James Hall
Integrative counsellorAbout Me
I am a qualified, integrative counsellor based in Bristol. Put simply, rather than applying a 'one size fits all' approach, using only one technique, it is more of a combination of therapies, tailored for each individual's needs.
I offer individual therapy for adults in the field of mental health in a number of areas (not an exhaustive list) including:
- Loss
- Self Harm
- Injury
- Bereavement
- Rape
- Abuse
- Stress
- Anger
- Post Traumatic Stress Disorder – PTSD
- Anxiety
- Habit/behaviour change (Including self-defeating)
- Depression
- Guilt/Remorse/Shame
- Relationships
- Childhood wounds or related issues
To ensure I am practicing safely and to the best of my ability, I receive regular clinical supervision and attend a number of professional development courses each year. This is essential to both my practice and growth as a therapist. To ensure my work is compliant with the latest GDPR regulations, I am registered as a Data Controller with the Information Commissioners Office (ICO). I also hold professional indemnity insurance with Holistic Insurance and abide by the National Counselling Society Code of Ethics. NCS | Code of Ethics
Person-Centred Therapy
The core of my way of working is person-centred. This means it is non-directive and client-led. We will work from your own personal circumstances. At the centre of our sessions will be the core values - empathy, congruence (being genuine) and unconditional positive regard (acceptance of you as an individual).
Integrative Therapy
Dependant on the individual, I may use other therapeutic models which may include challenge, being creative, exploring the past and other well-established techniques that will benefit clients' needs.
