Milla Kenny Counselling (BA Hons), Registered Member Of BACP

About me

I am a qualified and experienced counsellor, working in private practice in Southville Bristol and Keynsham. My therapeutic focus is on helping adults being challenged by anxiety, relationship issues, depression, bereavement, loss or grief. The aim of our sessions is to help you have a better understanding of yourself, which in turn will help you deal with the feelings that are encroaching on your current life.

Therapy is a joint enterprise. I see the role of the counsellor as that of a confidential and compassionate collaborator, supporting you towards solutions that are not imposed by me, but come from within you.

Integrative-Relational Counselling
As an integrative counsellor I use a number of approaches depending on what seems appropriate for you and your particular issues. I work from what’s known as a relational approach. This means I draw on the dynamics which happen within the therapeutic relationship between you as a client, and me as a therapist, as a means to better understanding the relationships in your life. By understanding more about yourself, and increasing your self-awareness within a supportive and confidential therapeutic relationship, you may gain fresh insights into your life and patterns of behaviour. This will offer you the opportunity to see your concerns in a different light, and perhaps reveal to you new ways of coping.

Experience
My experience includes working with adults with a broad diversity of ages and backgrounds in the NHS sector and in private practice. I have worked with a range of issues, from low self-esteem, early traumas, panic attacks, career-related stress and relationship difficulties to anxiety, parental issues and suicidal thoughts.

I have worked with many senior clients facing retirement, loneliness and ageism.
I have experience in bereavement and loss and can help with what can be a very difficult time in your life.

Sessions
I offer one-to-one short and long term counselling sessions, and I have day, evening and weekend appointments available.

I see clients at Southville Clinic in Southville on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 4.30pm to 8.30pm and on Saturdays as arranged with clients.

I also see clients in my own home in Keynsham BS31, from Monday to Saturday between 8am and 8.30pm.

What will happen at my first appointment?
At your first appointment with me l will ask you a few questions, discuss some of the events that have brought you to therapy and look at how my services might be able to help. You will have an opportunity to ask any questions you have about counselling. In many ways, your first appointment will be straight-forward: I collect some information from you and help you determine your best options for going forward.

At the end of this initial consultation, you will be able to decide whether you would like to continue with further appointments.
