Find your therapist

Sometimes life is a struggle and can be confusing, stressful and overwhelming. Obstacles block your path and it may feel you are stuck or are going around in circles and are unsure of the way forward. You may feel anxious, angry or depressed, and you are merely surviving, rather than thriving.
I offer a safe, non-judgmental, empathetic and understanding place for you to explore your thoughts, feelings and emotions as well as be there for you to manage these in a safe and confidential environment at my private practice.  I am currently also working online via telephone or Zoom.

Well done for getting here! Seeking help is the first step to making a positive change. And choosing the right counsellor for you is so important.

I am a Person-Centred Therapist. Originally from the UK, I am now based abroad (in the sunny island of Mauritius) I offer online video and e-mail counselling.

I have a BSc in Psychology and Diploma in Person-Centred Counselling. I am a member of the BACP (The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).

As a Person-Centred therapist, I work in a non-directive way. I work with the belief that the client is the expert. Sometimes, we may hit a brick wall with issues that are not allowing us to live a healthy and normal life. It is not always easy to admit that we need help, but in doing so, you are taking care of yourself.

Counselling will provide you with the opportunity to understand yourself better and to move forward in a positive way. In the counselling sessions, through care, time, empathy and no fear of being judged, you will have the space to speak about whatever you wish, and we will work at your pace.

As I work solely online, video sessions are conducted via Zoom.

In the past, I have worked with the charity Life Changes, with provides low cost counselling to individuals. I have also volunteered with Yellow Door (formerly Southampton Rape Crisis).

Please contact me via email if you are interested in starting counselling.

****To help as many people as possible during this pandemic I am offering a 50% reduction on my hourly rate for a reduced period during this difficult time******

I know how difficult it must be searching through the profiles trying to find the right therapist/coach. Making the decision to enter into therapy is a brave one and sometimes it can be difficult. I have been told by clients that I am calm, warm, welcoming and approachable. I have also been told that I am able to put them at ease.

I offer a safe non judgemental space to work through your difficulties and offer strategies and tools to quickly reduce your symptoms and help you feel more in control. I specialise in anger, anxiety, depression, obsessive and compulsive behaviours, stress and trauma. Many of my clients self-report to feeling much better after 6-8 sessions.

As a psychotherapist,  I help you explore and understand patterns in your thinking and in relationships with others and with yourself  that may be causing you pain or making you feel stuck. I help you find your own solutions instead of giving you advice. I believe if you are given a safe space to be heard you will find your own healing.

Would you like to take back control of your life? Are you stressed, tired, or struggling to cope with a stress-related condition. Would you like to have more time to yourself to relax, recharge and feel better, to change to a more focused positive mindset, to achieve a goals you always wanted, to feel more positive about yourself and start living the life you want?

“Are you looking for support to take control of an issue in your life? You’ve come to the right place.”

​
“When you learn strategies that help you to relax, focus and feel in control, life can change immeasurably.”

My story

Thats where I can support you! I am Daniel, a Clinical Solution Focused Hypnotherapist based in North Bristol.

“As a child I suffered with sight and hearing problems, often finding that some people struggled to understand and accept the difficulties I was facing. As is often the case, this affected me mentally leading to low self-confidence and anxiety issues. Without proper treatment, my mental health problems followed me through university and the first stages of my career. Since then, I’ve suffered numerous medical issues from osteoporosis to brain seizures and chronic pain – I even had to spend a six-month stint in a wheelchair and two months in hospital recuperating after an accident.

I’m not telling you this for sympathy, what I’m trying to say is, “I get it”. I understand how hard it is. The thing I’ve learned through all of this is the importance of not giving up, of finding the positives and focusing on the future. I believe whole-heartedly in the impact that solution focused hypnotherapy can have on the psychological effects of a chronic physical condition. If you feel you’re ready for something to change, then I believe I’m the person to help make that possible. I’d love to give you the tools and techniques to get you back in control and living your best life.”

