About me
Hello, I’m Bryony. I offer a warm, supportive space for you to explore things that are troubling you or holding you back. Life's challenges can leave us feeling overwhelmed and stuck. Simply "trying harder" often increases the pressure on us and our relationships, leading to self-defeating ways of coping.
Counselling helps to release the stress, gain clarity about what is realistic to expect from ourselves and others, and break free from patterns that no longer serve us. By developing greater personal insight and perspective, we can create a more confident, resilient, and fulfilling life.
My approach is ‘Integrative’, meaning I combine different theories guided by what feels most helpful to you. I incorporate strategies from CBT to explore unhelpful thought patterns and ways to change limiting behaviours. I draw on psychoanalytic insights to uncover where these patterns may have originated, allowing us to gently challenge them together. The heart of my approach is a Person-Centred, which prioritises your experience and internal wisdom - my role is to empower you.
I work with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, low mood, living with neurodivergence (ADHD, ASC, dyslexia), as well as bereavement, pregnancy loss and infertility.
I have broad experience, having worked within a secondary school, a hospice and the mental health charity, MIND. I also have lived experience of how counselling can help with ADHD, including late-diagnosis and working with neurodivergent young people.
I am an Accredited member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. I have a Diploma in Integrative Therapeutic Counselling (CPCAB) and am currently studying for a Post graduate Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling (CPCAB).
Counselling is a collaborative process, so it's important to find someone you can connect with. I offer a free, no obligation, introductory call for you to ask any questions you may have and get a feel of what it would be like to work together.
