I currently have availability on Mondays, Tuesdays and possibly Saturdays.

Hi, I'm Stephen - an experienced relationship therapist offering support to couples and those in diverse relationship models. I provide in-person sessions in Clifton, Bristol (BS8).

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in helping clients find new ways to navigate challenges and make more informed choices. Sessions offer a safe and confidential space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences.

I have a particular interest in working with issues relating to sexuality and sexual identity within relationships. I also bring extensive experience supporting members of the LGBTQ+ and neurodiverse communities.

I’m an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (ÌÇÐĹÙÍø) and hold an Advanced Diploma in Relationship Psychotherapy and a Postgraduate Diploma (Distinction) in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy.

As an integrative therapist, I draw on a variety of therapeutic methods to enhance wellbeing and deepen self-awareness. I’ve supported couples facing challenges such as:

• Relationship and sex-related issues, including non-monogamy
• Communication issues
• Questions or struggles around sexuality
• Anxiety, depression, or low self-confidence
• Neurodiversity
• Work, or career concerns
• Life transitions and the search for a more fulfilling future

Our first meeting provides an opportunity to explore what you hope to gain from counselling. I’ll be interested in learning more about you both – your relationship, experiences, concerns, and goals – and you’ll have the chance to ask questions about how I work and what to expect.

Together, we’ll consider how relationship therapy might support you. We'll discuss how we can work collaboratively to create a space that feels safe, respectful and tailored to your needs. This is likely to include understanding the dynamics of your relationship and identifying areas you'd like to strengthen or resolve.

Your initial relationship therapy session is offered at a reduced rate of £40 and lasts 60 minutes. Sessions will then take place at the same time each week. There’s no fixed rule about how long therapy should last, it can be short-term or ongoing, and you’re always in control of how long you choose to continue.

Each session after our first meeting is £80 for individuals (60 minutes).
