Bryony Clark Counselling

Collaborative:

A sense of connection matters. I aim to meet clients as one human to another - with care, non-judgement,  a sense of realness (and occasionally humour).

We work together to find an approach and pace that fits. It's not passive. I’ll offer reflections, and share knowledge and experience, but I respect that you are the expert on you.

Working in a practical way:

We can't control our thoughts and feelings, but we can change how we respond to them. We work with the physical feelings and mental loops that keep stress and anxiety going. This is informed by current CBT models and psychological understanding.

Exploring habits and relationship patterns:

If you find yourself wondering, “why do I always do that?” it can be helpful to understand how these patterns formed. Ways of adapting to past relationships, circumstances, or events (including trauma) can become automatic. Together, we can identify and update them, so they feel less stuck and more aligned with how you want to be.

Neuro-affirming:

I adapt the work for neurodiverse clients, including ADHD and autistic traits, so it feels right for you.
