Thank you for taking a look at my profile.  I appreciate it can be difficult to find a counsellor who feels best suited to your needs, so in addition to the information below, I offer a free 15 min phone call where you can find out more and see whether we might be a good fit.  Just drop me a line at counselling@tillyline.co.uk or contact me via my website www.tillyline.co.uk.

I’m a psychotherapeutic counsellor who can provide support relating to a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, grief, and low self-esteem.  I specialise in relationship and work-related concerns and have experience of working with the following:

• Sexuality and relationship preferences (I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and welcome all forms of relationship).
• Experiences of discrimination, internalised homophobia and shame.
• Experiences of betrayal.
• Feelings around commitment, including having children, living with others, or marriage/a civil partnership.
• Relationship conflict with family members or friends.
• Deciding whether to stay or end a romantic relationship.
• Incidents of trauma in the workplace, via bullying, harassment, discrimination, or being made redundant.
• Emotional and physical symptoms of burn-out.
• Exploring work-related values and goals and how these relate to other areas such as health, family, and leisure.

As an integrative counsellor, I can draw on a range of psychotherapeutic theories and tools to help you explore your feelings, relationships, and choices, in a way that best supports your individual needs:

Relational Psychotherapy: Relationships are fundamental to our well-being.  To help you explore your relationships, I draw on Psychodynamic and Gestalt therapies.  Both approaches focus on exploring the roots of our feelings and behaviours towards others and ourselves.

Narrative Therapy: We are the experts on our own lives, yet we are all affected by the people and external environments in which we live.  Therefore, the stories we develop about ourselves, and carry with us, are not about us alone.  This empowering approach provides opportunities for re-authoring your stories, if you wish to.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): When we’re struggling with difficult thoughts and feelings, ACT can provide ways to build our ‘Psychological Flexibility’ and ways of coping.  In doing so, we can live more mindfully, gain an understanding of personal values, and experience a greater sense of fulfilment.

Together these approaches also provide room for creativity in our work, such as drawing and writing, if this feels helpful.  I provide materials in the therapy room for you to use as you wish.

Fees: Sessions are £55

About me and my therapy practice

Therapy for adults of all ages with a focus on strengthening self-confidence and self-esteem, developing healthy and positive habits and behaviours, while addressing struggles such as anxiety, depression, burnout, ADHD, surviving abuse, self-harm, relationship and family issues, loss and grief.

I am a qualified counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP).

I offer online therapy (via video calls) and in-person sessions in Bristol and in Frome. Every Tuesday, I have availability for in-person sessions in Bristol (Redcliffe area). Depending on circumstances, I also offer telephone sessions.

I offer a safe therapeutic space for LGBTQ+ people and aim to support inclusion and diversity around gender, biological sex diversity and sexuality.

Furthermore, I have experience in supporting clients as they learn how to manage ADHD (pre or post diagnosis) and the feelings that result from it.

I am trained in an integrative way, applying theory and practice from the Client-Centred Model and integrating other humanistic therapies (Existential, Gestalt, Psychosynthesis) and Psychodynamic therapy. Furthermore, I have comprehensive knowledge and experience with Bereavement, Loss and Grief through the work I have done with the UK largest bereavement charity – Cruse Bereavement Support.

Working with a variety of struggles that follow loss and grief, I turned my attention to other therapeutic models and specialisms – Attachment Theory, Trauma-Informed Care, Transactional Analysis, Internal Family Systems. To support long-lasting results in therapy for my clients, I use elements of Mindfulness and Meditation, with attention to integrating breathing and body-based techniques in the therapeutic process.

I offer counselling in three languages: English, Spanish and Romanian.

I am a qualified Psychotherapeutic Counsellor with a specific interest in adult ADHD and practise using an integrative, relational approach to therapy:

• Integrative in that I’m not limited to working within one therapeutic approach or ‘style of counselling’. I’m able to flexibly draw from different approaches, primarily person-centred, gestalt and psychodynamic (here is an explanation of what these mean).

• Relational as I recognise most difficulties we experience come from our relationships with others, and it is the relationship between client and therapist that underpins effective therapeutic work.

Who I work with

 

I am experienced working with men and women on a broad range of issues.

