If you feel stuck in a state of mind, or overwhelmed by circumstances, it can be helpful to find support outside your usual network. I offer a calm and confidential space where you can speak and think freely. Without judgement I look to help restore inner balance through increased self-awareness. This can bring about new perspectives and new possibilities for you moving forward.

I work psychodynamically with adults dealing with depression, anxiety, abuse, trauma and loss.

I have several years' experience working within an agency and within the NHS.

I am a full member of the British Psychoanalytic Council.

My name is Frankie Pittwright, I am a Psychotherapist, Counsellor and Life Story Work Therapist. I have been supporting individuals and families for the last ten years and spent several years as a therapeutic foster carer before qualifying as a Psychotherapist.

I like to work creatively using drawing, clay, sand and other art forms. The client and their wishes are always at the heart of what I do. I am inspired by several different types of Psychotherapy and believe in the power of the relationship between therapist and client above all else.

I am a member of the BACP and work as a contractor for the local authority specialising in working with those who have been adopted or fostered and their families. I also see clients privately.

Melinda is a qualified UKCP Registered Psychotherapist, with an MA and Diploma in Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy. She has over 6 years of experience working with adults of all ages experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, relationship and parenting difficulties, low self-esteem, dissociation, historical childhood sexual abuse, bereavement and loss, self-harm and addiction.

She is passionate about finding ways to resolve developmental trauma and works in therapy with how we express those aspects of ourselves that have had to remain silent.

“I believe in the inherent ability for us to heal ourselves, through the trusting relationship we build together in therapy, no matter how deeply hurt or ignored we have been in the past.”

Melinda is approved through CCS Adoption/ the Centre to work with adopted adults and adoptive/foster parents, and can offer a reduced rate for the first 3 months of work with this group of clients.

She is also a qualified yoga teacher, with many years of experience working with, supporting and supervising individuals in charities and business. She worked for several years in Bristol managing a counselling helpline for people who self-harm.

I am a qualified NCPS registered, Psychotherapeutic Counsellor with over 7 years experience working with individual adults. I also offer sessions in BSL (British Sign Language) and SSE (Sign Supported English).

My counselling approach is integrative, blending various therapeutic methods to best suit the individual needs and goals of my clients. At the heart of my approach lies the belief in a Person-Centered therapeutic relationship and I seek to provide a warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental space where clients can feel safe to openly explore what is important to them.

I combine elements of CBT, Psychodynamics, Somatic Focussing, Mindfulness, Relaxation techniques and Breathwork to best suit my client. These approaches offer opportunities to:

Experience gentle, guided techniques to create inner calm and grounding.

Gently explore emotional experience with kindness and compassion.

Identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.

Consider the origins of repeating patterns to acknowledge and challenge the beliefs that no longer serve us.

Allow the body to release emotional trauma and guide you towards healing. Increase confidence, self esteem and self worth.

Cultivate self-compassion and self-acceptance.

Regardless of the techniques or theories we use, the ultimate goal of counselling is to facilitate change. Together, we will explore what this change means for you, and I'll be there to support you through your journey towards personal growth and transformation.

I offer weekly psychodynamic psychotherapy for individual adults, working non-directively and reflectively, aiming to help you find a better understanding of yourself and giving you space to think differently and make new choices in life. In psychodynamic therapy we explore your feelings and thoughts as they come to mind during sessions. This approach has a psychoanalytic basis, where we reflect on how early experiences and relationships affect our lives as adults in conscious and unconscious ways. 

I will provide therapy for as long as you need it. This may be long-term or short-term, we will discuss this when we first meet. If we agree it feels right for us to work together, your sessions will be 50 minutes long each week, normally on the same day and time.

I am a highly experienced person-centred and integrative counsellor with more than ten years of experience. I work with individual adults and young people aged 13+. I can help you with issues such as anxiety, depression, loss/grief, trauma and more. Being an integrative practitioner means that I work with you to explore and understand the past, make sense of the present and offer ways to support you going forwards. I work creatively and also bring in somatic approaches and compassion focussed mindfulness, if appropriate. I also work outdoors in nature, which can be very supportive for grounding and calming your nervous system and improving overall wellbeing. 

Most importantly however, is that I offer you a safe and non-judgemental space for you to fully be yourself. Together we work collaboratively so you can feel understood,  accepted and more resilient.
