Bristol CBT & Psychotherapy
Bristol CBT & Psychotherapy offers Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy and EMDR to individuals of adult and adolescent age.
We strongly believe in the CBT principle of collaboration between therapist and client. Together we will establish goals which are meaningful to you, ensuring you get the most out of therapy and move forwards in life. We offer a friendly and down to earth approach along with a safe and supportive environment, enabling you to explore your difficulties at your own pace. Effective therapy relies upon developing an individualised treatment based on a psychological formulation of your difficulties and life experiences. The core principle to my approach is being person-centred. We believe it is important you receive the right therapy for you which means the first aim will be an assessment, from which a shared understanding of the problem(s) will inform the next steps in treatment.
