Julia Scott, Registered MBACP, MNCS (Accredited)
About me
Are you struggling to cope with overwhelming emotions? Feeling low and lacking in motivation? Stuck in patterns of thinking, behaving and relating that you feel powerless to change?
I have 15 years' experience of working successfully with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, low self-esteem, anger management, grief and loss, relationship issues, self-harm and the impact of emotional, physical and sexual abuse. I have a special interest in working with trauma (both complex and single event), and have trained in EMDR, Somatic Trauma Therapy and the Rewind Technique.
I am a BACP Registered and NCS Accredited counsellor working from premises in Filton, Bristol and Worle, Weston-super-Mare. I offer short-term counselling and longer term therapy to men and women aged 18 and over. Whether your difficulties are long-standing or you feel you could just do with some support to get through a difficult time, it is likely I can help.
My role as a counsellor is to provide you with a confidential, non-judgmental space in which you can come to understand yourself and your feelings more deeply, and in which new perspectives and new possibilities for change can emerge. I won't give advice, but will facilitate your self-exploration, change and growth. You won’t ever be told what to do or be pressurised into making changes you don’t want to make, but you will be challenged to consider new and more empowering ways of thinking and behaving, which can lead to constructive changes and/or a greater acceptance of how things are.

Member organisations
Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
