Ana Szopa, Counsellor in Bristol ,

As a counsellor in the final stages of my Level 6 professional training, I am offering low-cost counselling for adults in the centre of Bristol.

My approach is warm, empathic and collaborative. My aim is to create a holding environment in which you can safely explore whatever you choose to bring.

I am trained in a Humanistic Integrative modality. This means that I am led by you with regards to the topics we discuss and the pace at which we work. I endeavour to empower, give you agency and am able to integrate different therapeutic theories and approaches to best suit you as an individual.

Whether you would like to process a particular event, explore difficult feelings, or delve deeper into your psychology and increase your self-awareness, all of you is welcome in the therapy room. My work is informed by my yoga practice which has taught me that our emotional experiences are often stored in the body and shown me how movement can support us to process these.

Before training to be a counsellor, I worked in the refugee sector for over a decade in various client-facing roles. I also have 3+ years’ experience of working with young people at an intersectional therapy centre with a focus on trauma and attachment, and with adults with substance misuse concerns.

I charge £30 per session. Please get in touch to find out more or to arrange an initial appointment. I look forward to hearing from you.
