Katharine Rider Psychotherapy

Core Process Psychotherapy in Bristol

The decision to have therapy is a personal one and can be prompted by many things:

specific life events in childhood or adulthood

general feelings of struggle, unhappiness, dissatisfaction or unease

feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns

a search for a spiritual dimension or meaning

I work one-to-one with adults. Psychotherapy is usually a mid- to long-term process on an open-ended basis. However, it is also possible to work for an agreed time period. In this case the work would be more focussed on specific issues.

I offer a free first meeting, lasting up to one hour, which gives you the chance to ask any questions and perhaps more importantly to get a sense of who I am. If we decide to work together, we will usually contract to do six sessions. In the 6th session we will review the work and see whether it feels right to continue.

I am experienced in working with :

Anxiety and panic attacks

Relationship issues

Stress

Bereavement

Depression

Trauma

I offer a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space for what can be a challenging and also a very joyous experience of learning to live more fully and with more freedom.

My practice is located in Ashley Down, close to bus routes and within easy reach of Bishopston, Clifton, Montpelier, St Werburgh's and North Bristol.

I work to the Karuna Institute code of ethics, and my work is fully supervised and insured.
