Counselling, Focusing and Trauma Therapy in Bristol and South Gloucestershire
Welcome to my website.I have been practising as a counsellor and psychotherapist in Bristol for 12 years, specialising in Trauma Therapy and Focusing.
I work from my home in a quiet corner of Stoke Gifford, a few minutes from the M32. My practice is easily accessible from all parts of the city and from the whole of South Gloucestershire.
My specialist training in Somatic Trauma Therapy means I can work with people whose lives have been blighted by traumatic events or conditions such as childhood or domestic abuse, physical violence or accidents.
Dealing with long-established problems can be hard work, so I try to make the counselling process as collaborative, down-to-earth and pain-free as possible. I believe that ordinary human kindness, humour and common sense are just as important for successful counselling as a good professional training.
I offer a FREE 1-hr initial session with no obligation, so that prospective clients can get to know me a little, see how I work, and find out if I’m going to be the right therapist for them.
My normal fee is £40 per 1-hr session. There are also a limited number of concessionary slots for those on a low income.
I prefer to work weekly but can also work fortnightly if that is the preferred option. I can work some evenings and/or weekends by arrangement if no other time is possible.
Please browse my website for more information about how I work, my life experience, psychotherapy training and counsellor accreditation, and my areas of special expertise including Trauma Therapy and Focusing.
Client Testimonials
B.M., Bristol, September 2010Chris helped me to deal with and overcome post-traumatic stress disorder. Chris has an infectious sense of calm. He is very good at taking what you say and suggesting ways of dealing with it that are insightful, completely unintrusive and judgement free.
Just being able to talk about whatever is bothering you without any kind of judgements or assumptions can allow you to get your thoughts into perspective. Chris doesn't supply solutions but rather lends you the headspace to construct your own. His goal is very simply your own long term happiness. Rarely have I felt so well understood.
J.H., Bristol, September 2010
Chris Wilson helped me to become a calmer, more confident person. I went to him because I was struggling with my temper. He helped me to come to terms with things, work out why I was sometimes like that, what made me tick and how to deal with it all.
After two sessions of 6 meetings each, I am much calmer, haven't lost my temper in months and am much better at dealing with problems and stress, because I know where it stems from and how to deal with that. It has made a huge difference in both my personal and professional life and I thoroughly recommend him. And he's not expensive!
