About me
Hi, I’m Steve, a BACP-registered Gestalt therapist based in central Bristol. I work face-to-face near Park Street where I offer weekly 1hr sessions for £55/hr. I provide a confidential and supportive space in which we can explore any problems and challenges you may be facing in your day-to-day life.
There may be specific areas of your life which you’re finding difficult, such as: relationships, confidence, family, work, stress, depression, anxiety, or meaning/spirituality. Or you may be coming to therapy without a clear goal, but with a sense that something needs to change.
Where are you stuck? What’s holding you back from living the life you want to be living?
One key insight of Gestalt therapy is that fixed patterns in our lives often start to shift and change once they are noticed and paid attention to. Awareness supports growth and can help us let go of behavioural patterns that no longer work for us.
If you'd like to hear more about the Gestalt approach, and about how I work, you will find more information on my website (linked above).
Training, qualifications & experience
I have completed a 4 year training course in Gestalt Psychotherapy at Gestalt Centre Wales. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
