Working with me

I’m a Humanist Integrative Counsellor of adults and young people over 11.  To me, this means finding the way of working that is most helpful to you right now.  We build the trusting relationship between us in which you can bring your whole self, your struggles and pains.  I work without judgement to understand what it is like to be you.  We might talk about your life experiences and relationships now and in the past, including from childhood.  We might talk about your dreams, and your hopes for the future.  Therapy can be a place to try new ways of relating and being, if that is what is needed.  We work together to find what you need.

About me, Emily Tiplady, BA(hon), PGCE QTS, Dip HIC (L6, BCPC) MBACP

I aim to work inclusively and accessibly.  I have over 25 years’ experience of working with diverse people of all ages in a variety of community contexts, particularly formal and informal education settings.  I work towards BACP ethical frameworks.  You might find their website helpful in your search for a therapist https://www.bacp.co.uk/.

I am doing a level 7 post qualifying diploma in Counselling Children and Young People (C&YP). 

I have provided counselling in private practice and in organisations (Mind, Off the Record, Salvation Army) with clients bringing a range of presenting issues, in time-limited and open-ended work.  I draw from a variety of theoretical frameworks.  Please feel free to ask me about this.  We could use creative approaches, for example sandtray – do ask me about this.

Booking a session

You must find the therapist who feels right for you, we can have a free 20-minute phone call and then meet for an initial conversation to help with that decision.  In this meeting we might think about what you are struggling with at the moment, and what your hopes are for our work together. 

We will meet in a therapy room in central Bristol, or we could work online. 

Sessions are 50 minutes, £50 online, £60 in person.