I offer in person one2one private consultations at The Arches Therapy Rooms, 1st Floor Clinic, 198 Cheltenham Road, Montpellier, Bristol BS6 5QZ.  If you would prefer an online consultation instead from the comfort of your home? Thats total fine! Find out more about how my hypnotherapy services could help you move forward with positivity by giving me a call or email me.

I have been a practising psychotherapist since 1999 with a former career in commerce, and I also maintain an artistic practice alongside my therapy work.  My wide range of life experience helps me to ‘put myself in your shoes’ and empathise with your individual situation in the context of the uncertain and tragic times we find ourselves in.  I understand the difficulties in balancing earning a living, supporting family, ‘holding it all together’  and trying to live an authentic life where you are able to feel more alive, enriched and nourished by your world.  I have a deep interest in nature and ecology as well as the arts, culture, literature and music.   I work with individual adults and couples, as well as having been a tutor on Counselling Skills and Diploma courses.  I work in private practice both online and face to face and have worked in a number of different settings such as an NHS Medical Centre, specialist therapist for Crohns disease at Derriford Hospital, Eating Disorder Support charity and Sexual Abuse Help Centre.

I am a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist with extensive NHS experience. I am the Mental Health Lead for the Cambridge Medical Academy (Cambridge University), where I train a global network of 800+ doctors and nurses in mental health. My research on improving access to mental health has been published internationally. I lecture at Southampton University teaching the Phd and MSc Psychology students. I provide in depth assessment and treatment for a range of psychological and emotional problems.

During my career, I have gained significant experience and supporting people to become psychologically and emotionally well again. Many of the patients I have supported have required specialist support with chronic anxiety and depression, low self-esteem, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, addiction and physical and psychological pain. I have in-depth clinical knowledge of how to manage complex psychological conditions.

My first degree in Anthropology and MSc in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy sit as a foundation for all of my professional work. This has included the clinical delivery and management of services for young people, troubled families and secondary care psychotherapy (complex comorbidity and Personality Disorders).

I’m an Integrative Arts Psychotherapist accredited by the HCPC (UK) I specialise in Online Therapy with adults and younger people transitioning into adulthood.

I run my own practice called Ray of hope counselling services,  I  have a degree in counselling and psychotherapy. I also have an advanced diploma in integrative counselling.  I  offer clients therapy using the humanistic approach. I have a great deal of experience in counselling and group work.  I have worked within various professional organisations, including the NHS and The Priory Hospital, working with addiction and many other issues such as  trauma anxiety and depression.

I provide a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment offering my clients unconditional, positive regard and empathy as they grow and develop. This can lead to greater insight, healing and progress.  Sometimes the world we live in gets tough. There can be so many mix messages which we start to believe about ourselves, this can sometimes develop into a negative core belief such as. ” I’m not good enough or I don’t fit in”, and many more, as a result of this clients can often feel depressed, it starts to affect self-esteem. Counselling can help clients to challenge these negative core beliefs and help break the patterns this will result in a more positive self-concept. and self-belief.

We are living in challenging times of fear, uncertainty and confusion,

Many people are noticing our differences rather than what unites and connects us all.

It’s easy to get distracted or even addicted to relying on what the media want us to focus on and worry about, whilst losing our sense of self.

We’re not taught or encouraged in many western establishments these days to practice self-inquiry or reflection. This is not good for personal autonomy or building courage or confidence.

It’s also easy for us to lose touch with how we feel, perhaps because we are afraid of what others might think of us if we dare to think differently.

Thankfully coming to counselling and other self-development work can be a way of learning to manage and cope with uncertainty. And get back in touch with what is important to us, and reconnect with our true feelings and senses.

From here we can grow both mentally and physically stronger and more confident of who we are, and what is right for us and our loved ones.

I always want my work to be first and foremost about being of service to others.

I’ve had an awareness for many years that much of the suffering and terrible things that happen in the world are fundamentally unnecessary and wrong. And that collectively we can help each other to grow stronger and more resourceful individuals and communities.

