I offer in-person sessions on Tuesday evenings in Old Market and on Thursday evenings in Clifton. I also offer online/phone sessions throughout the week. 

I’m Vivienne, a Bristol based therapist (in Old Market and Clifton) who also works online. I have a friendly, gentle and conscientious approach. I understand that it can be difficult to speak about very personal thoughts and feelings and I create a space that feels safe to do this. A space where you will not feel judged and are able to be yourself. To me, it is important to have this kind of safety to help us work through what might be going on for you.

You might be clear about what you want to talk about, or you might not be too sure what the issue is, just that something doesn’t feel quite right. I have experience of working with people who have come from either angle, as well as somewhere in between.

As a queer woman with a mixed heritage background, I work in a way that looks at how the different identities you might hold can impact you. My preferred pronouns are she/her.

I have worked as a counsellor at Bristol Mind and East London Out Project working with queer and queer questioning clients. And I have spent over 8 years working in the charity sector, which includes 5 years working as a Case Worker helping people impacted by crime. 

I am an integrative counsellor. This means I combine different types of therapy according to what you want from your sessions. My training is in person-centred, psychodynamic and gestalt therapy.

You can find out more about these different approaches here:

Psychodynamic: /about-therapy/types-of-therapy/psychodynamic-therapy/

Gestalt: /about-therapy/types-of-therapy/gestalt/

I offer a free 15 minute online or telephone consultation. This will help you to decide if I'm the right therapist for you. If you decide that I am the right person for you, we will meet on the same day and at the same time, for weekly 50 minute counselling sessions.
