Welcome
Hi, I’m Imogen – a qualified integrative counsellor offering safe, supportive counselling sessions in Bristol and online.
Have a look around to learn more about how I work, and if you’d like a chat to see if we could work well together, please get in touch for a free consultation. I’d be happy to answer any questions and see how I can support you
Why Counselling?
I'm a firm believer that we aren't meant to face life's challenges alone. Many people struggle in silence feeling they should be able to cope by themselves while fears, sadness, anger, anxiety, or feelings of not belonging remain unspoken. When carried for long enough, these experiences can have a significant impact on our wellbeing and quality of life.
Counselling provides a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly about whatever is troubling you. Together, we can explore your experiences, increase self-awareness, build self-worth, and help you reconnect with who you are.
I believe that a genuine, trusting relationship is at the heart of counselling. When you feel safe, understood, and accepted, it becomes easier to explore your experiences, build confidence in yourself, and create lasting positive change.
About Me
My journey to becoming a counsellor began in my teenage years, when I faced my own mental health challenges along with struggles with dyslexia.
Receiving counselling at that time was truly a lifeline for me – it showed me the power of being heard, accepted and supported without judgment. This set me on a path to become a mental health nurse, working with people suffering from depression, anxiety, psychosis, OCD and other mental health challenges. I went on to specialise in supporting people with eating disorders and their families.
In 2015, I set up a charity that supports refugees and asylum seekers. Through this I have deepened my understanding of trauma and working in a trauma informed way, providing an environment where people feel safe, valued and motivated.
As a mum to 3, I have an appreciation of life’s complexities as a parent. This has also strengthened my knowledge of neurodiversity, particularly the challenges of ADHD.
All these experiences have taught me that every person’s journey is unique. I work without judgment, believing that a deep, trusting therapeutic relationship can be a powerful foundation for change, healing and personal growth.
"Imogen has got me looking at things in a completely different way than any other therapist ever has. I can now see how my eating is linked to my emotions and past experiences, which has been such a huge breakthrough for me. She gently challenges me in ways that really make me think and grow, but always in a kind and supportive way. I finally feel like I’m starting to understand myself and make real changes, thanks to her."
Who i work with and areas of experince
I work with adults and young people (17yrs and over) of all genders and have experience supporting people from a wide range of backgrounds, cultures, religions, and life experiences. I have worked with clients experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, low self-esteem, relationship and parenting difficulties, eating disorders, identity concerns, childhood trauma and abuse, and a range of neurodivergent experiences, including ADHD and dyslexia. I also recognise the impact that cultural expectations, societal pressures, world events, and the demands of everyday life can have on our wellbeing.
My Approach
Qualifications
Qualifications
Integrative therapy is a blended approach to counselling that brings together techniques from different therapeutic models to best support you as a whole person. It’s like having a toolbox to draw from, rather than following one single method.
My work is person-centered, meaning our sessions evolve as you do, allowing us to explore your thoughts, emotions, patterns and behaviours, in a space where you feel safe to be yourself and move at your own pace.
I draw from a range of therapies Including person-centred, Transactional Analysis (TA), Gestalt and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to support your unique needs, personality and situation.
