Bridge Foundation
About us
We are a not for profit organisation and charity offering psychotherapy and counselling for families, young people, children, adults and couples. We charge a fee of £62 - £82 for our self-referral counselling services but we also provide free services for children in schools and via social services. Established in 1984 and Bristol based, we have a strong commitment to providing accessible, high quality clinical services to a wide range of people.
We are now working remotely via Zoom or telephone and are currently taking new referrals.

All counsellors and psychotherapists at The Bridge Foundation are qualified and experienced professionals. All receive regular supervision and work to a professional code of ethics such as British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, British Psychoanalytic Council, United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy and Association of Child Psychotherapists.
