Paul Bridge

I am a highly experienced counsellor and supervisor who values and respects my clients. I offer a safe and confidential space where your concerns and issues can be shared without judgement.

What will counselling achieve for you

Life isn't always easy and sometimes events and people can conspire against us. This can cause us to feel overwhelmed and powerless, unable to deal with a mind that's constantly telling us we can't cope. Counselling can help us to tap into our own inner strength and resources to provide answers to problems we can't seem to find on our own. A good counsellor will not judge you, they are guide to show you the road back to a state of inner peace.

What you can expect to happen?

Once you have made contact we will agree a date and time for your first session.

When you arrive for your session you will be greeted with a smile and a warm welcome. I will offer you a drink and show you where the bathroom is and ensure that you have somewhere comfortable to sit whilst we chat. I will explain the importance of confidentiality within the counselling relationship to ensure that you feel that our sessions are safe.

I will listen and give you the opportunity to feel really heard and then at the end of that first session we will come up with a plan together of how best to move forward so that you can start to feel better.

The session will last an hour.

When the session is complete we will diary our next session.

The supervisor’s goal is “to do whatever seems most likely to send the other person away more aware, more informed, skilled and encouraged than he/she was when they came in.” 

I am a fully qualified supervisor. I offer a free half hour session so that we can see if we are compatable and what I offer is right for you.

I charge £50 pounds for 1.5hrs but students recieve the concessionary rate of £35 per session.