Self-development is not only an investment in yourself, but it’s also an investment in society in that we are saying we are committed to becoming a better version of ourselves each day.

Maybe now is the perfect time to invest in yourself? More and more people are seeking to become more self-actualizing and to reach their true potential.

What would you like to understand better, react differently to, grow stronger in, or be more accepting of?

One of the ways we can do this is by, when possible, making use of the challenges and adversity we face by seeing them as opportunities to grow.  Of course, this is not always easy!

I have found through activities like ‘Wim Hof method’ cold therapy training. What doesn’t kill us can most definitely make us stronger.

If we take sensible risks and practice over-riding our fight-flight responses, we can develop the resilience we need through gentle repetitive exposure to what we find challenging. This can help us to re-write our responses.

As well as reducing the need to over-rely on medication to function, which also risks putting harmful toxins into our bodies as well as having potentially negative side effects including addiction.

It’s far better to get back in touch with our true nature the way our ancestors were.

My name is Pete Tobias and I am a qualified and experienced counsellor / therapist practising online, and in South East London (Near London Bridge / Borough Stations) and North West London (Kentish Town).

I offer a safe, non-judgemental environment where self-healing can begin. I use an integrative approach to therapy, which allows me to draw from a variety of theories and models to fit your needs. I work with the aim of enabling you to enhance your life and to live it more fully.

Hello, I am a very creative and warm, caring Therapist. I work very ethically and I am very dedicated and passionate about my work. I work holistically: I work with patterns of behaviour, thoughts and feelings and with the whole body.

I work with both men and women and currently offer sessions via Zoom, Skype or on the telephone. 

I am a qualified counsellor with 17 years experience in mental health for the NHS.
I do realise that more than ever now that people require a new way of working through their mental health issues and this is an area of therapy that I am passionate about that is delivered in a method that is accessible to the majority of the community.
I have trained in the integral model so am able to facilitate differing areas of therapy from person centred to CBT and solution focus therapy.
I have volunteered with organisations to gain a rounded experience of therapeutic interventions and have my own practice exercising both face to face and online counselling sessions.

I’m a Graduate Integrative Counsellor, providing short and long-term theapy. I don’t diagnose you or tell you what to do, rather support you with whatever it is you wish to bring. I offer a collaborative and understanding therapeutic relationship believing that Counselling helps with many problems whether they are relational, emotional or caused by trauma. It provides some time and space to focus on your concerns, often leading to gaining insight and clarity. It’s an opportunity for honest open communication, without the fear of judgement and repercussions. This self-exploration tends to aid growth and healing, ultimately resulting in change and acceptance. You will be both seen and heard, whatever it is you’re going through.

I am a Relate trained counsellor and sex therapist with over 16 years’ experience. I specialise in helping those with relationship difficulties, intimacy issues and porn and sex addiction. I provide a secure and non-judgmental space – somewhere that you can feel safe to communicate your feelings and identify problems you are facing.

If you are thinking about making some changes in your life, and if you feel you need a helping hand, I can help you find a way through. I know it’s a cliché but you really have made the first step already. Take a few minutes to read a little more, and if you think I can help, just let me know.

I have over 30 years experience within Addiction /Dependencies, and related fields, working with a wide variety of clients from diverse backgrounds and cultures.  I have developed and managed an integrated Hypnotherapy approach which includes aspects of Solution Focus and Motivational models, and elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. In addition to Alcohol and Drug problems, many of my clients have been seeking help for Anxiety and Stress, Relationship difficulties, Phobias, Confidence issues and Smoking Cessation.

All that might sound a bit complicated but, to be honest, it can be quite simple really. We talk things over for a bit, look at the changes you want to make, decide between us if Hypnotherapy might help, and we take it from there. There is no great mystery to Hypnotherapy. Nothing to be afraid of. No one can make you do anything you don’t want to do.  TV stunts are nothing to do with Hypnotherapy. In all these years I’ve never seen anyone cluck like a chicken but I’ve seen plenty make a positive difference to their life.
