Joss Lloyd
Gestalt Psychotherapeutic Counsellor in Bristol, Bath and Dursley
Welcome
I offer relational Gestalt therapy in Bristol, Bath, Dursley and online. Gestalt is a humanistic therapy based in a warm, confidential and genuine relationship between therapist and client. I work sensitively and in a trauma-informed way with your here-and-now embodied experience to help you move through stuckness towards greater awareness and a sense of support. Areas I have experience in include anxiety, depression, low-mood, intrusive thoughts and memories, shame, family and relationship difficulties. Whatever brings you to therapy, I aim to support you to reconnect with your own natural process of growth and change.
People seek therapy for many reasons. Commonly, my clients have a sense that what they are carrying, their unique experience, will not or cannot be understood by those around them. For some a big or unexpected life change has impacted their sense of stability. For others the motive is to explore traumas from the past that still live with them in the present. Many clients value having a confidential space to share what's troubling them without fear of judgment.
I usually see clients on a weekly basis. The length of therapy depends on the issues you want to explore - many clients find the container of long-term work to be supportive however I also offer time-limited or short-term work.
I know that taking the step of reaching out for support can feel daunting. I offer an initial reduced-price exploratory session, either in-person or online, in which you can get a sense of how I work and we can both assess whether therapy with me is right for you at this time
Is therapy right for me?
