About me and my therapy practice
I am a fully qualified Person-Centred Integrative Counsellor. Using an integrative model of therapy means I draw upon different therapeutic approaches, depending on your needs and goals.
I work from a humanistic base, placing great emphasis on building a deep understanding, trusting, empathic and warm relationship with my clients.
Practice description
I work from a newly refurbished therapy room in the following location:
26 Orchard Street, Bristol, BS1 5ED
There is off street parking on Orchard Street and a multi-storey car park on Trenchard Street.
We are not far from the main bus station and buses from all over town stop in the centre around Augustines Parade and Colston Avenue.
My first session
Regardless of where you've come from, what you've experienced, or what direction you wish to go, initiating the process of therapy could be the gift you give yourself that helps you to unlock doors in your life you never knew were there...

Practice description
All of the practitioners at Talk Club Therapy have a person-centred core but are also integrative.
My first session
The structure will be asking the members to check in by asking "How are you? Out of 10?" generally and what brings you to therapy.
The group will have time to explore whatever comes up in the sessions with the support of a qualified therapist and a trainee therapist in each session.
We will also have a check out round where we will ask again "How are you? Out of 10?" and what have you learned about yourself in the session today.
