Email meAbout me
NEW APPOINTMENTS NOW AVAILABLE IN EAST AND CENTRAL BRISTOL.
My name is Tanya Ratcliff, I'm a registered MBACP counsellor based in Central Bristol, at various locations near Cheltenham Road, BS6 and in East Bristol, Sycamore House, Kingswood Estate, BS15 near Hanham. I have been offering counselling support since 2011 within the mental health and substance misuse sector.
If you're considering Counselling, you're probably experiencing some emotional challenges. Perhaps you’re feeling stuck or your struggling with loss, relationships and uncertainty. Battling feelings of depression, worthlessness, anxiety, or stress, you may even be experiencing a variety of physical symptoms.
I offer confidential private one to one counselling with adults of all ages on a variety of issues and have highly specialist knowledge and experience within:
- Alcohol/gambling addiction
- Anxiety
- Bereavement grief and loss
- Depression and low mood
- Feeling stuck - patterns of thinking and behaviours
- Low self-confidence, self-esteem, belief
- Life changes
- Relationships
- Stress and burnout
I don’t believe there is a ‘one size fits all’ solution to counselling, everyone is unique, and our bespoke one to one sessions of counselling will reflect this.
