Are you feeling overwhelmed, carrying a grief too heavy to share, or feeling the weight of the invisible wounds of emotional abuse or childhood trauma? Maybe you’re not sleeping, constantly overthinking, or finding it impossible to switch off. You might be running on autopilot—doing everything for everyone else while feeling disconnected from yourself. Anxiety, low self-esteem, or the aftermath of something life-altering—like pregnancy loss, a change in circumstances, or the end of a relationship—can leave you feeling emotionally exhausted and unsure where to turn. Whatever you’re facing, you don’t have to go through it alone. I’m Elaine, a qualified person-centred integrative counsellor based in Chipping Sodbury, Bristol. I offer trauma-informed counselling for anxiety, grief, emotional abuse, low self-worth, and pregnancy loss — both in-person in Bristol and online across the UK. I also teach on Network Counselling and Training’s introductory courses, supporting others as they begin their counselling journey. With me, you’ll find a calm, compassionate space to explore your experiences at your own pace. Together, we can untangle what’s been weighing you down, rebuild self-trust, and support you to move forward with more clarity, self-worth, and confidence. Counselling isn’t just for crises—it’s a nurturing space for healing, reflection, and meaningful emotional growth.
