Kurt Lampe, Psychotherapist in Bristol ,

I"m a UKCP-certified psychotherapist in training.  

Experience in private practice, the Harbour counselling charity, and in the NHS has prepared me to work with people suffering from a wide variety of challenges. In our sessions, we'll start from what brings you to therapy. I'll explain how I work and you'll be able to clarify what you need from therapy. We'll then work together to explore your feelings, thoughts, and memories in a way that seems safe. Sharing our innermost experiences can be scary or painful, but it can also be creative and even playful.  We may want to explore your dreams or use drawings. If you have a religious or spiritual side, that can also play a role. There are many pathways to healing – to feeling safer and better in ourselves and more able to enjoy relationships and life. 

Among the issues you might bring are 

• anxiety and panic attacks
• disturbing or suicidal thoughts
• trauma from childhood or later relationships
• problems with loss and grieving
• questions about gender and sexuality
• challenges related to sex and relationships
• overwhelming emotions and loss of control
• the feeling you do not know yourself or have lost yourself

and many others. If you have a diagnosis or take medication, that can also be part of our conversations. I have extensive experience liaising with NHS care teams. I also have experience working with neurodiversity.