I have a special interest in working with neurodiversity, particularly adult awareness / late diagnosis of ADHD, its emotional impact and effect on past and present behaviour and relationships.

I also work with men’s issues, for example expectations/roles/identity, parenting, emotional awareness, expression and safety, and interpersonal and intimate relationships. In my experience, doing this work with another man can be especially meaningful.

What you can expect from working with me:

I work with kindness and compassion to provide a safe and non-judgmental space for you to be heard, understood and to get what you need from our work together. We will work collaboratively and I’ll be an engaged, active participant in helping you work towards your therapeutic goals: I won’t just sit there nodding or reflecting back what you say to me. I am with you but will also challenge you and encourage you to take reasonable risks, when appropriate.

I don’t have all the answers and I’m not the expert on you – I firmly believe that you are. But going it alone is tough and by working together, we stand a much better chance at finding the right words for you to understand yourself, your experiences and your relationships.

The relationship between client and therapist is unique, one that isn’t experienced anywhere else, and one where you are at its centre. I am separate from your social circles and family, and won’t judge, give my opinion or advise you on what to do. Together we can create a space that is focused on you and what you need. Given how crucial the relationship is between client and therapist, it is important you feel we are a good fit.

Taking the first step towards counselling can feel hard, and it’s important to check we’re a good fit. I offer a free 25-minute phone/video call so we can have an initial chat, you can decide if you want to book a first appointment from there. If we go ahead, we will check in regularly to see how things are going between us, and if you’re getting what you need from our work together.

Sessions are charged at £60 per 50 minutes or £65 for 60 minutes.

I work face to face from the Harbourside Practice Rooms on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings (09.00-13.00).

I work online on Thursdays and Fridays with some availability on Wed evenings.

Please get in touch if you’d like to talk about working together, or if you have any questions: adamtherapybristol@gmail.com.

Hello, I’m Sarah Mortimer, a Clinical Hypnotherapist with 15 years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety.

Whilst I specialise in these areas, I also work with management of chronic health conditions including pain, sleep issues, and burnout.

I use evidence-based techniques such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and I am trained in different approaches to hypnosis.

I have a thirst for knowledge and regularly attend courses to improve my practice, including studying towards a Psychology degree at the Open University. In addition to client work, I also supervise other hypnotherapists, organise the UK Hypnosis Convention, and I’m a Classroom Assistant at a Hypnotherapy College.

To book your initial consultation to discuss how Hypnotherapy can help you.

call 07851 307 062 or

email info@bristolhypnotherapy.co.uk

More details on the issues I work with can be found on my website at www.bristolhypnotherapy.co.uk

I provide psychological therapy and specialise in supporting people facing emotional challenges. These might relate to specific life circumstances you are facing, a diagnosis you have received, or a persistent issue you find difficult to understand or shift. Perhaps you are experiencing difficulties in your relationships with others, or how you relate to yourself. Maybe you find it hard to deal with work stress, constant worrying or fear and panic. You may be struggling to sleep or look after yourself, and see your sense of wellbeing and purpose impacted. You want to get to a place of greater clarity and resilience.

I will listen to you without judgment and try to understand your experience from your perspective. I will share my observations and insights with you, and if appropriate, teach you skills to help you cope better. At all times I will work with you to find what is most effective for you, acknowledging that this will be different for everyone.

Having worked with people of all ages and backgrounds, with different experiences and concerns, I have seen time and time again the potential for people to feel better even when they believed, or were told, that they would not.

Training, qualifications & experience

As a chartered counselling psychologist, I specialise in supporting people of all ages toward better mental health. I did my doctoral training at City, University of London, and also hold degrees from the Universities of Oxford and Bristol. I am BPS accredited and HCPC registered (PYL37674) and abide by their ethical guidelines.

I currently teach psychology at doctoral level  and have trained corporations, institutions and government bodies on applying psychological theory within their workplaces. This requires me to continuously engage with latest psychology research which in turn informs my clinical practice.

I have expertise working with both symptom reduction as well as helping clients to understand why they might be feeling as they are. I recognise the importance for clients to be able to function day to day and can support them to make changes towards this goal. Many of my clients have lived with difficulties for years and find it helpful to have a safe, confidential space in which to talk with a professional, often for the first time.

