Karen O'Connell

I presently have space for new clients and work face to face or online in Cheltenham and Bristol.

Welcome to my Counselling & Psychotherapy Service in Bristol and Cheltenham. I am an experienced and fully accredited Psychotherapist (MA Dip, Hip) and UKCP registered. I see clients with a range of issues on both a long term and short-term basis. This includes:

Anxiety, Depression, Low Self-Esteem, Work Related Stress and Relationship difficulties to early childhood trauma and Neurodiversity

There are times in our lives when we need someone to talk to about our difficulties outside our immediate family. Psychotherapy will offer you the opportunity to explore your concerns within a safe and confidential space. By working together, client’s feel they are not alone and gain a better understanding of their difficulties to move forward in their lives.

I am also a Couples Counsellor and work with relationship difficulties. I support clients to build better communication together and to work through their issues in a safe and appropriate environment.

Please do contact me if you wish to discuss Psychotherapy or Couples Counselling. I would be happy to discuss this with you and also offer a lower cost initial session for you to explore therapy sessions and whether this is right for you.

Psychotherapy is a talking therapy which enables you to gain a greater insight into who you truly are and will help you move forward in your life. The focus of the sessions may be to work through immediate difficulties you are facing or something more deep-seated in your life or in your relationships with others. The emphasis is on helping you feel heard without judgement in order for you to explore your issues and concerns. A Psychotherapeutic holding environment can be a very healing and restorative process. With the support and working together clients feel they are not alone and are able to overcome adverse experiences in their lives.
