Welcome to Bristol Therapy Hub
I’m Kathryn, a psychotherapist offering mindfulness-based, relational counselling and psychotherapy in Bristol, working from comfortable therapy rooms in Harbourside, Southville and Clifton Village, as well as online.
Reaching out for help takes real courage. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or disconnected from yourself, therapy can provide a grounded space to understand what’s happening inside you and move toward meaningful change.
I offer a warm and supportive environment where you can explore your experiences at your own pace, develop self-awareness, and begin to feel more at home in yourself.
My Approach
My work is rooted in a trauma-informed, relational and embodied approach, integrating mindfulness, gentle body awareness and talking therapy. Together we will pay attention to your thoughts, emotions, physical sensations and patterns of relating — helping you understand what shapes your inner world and how you can move toward greater ease.
Therapy with me can help you to:
-
Feel more confident asking for your needs to be met
-
Establish healthy boundaries and comfortably say no
-
Reduce anxiety in social or relational situations
-
Cultivate self-esteem and release cycles of shame and guilt
-
Understand the origins of your anxiety, stress or low mood
-
Recognise patterns of self-sabotage
-
Let go of coping strategies that no longer serve you
-
Build a deeper sense of meaning and connection in your life
Issues I Work With
I specialise in supporting people who carry unresolved childhood experiences, trauma or attachment wounds, and I work with a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties, including:
-
Anxiety, stress and panic attacks
-
Low self-esteem and self-criticism
-
Relationship issues and attachment patterns
-
Anger, frustration or emotional overwhelm
-
Somatic symptoms and mind-body distress
-
Depression and feelings of numbness or disconnection
-
Shame, guilt and longstanding emotional pain
-
Life transitions, redundancy or relocation
-
Grief, loss and bereavement
-
Trauma and PTSD related to past experiences, including abusive or controlling relationships
You may relate to one or several of these experiences — or simply have a sense that something in your life doesn’t feel right. Therapy can help you make sense of what you’re feeling and move toward change.
Who Comes to Therapy
People seek psychotherapy & counselling for many reasons. You may be:
-
Feeling overwhelmed by stress or anxiety
-
Struggling after a relationship breakup
-
Carrying old patterns from childhood that affect adult relationships
-
Wanting to feel more grounded, confident or connected
-
Seeking support around identity, creativity or purpose
-
Exploring who you are and how you want to live
You don’t need to have a specific “problem” to start therapy — many people come simply because they want support navigating the challenges of being human.

About Psychotherapy & Counselling: Empowering Personal Growth and Healing
Psychotherapy and counselling provide an opportunity to talk to someone in confidence. I work from a psychodynamic perspective, based on the principle that problems and distress in the present may be related to early experiences. Whether your problems are identifiable, or elusive and confusing, therapy can help you deal with emotions that are difficult to understand, giving you fresh insight into your life and work in order to find the best way forward.