Gaining greater understanding of why we feel and act how we do can give more choice as to how we wish to live our lives. To this end, my practice is informed by a wide range of approaches which I draw on flexibly to meet each client’s need and preference. I consult regularly with an expert clinical supervisor and seek specialist training to ensure I am offering best practice.

Please contact me for more information at dr.cflothmann@gmail.com

Need to talk?

People come to counselling for all sorts of reasons. I offer a safe and non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions and the challenges you are going through.

Using an integrative approach, I provide relational counselling tailored to your needs. I believe that connection is an important part of what makes counselling work; together, we can build a therapeutic relationship where you can feel safe, supported and understood.

Working collaboratively, I will help you to find acceptance, to grow and to develop more self-compassion. I will help you to work through past and present difficulties, gaining new awareness and perspective.

I have experience working with anxiety, anger, self-esteem, relationships, abuse, trauma, guilt and shame. Specialising in work with LGBTQ+ clients, I have experience in a wide range of issues around gender and sexual relationship diversity, including:

• coming out;
• internalised homophobia;
• being a gay parent;
• experience of discrimination and microaggressions;
• gender identity and expression;
• intersections of spirituality and sexuality;
• and being ‘othered’.

Whilst these issues may or may not be the focus of our work together, I aim to provide a space where clients can consider how these aspects of identity affect their lives, their self-concept and their expectations of the world around them.

Finding the right counsellor can be daunting – but if you’re finding life hard and struggling with your feelings, then talking to me could help.

Qualifications

Masters in Counselling and Psychotherapy, University of the West of England
Level 4 Counselling Certificate, University of the West of England

Professional registration

I am a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and abide by their ethical framework for good practice.

Sessions

I offer sessions online and face-to-face. Sessions cost £50 and last for 50-55 minutes.

I offer face-to-face sessions on Wednesday evenings and Friday afternoons. I offer online sessions on Mondays. Please get in touch for availability.

Initial meetings

Taking the first step into counselling can feel difficult; understandably, people sometimes feel nervous about the first session. You’re meeting a new person, in a new context, with the prospect of sharing personal, vulnerable things which you may not have told anyone before. Nerves are perfectly normal and we can work with that feeling. I am experienced in putting people at ease.

I offer clients a free initial meeting. This gives us an opportunity to decide whether we could work together. By coming to your initial meeting, you’re not signing up for anything and you’re not tied in to a certain number of sessions.

In the initial meeting, I won’t ask you to go too deep or share anything too vulnerable. It will be a chance for me to gather some information from you, after which we can explore what’s brought you to counselling. We will discuss what you would like to get from counselling, and start to think about how we might move forward. If you choose to have counselling with me, I will continue to review our work together as we go, so it doesn’t all have to be decided in our first session.

Get in touch to arrange a free initial meeting.

Saturday appointments available

I offer my service as a BABCP Accredited CBT Therapist and BACP Accredited Psychotherapist and Counsellor.  I also practice as an EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) practitioner and Couple Counsellor.

In addition to my private practice, I work for the NHS, treating people with psychological difficulties such as depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), social anxiety and specific phobias.

I am an accredited member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy) and BABCP (British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies).

I am also a member of the EMDR Association UK & Ireland and an associate member of the British Emotionally Focused Therapy Community (BEFT).

Below is a summary of the approaches which underpin my practice, you may find these present in our therapy sessions together.

CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)

My CBT practice is based on psychological therapies that have proven to be effective in treating anxiety and depressive disorders.  This means that during therapy we will explore how your thinking patterns, affect how you feel emotionally and behave, whilst working towards alternative ways to enable you to enhance your mood.  The overall aim is to facilitate you in becoming your own therapist.  This is achieved in a warm and empathic manner where I provide a safe non-judgmental atmosphere.  I believe in the importance of the therapeutic relationship, taking the time to find the most helpful and effective way of working with you.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

I have clinical experience of using EMDR with complex problems.  EMDR is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of traumatic life experiences.  EMDR works directly on the brain where traumatic experiences are frozen and often inaccessible to the conscious mind. The ultimate aim of the treatment is to work through the suppressed distressful emotions linked with the traumatic experience and to dismantle and reconstruct the negative self-beliefs developed as a result of the traumatic experience.  In the case of a single trauma sustained in adulthood, there will be 1 or 2 assessment sessions, followed by 1 or 2 sessions discussing and preparing for EMDR treatment, followed by at least 2 or 3 treatment sessions.  The number of actual treatment sessions depends on the nature and number of distressing memories or complexity of the problem.

