Lisa Bristow

I am an Integrative Psychotherapist, using different therapeutic approaches to suit my clients' needs. I have over 10 years experience working in mental health settings.

People come to counselling for lots of different reasons: maybe you're feeling angry, sad, anxious or confused; struggling with bereavement, life changes, work or relationship issues, or feeling overwhelmed. I provide a warm and healing space to explore issues which may be hard to share with others yet alone voice. I aim to help you to understand yourself better, the patterns and habits that are troubling you and to make the best changes for yourself.

I have particular experience with grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, low self esteem, relationship and work issues, but am flexible with what you bring. Whatever brings you to therapy, I will help you to explore it with compassion so you can come to terms with difficult experiences, gain greater self-awareness and feel empowered to move forward.

I work in an integrative way which means that I use various modalities in my work namely psychodynamic and humanistic, adapting my style to meet your needs and ensuring you feel in control and safe in the process.

Seeking counselling can be daunting so I aim to provide a safe and supportive space to explore your emotions without fear of judgement and to feel genuinely heard.

If you’re considering therapy, I invite you to get in touch for a free 15-minute phone call. A chance for us to see if we might be a good fit and if this approach feels right for you. Should we decide to meet, we’ll start with an initial consultation session before deciding to begin regular weekly sessions. I offer therapy in person in a private room in Horsham by near the train station or I an offer online or telephone sessions.  

During our first session we will talk through what brings you to therapy and how you hope it can help. We will also discuss any specific goals or questions you may have.
