Welcome to Bristol Creative Therapy
Counselling, Creative Therapy & Supervision in Bristol, UK
I’m a warm, approachable therapist based in a bright, welcoming space in Clifton Village. I see counselling as a journey we take together to better understand you—your experiences, your thoughts, and your emotions. Therapy is a collaborative process, and it can really help build emotional resilience over time. I also offer creative approaches, which can be especially helpful when words don’t quite capture how you’re feeling.
Sometimes exploring things through art or other creative methods can give us a new way in, especially when things feel hard to talk about. I aim to work in a way that suits you. Whether you’d like to talk, get creative, or a mix of both, we’ll go at your pace. You're in control of what we explore, and I’ll try to tailor my approach to support you in the way that feels most helpful.
“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I change"