Couples Counselling

My work with couples focus on communication difficulties and intimacy issues within the relationship.  I provide a safe space where you can focus on your relationship and work together to find a way forward for yourselves.  With professional support, you can learn to communicate more clearly with each other, explore patterns in your relationship, shift blockages and try out new ways of being together.

My approach to couple counselling is focused on adult attachment and emotionally focused couple’s therapy (EFT).  EFT is a change process that facilitates movement from distress to recovery by transforming negative cycles of interaction into safe emotional connection between intimate partners.  Based on the science of emotions and attachment theory as well as humanistic and systemic theories, EFT has a high success rate in achieving secure, resilient relationships in couples and in helping people to flexibly manage their emotional experience

Since 2006 I have been studying, training, and practising in counselling psychology, through a bachelor’s degree in psychology, master’s degree in health psychology and Doctorate in Counselling Psychology.

During these years I also trained and practised in different settings from Charities to the NHS’s primary and secondary care mental health services, using different theoretical frameworks and techniques including relational psychodynamic, humanistic and CBT.

Using an integrative approach, I draw my intervention from relational psychodynamic, humanistic and CBT models, according to the clients’ presenting issues and goals. You might seek help for a variety of reasons, such as anxiety, low mood, bereavement, eating and body weight problems, relational issues, feeling stuck or overwhelmed by life change situations (the list is not exhaustive).

Sometimes it could be difficult to identify a specific reason for seeking support. It might be a struggle to find a sense of meaning or a way through emotional pain.

I can offer my skills and experience in a safe a confidential non-judgemental space where you can feel free to express your thoughts, and feelings.

We all experience difficulties in our life that can have a negative impact on our quality of life and our wellbeing. Recognising and talking about difficult experiences is an important step towards changes and/or recovery.

Throughout the therapeutic collaborative relationship, we can work together to explore and understand personal difficulties in relation to your unique individual experience, to alleviate distress and enable you to find the way to overcome your issues.

About me and my therapy practice

I have returned to face-to-face working; but also do work online sessions when that is more feasible.

I offer humanistic, psychodynamic based integrative therapy; informed by Gestalt practice and the relational approach, and embracing aspects of cognitive therapy working both in the short term, identifying specific problems or the longer term, which offers the chance, with support to make real changes.

What does this mean practically? Principally, it means creating a safe setting where someone can begin to explore their own experiences and begin to work out what they feel and what they trust. Daily life is often a compromise that doesn’t give the space to explore our deepest feelings and therefore change for the better is more often than not, painfully, on hold.

Areas include depression, anxiety, illness, illness recovery, low self-esteem, relationship patterns, parental issues, addictions, bereavement and questions of meaning & purpose.

Practice description

Therapeutic Counselling

Sometimes we need help in our journeys to find out who we really are; we need a different perspective from friends and family, someone who is impartial, someone who can let us breath, who won’t react to what we say, won’t talk over us, and offer what ‘they think’ responses. Someone who can offer us a ‘confidential space’ that we can use with confidence; in busy daily lives this often feels lacking.

Counselling and therapy can offer this space to re-evaluate what is happening, what one wants, who one is and is a chance to talk about things that perhaps no else has properly listened to. Talking to someone in this way can make a real difference when we may have become stuck, directionless, depressed or caught in negative relationships or situations that seem beyond our control. It can help us understand where we are and what we really feel, but more importantly can help us work out where we need to go. Someone impartial can offer this exploration, change and permission.

I completed training at the Bath Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling, a course accredited by both BACP & UKCP qualifying in humanistic and integrative counselling (DipHIC, distinction, BCPC). This follows a life-long interest in people, their motivations and their relationships. I have a first class degree in psychology (Bath 2001), an MLiTT in creative writing (Glasgow, 2011) and two decades of experience in mental health, both the charity sector e.g. Mind, & Changes, Bristol but also in the NHS, working on acute mental health wards, and for the last four years counselling in addictions in Bristol. On top of counselling I facilitate groups, and also run creative writing workshops.
