Counselling and Psychotherapy in Bristol

Linda Walker, Counselling.

Hello, my name is Linda Walker, welcome to my web site.
I offer counselling and psychotherapy in Bristol and in addition to general counselling have specific experience in the fields of alcohol and drug addiction, life threatening illness and H.I.V.

I am a BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy) Accredited Counsellor/Psychotherapist and I have worked as a therapist in Bristol for 18 years.

In addition to working with general issues, and I have listed some examples below, I also have experience of addiction counselling in Bristol particularly counselling clients who are seeking help with alcohol and drug addiction.

I trained at the University of the West of England in Integrative Counselling.
(to find out more about Integrative Counselling & Psychotherapy click here )

These are some examples of the sorts of difficulties I work with ....

  • You are experiencing feelings of depression, anxiety or panic attacks
  • May be concerned about your use of alcohol and worrying you may have an addiction
  • Are feeling low self esteem and excessively anxious in social situations.
  • You are struggling to cope with a recent or past bereavement
  • Feeling your anger is out of control or maybe not able to get angry when it might be appropriate to do so.
  • Are in the middle of a life crisis.
  • Having relationship difficulties, with peers, partner or children.
  • Struggling with career choices, work and life balance or problems at work such as bullying.
  • Have been diagnosed as H.I.V. positive or worried you may be at risk of H.I.V.

    Pleae note I can work with you around any difficulties in your relationship with a partner but I do not work with couples.

    I also have training and experience of counselling clients who are struggling with their use of , alcohol and drugs, are H.I.V. positive and of working with students and young people (over 18 years).

    I work in Bristol from practices in St. Andrews, Bristol
    (Tuesday &afternoon and evening) and from a practice on the Henleaze/Bishopston borders. . All of these rooms have good parking and easily accessible from the Gloucester Road and bus routes in and out of Bristol.

    The Henleaze practice is off Kellaway Avenue and a 5 minutes walk from the Ashley Down end of Gloucester Road. The St. Andrews practice is near Sommerville Road.

  • There is no charge for the initial session .

    I charge £40 with concessions available. Please enquire about this.

  • I usually have evening appointments available at St. Andrews and at West Broadway, Henleaze/Bishopston.


    At our first meeting I will listen to you and we can explore what you are looking for from counselling and I will help you to decide what would work best for you.


    There is more information on these different ways of working under
    "Counselling and Psychotherapy" on this web-site.

    Please take the time to read through my web site and give me a call if there is anything that you would like to discuss further or to make an
    appointment for an initial meeting
    .
