Naomi Baguley (my pronouns are She/Her)

My name is Naomi, I am an experienced, qualified and fully insured person centred/ integrative Counsellor. I work in Clifton Village and Southville in Bristol, and I work face to face, online and over the phone. 

Do you feel sad, anxious, or depressed?, do you have social or generalised anxiety? Unresolved feelings from your past?

Counselling can help. I am friendly, warm and caring. I will endeavour to create a safe confidential space. I want you to feel safe, understood and heard. Counselling and the relationship we build can support you to process your feelings, emotions, behaviours and experiences and from doing this my hope would be that you will feel happier and more content.

Communication and connecting are natural needs for us humans, and within a counselling relationship comes healing. Talking to family and friends can be helpful, but it also has its challenges as they are not impartial like a counsellor is. They may hold judgements, give unhelpful advice, maybe trust and honesty is hard. This is normal and a common experience. Sometimes it's easier to talk to someone who doesn't have the connection to you in the same way as a friend or family member.

I have a particular interest in issues from childhood, relational difficulties, feelings of depression and anxiety, along with low self worth, self esteem, etc. I can work with many more issues and feelings.

Counselling can last anything from 6 sessions, to months, through to years. It's your choice how long you come for but we can discuss this as we work together. 

I hope through counselling life can change for the better for you. Book in an initial session or a 10 minute phone call.
