counselling theory in my work. During our counselling sessions, I will support you in working through difficulties in a way that is best suited to you and the issues you bring to counselling.

Since qualifying and alongside my private practice, I have provided counselling in various agencies such as the Southmead Project and Carers Support Centre. My work experience and additional professional development has allowed me to gain experience in working with a variety of issues and people from all walks of life. 

If you would like to find out more, please feel free to call or email - I will be happy to answer any questions or arrange an initial meeting/telephone consultation. 

Supervision is a crucial aspect of clinical work, providing a space to reflect, discuss challenging cases, and gain deeper understanding and clarity around your work. I offer a collaborative and relational approach to supervision, helping you explore areas where you feel stuck and gain new perspectives within a supportive supervisory relationship.

About My Supervision Approach:

Reflective Space: Discuss your clients, explore challenging areas, and gain clarity.

Collaborative and Relational: Work together to view your work from different angles.

Wellbeing Focus: While supervision is not personal therapy, your wellbeing is prioritised to ensure you remain happy in your work and can best support your clients.

Qualified as an integrative counsellor with Bath Centre for Counselling and Psychotherapy in 2014.

Hold a BA (Hons) in Counselling and Society from the University of Wales 2008.

Experience as a therapeutic support worker in a youth therapeutic community, trauma and addiction specialist at The Southmead Project, and telephone counsellor for the Carers Support Centre.

Currently running a busy private practice in Clifton, Bristol, and online.

Specialisation and Suitability:

I work from an integrative approach, combining person-centred and psychodynamic theories, with a strong background in trauma. My supervision is ideal for therapists interested in relational work and trauma-informed practice.
