Good therapists or counsellors in Bristol Hi everyone. Can anybody recommend good therapists in Bristol, specifically to deal with severe depression and anxiety? I have been through Off the Record who are great but now that's done and I need some more help which is going to mean paying for it. I would like talking therapy, so probably not CBT or hypnotherapy, but if anybody has had good experiences anywhere then I'd love to know about it. Thank you

Hello. I currently see a Dr Dedman at The Priory. It's not cheap, but he's very good. Luckily I got referred by my employer via my Health Insurance. An acquaintance of mine also runs http://www.silvercatpsychotherapy.com/ who may also be able to help. I didn't get on with CBT either, so I can sympathise.

I've seen a few and even did 2 years of psychotherapy training in Bath, so I've come across a lot of therapists in the area. My tl;dr is see as many for an initial session before you decide. There are a lot of great therapists in the area, some are specialised, some are cheaper (£35/session), some expensive (£60/session), some you will click with straight away, some will make you wonder why they ever went into the profession! Google should be enough to get you started. My personal favourite was a lady called Julia Gresty, she's into a more meditative approach. Good luck! Even just the act of going out into the world and asking for help is such a symbolic process.
