Lucy Atherton
Gestalt counsellorAbout Me
I am a Gestalt counsellor based in Bristol and I am currently offering in-person and online sessions. I believe in the capacity for individuals to grow, change, and develop greater self-awareness through the therapeutic process.
I offer a safe, calm and confidential space for you to explore what has brought you to counselling. I will invite you to be curious about yourself in sessions, to explore how you relate to others and how you respond in the life situations you find yourself in.
The practice of Gestalt means that there will be a focus on exploring your experience as it unfolds moment by moment in the session. This may include exploring current life situations as well as past experiences. My aim is to create a safe environment for you to speak and be heard; to help raise awareness of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and how they impact your relationship to yourself and others day to day. I believe that by gaining new insights into how you think and feel, you will develop a stronger sense of yourself and live your life in a more fulfilling way.
I have experience of working with clients with a variety of issues, including complex family dynamics, stress, long term health issues, anxiety and depression. I have a focus on working with people who are recently bereaved or experiencing a life changing loss.
