Integrative Counsellor: Georgina Seymour

I am an experienced Integrative Counsellor.

I provide a warm, supportive space to explore what is going on for you, understand your feelings and reactions, and most importantly, work towards your goals. This might be in adjusting unhelpful thought patterns, voicing what your needs are and exploring together how they can be better met in your relationships or using psychoeducation to better understand what is going on for you when your anxiety spikes.Georgina-Seymour-website-spring-2025-photo

What is Integrative Counselling? It is a model which draws from a range of therapeutic models and theories, this means that I am able to provide an individualised service.

I am primarily Person-centred, so the process and relationship are central to how I work. This means that I work to maintain a non-judgemental stance; I think that the practice of compassionate empathy is central to therapy and I see the work of therapy as a joint venture – it is not me ‘doing’ but us working together – you bring your own experience and expertise, as well me!

I also draw from CBT, Transactional Analysis and I find thinking about our systems and the people/society around us to be very useful. I find writing creatively and therapeutically useful personally and have seen many clients use it effectively between sessions and after our counselling work has come to an end. I may offer suggestions for writing or work between sessions as this can boost the effectiveness of the work.

I also offer Outdoor Therapy at Eastville Park which is a lovely green space 10 minutes from the city centre. There are lots of fabulous birds and trees there!

Integrative Counsellor: Clare Peat

About Me

Hi, I’m an integrative counsellor and a registered member of the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy).

I am a warm and compassionate person and believe that the therapeutic space can offer a powerful way to understand yourself, your experiences and your relationships. I offer long and short term counselling and as an integrative therapist, I work in a way that is tailored to your needs.

My experience

Clare Peat September 2024

I have been working to support people with their mental health for more than 10 years and have worked as a counsellor for the last 5 years. I have experience of working with people experiencing a range of challenges including anxiety, depression, low self esteem, PTSD, bereavement, sexual abuse, domestic abuse, relationship difficulties, parenting, autism, and ADHD.

I have worked as co-ordinator of a mental health helpline and as a counsellor for Bristol Mind, for Kinergy, a charity that supports survivors of sexual abuse, and for a charity that offers counselling for carers. I also have experience of working with university students.

How I work

My training is in humanistic integrative counselling and I draw on different theoretical approaches to find the most helpful way forward for you. The approaches that inform my work include: Person-centred counselling, Gestalt, transactional analysis and ACT therapy. I like to encourage the use of creativity in sessions where that feels helpful and have found that using a creative approach can help you gain new insights and a different perspective. I have recently completed further training in creative arts therapies and in creative writing for therapeutic purposes.

Whatever your reason for seeking counselling, I can offer a safe and confidential space where you can feel heard and make sense of what is happening in your life without the usual pressures and expectations. I am patient and sensitive to your needs and will help you explore whatever it is you are facing at your own pace.

Gestalt Therapist: Edda Johnson

About me

I am a Gestalt Psychotherapist, with full UKCP registration, offering affordable psychotherapy and counselling for individual adults on a short or long term basis.EDDA-NEW-PHOTO August 2023

I have undertaken a rigorous training at Welsh Psychotherapy Institute (WPI), over many years to provide me with a robust grounding to support clients facing a wide range of life challenges.

Gestalt means ‘whole’ and Gestalt Therapy is a dynamic approach that works with the whole person. As a relational therapist I pay attention to the relationship as it develops with a client, bringing awareness to what is happening in the present moment. This creates the potential for shifting patterns that are no longer helpful. I include bringing awareness to body sensations and experiences to support this work.

Experience

I have worked in the voluntary sector for over 30 years in a wide range of health and social care settings, including social housing, regeneration projects and for 11 years I managed a charity offering a wide range of bereavement services.

Fees

My fee is £45.00 for a 50 minute session, either face to face or on Zoom. I do have some concessionary rates available, please ask, so that finances don’t get in the way of you seeking the support you need.

First step

I offer a free 30 minute introductory session, via Zoom, to explore how we might work together and if we are a good fit. If you would like to contact me please email eddajohnsontherapy@gmail.com . I aim to respond to enquires within 24 hours.
