Sarah Bray, Psychotherapist in Bristol ,

Sarah Bray

I offer affordable psychotherapy in a calm and safe environment to help you feel comfortable to begin to talk about how you feel. Choosing a therapist can be difficult, it is important to me that you can take your time in the initial session to meet with me, ask questions and see how you feel afterwards, before you make a decision.

At times in our lives we all need someone to talk to when we are feeling at odds with ourselves or not quite right.

Psychotherapy can help you to begin to make sense of feelings that may result in depression, numbness and anxiety, arising from loss and bereavement, addiction, abuse, sucidal thoughts, eating disorders, family and relationship problems and isolation, or loss of self-worth. I can provide a space for you where together we can discuss yor feelings in a confidential and non-judgemental way, in a place where you feel safe to talk. 

I believe that psychotherapy is a unique experience for each person, in order for you to feel comfortable to talk you need to feel safe and trust in the process. The relationship between therapist and client is key for change to happen and I gently work with you to help build your confidence so you can begin to explore uncomfortable feelings that may be bothering you. I feel therapy should be affordable so that as many people as possible can access this caring service, and I am happy to work with you over a short or long term period.

I work from Orchard Street in town and from my home in Stapleton BS16. I offer sessions of 50 minutes from £40-45 and I offer a reduced rate for students. There is on street metered parking in Orchard street and free parking at my home address. 

I am back working face to face but I am happy to provide remote therapy via zoom and FaceTime too.
