Psychodynamic Counsellor & Psychotherapist: Hermione Homer

Hermione Homer March 2026

I am a qualified psychodynamic therapist based in Bristol.

My practice offers a thoughtful, focused, and confidential environment in which to begin to explore whatever may be on your mind. Some of the issues I have worked with includeHermione Homer March 2026 depression, post-natal depression, numbness and disconnection, anxiety, issues around sexuality, processing difficult or traumatic events, grief and loss, relationships struggles, processing change or choices, and family conflict.

I have seen clients from all kinds of backgrounds, cultures, sexual orientations, ethnicities, genders and beliefs, and work respectfully and non-judgementally.

Psychodynamic therapy is derived from psychoanalysis and works with the unconscious mind. It hopes to bring about the deeper understanding of one’s feelings, thoughts, and actions through the exploration of the aspects of oneself that are often the most difficult to speak of. Over time we will think together about how present life links with past experiences and events, and we will consider the unfolding therapeutic relationship, as the dynamics between therapist and client may reflect patterns of relating in early life.

I offer a safe and held space to be curious about the many parts of oneself.

Sessions are £65, in person, and are at the same time and day each week.

I offer both time-limited (usually of up to 24 sessions) and open-ended therapy,

Psychodynamic Counsellor: Tanya Green

Tanya-Green-February-2026

I offer psychodynamic counselling at The Harbourside Practice in Bristol, and I am also a trainee psychodynamic psychotherapist. My way of working is thoughtful, collaborative and rooted in the belief that meaningful change comes from being deeply understood over time.Tanya-Green-February-2026

Psychodynamic therapy focuses on how past experiences, relationships and unconscious patterns can shape how we feel and relate in the present. In our work together, I aim to create a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can speak freely and at your own pace. I’m attentive to what is said and also to what may be harder to put into words, helping us gently explore recurring difficulties, emotional blocks or patterns that may be causing distress.

People often come to therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure why certain problems keep repeating. I work with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, identity questions and a general sense that something doesn’t feel right. I value curiosity, honesty and compassion in the therapeutic relationship, and I see therapy as a shared process rather than something done to you.

As a trainee psychodynamic psychotherapist, I bring a high level of commitment, reflection and care to my work, supported by ongoing training and supervision. I welcome clients from all backgrounds and aim to offer a space where you can feel met as a whole person, not just a set of symptoms. I offer both short term and open-ended therapy.

I am a registered member of the BPC (British Psychoanalytic Council) and the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).

Counsellor and Trainee Psychotherapist: Helen Lister

Helen Lister 17 September 2025

Hi, I’m Helen (she/they).

I am a qualified counsellor offering sessions to both individuals and those in
relationships, such as partners or relatives. Weekly therapy can offer you
support with a specific challenge you may be facing in life, such as a
bereavement or relationship challenges, or it can support you more generally
to better understand yourself, others and the world we live in. We will build a
supportive relationship together that allows you to do this at a pace that feels
right for you.
Helen Lister 17 September 2025

I welcome the opportunity to work with clients of all genders, sexualities and cultural backgrounds. We are all affected by the cultures and political systems that surround us and therapy can be a space to unpack this. I am part of the LGBTQIAP+ community, and have previously worked as a therapist in specialist charity settings exploring gender identity, sexuality and relationship diversity.

I also have several years’ experience working with adults of all genders in sexual violence services.

Some of the other key themes I have worked with include, but are not limited
to:

  • Family relationships
  • Grief / Loss
  • Childhood trauma

I offer in-person sessions in central Bristol or online. We can work together for
a fixed amount of time or open-ended, which means you decide to finish when
it feels right for you.

If you are interested in finding out more, I invite you to book a reduced-cost
initial consultation appointment (£27.50/50m). The initial consultation is an
opportunity for me to learn more about what has brought you to therapy, and

Gestalt Therapist: Edda Johnson

EDDA-NEW-PHOTO August 2023

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.

Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy: Doug Teeling

About me

I believe firmly that in offering a compassionate, non-judgmental and safe environment each client can learn to trust their own experience and feelings. Beginning to talk about yourself and what you are dealing with may feel new or even unnerving, so I am always mindful to work with you at your own pace.

In the process of therapy many different issues may come up for you. There is no pressure to work to a schedule or through any set list. In talking together we have an opportunity to explore, reflect upon and understand more fully how and why you feel the way you do.

Whether you have been through something traumatic in the past or recently experienced some crisis in your life, or perhaps are dealing with a more prolonged sense of disillusionment with life, the space provided by therapy allows us to work through these issues together.

I have a particular interest in how early relationships shape our experiences later in life. Whilst I work in an integrative way and draw upon many theories, I find psychodynamic and relational approaches in particular offer great insight into how our past can live on in the present. I also pursue research exploring how the changing environment affects our psychological well-being.

In a time of accelerating climate change I believe it is essential to keep in mind the impact of the wider social, political and environmental challenges we are all necessarily affected by. Whilst we may not discuss this explicitly in sessions, I believe these issues will always be a part of how we find ourselves situated in life at any given time.

If you would like to meet for an initial session then please do get in touch.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am an accredited psychotherapist with UKCP having completed an MA in Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy at BCPC (Bath Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling). This course involves an intensive and in-depth approach to study over many years.

Alongside my private practice which has been running since 2013, I have also worked for the SWAN project in Bristol, one of the few places in the Bath and Bristol area which offers the opportunity for longer term low cost therapy.

My professional background is in mental health, having worked for nearly a decade supporting individuals dealing with enduring mental health issues. My previous training includes a Foundation Certificate in Counselling and Psychotherapy at BCPC, a Certificate in Counselling Skills at Bath College, as well as a degree in Psychology and Study of Religions at Bath Spa University.

Counsellor and Psychotherapist: Alex Moate

Alex Moat 10 May (second version)

Alex Moate is an experienced Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist, who is accredited with the BACP.Alex Moat 10 May (second version)

Counselling can provide you with much needed clarity when life seems full up, with no room left to think. I provide a non-judgemental, safe and confidential space to explore issues that you are facing, to look more closely at the impact that these are having in your life and to begin to gain new perspectives. As an integrative practitioner I am able to work flexibly with you, with my work being informed by different approaches including Gestalt, Person-centred, Psychodynamic and CBT. This means that I am able to work in a way that will best suit your individual needs.

Issues I work with include lack of self-confidence, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, bereavement and loss, sexuality, gender and identity issues and traumatic events.

If you are having problems with low mood, social anxiety, worry, OCD or more generalised anxiety I also have specialist knowledge in working with adults and young people using low-intensity CBT. This can provide you, or your child, with the skills to challenge more negative ways of thinking and move forward with your goals.

Experience

I have worked within the NHS counselling members of staff, as a Counsellor and Low-intensity CBT therapist at Off the Record and most recently as a Counsellor at a Sixth Form College in Bristol. I have also worked in private practice for over 8 years as a Life Coach with adults and young people.

I received my Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of South Wales and also have a Post Graduate Certificate in Psychological Therapies Practice for Children, Young People and Families from the University of Exeter. I am a registered member of the BACP and adhere to their code of conduct.

Fees

Sessions last for 50 minutes and cost £60. I also offer an initial consultation at a reduced cost of £40, which is a great time to see if counselling is for you and whether I work in a style that suits you
