Choosing a private therapist in Bristol shouldn't mean scrolling through a directory and guessing.

It could be Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) counselling, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy or another evidence-based approach. Every therapist is handpicked by our Chief Clinical Officer, Dr Sarah Bateup and all our therapists and counsellors are accredited by BABCP, BACP, BPS or HCPC, so the standard behind your care never depends on luck.

Private care isn't only about avoiding a wait, though that matters. It means choosing appointment times around work, study or family life, rather than fitting into slots decided for you. It means staying with the same therapist throughout your care instead of being passed between services. And it means support that continues between sessions. You can message your therapist securely through the Towards app whenever something comes up, not just during your fifty minutes each week.

Opting for private counselling in Bristol vs. waiting for the NHS
Choosing private care in Bristol doesn't mean ruling out NHS support, and it isn't a replacement for crisis services. Where someone can’t keep themselves safe, we refer directly to the local NHS crisis team.
Private care ensures that you can start sooner, see the same therapist consistently, and avoid waits that can stretch for months.

What happens after you reach out
Getting in touch starts with a conversation, not a form to fill in. We'll ask what's going on and what you're hoping will change. We recommend the right type of support and match you with a suitable therapist. There's no pressure to commit to anything before that first conversation happens. You are also welcome to pop into our Bristol Hub with questions, no strings attached.
Support continues after sessions too. We don't limit care to a fixed number of sessions decided in advance. We review progress with you and adjust as things change, and we'll check in even after a course of sessions has ended.

You don't need an agreement on exactly what needs to change, before reaching out. Many couples start simply because talking to each other has become harder than it used to be, and they want that to change. That's reason enough to get in touch.
If either of you is at immediate risk, please contact your GP, NHS 111, or the emergency services. Towards is not a crisis service, though we can support your relationship as part of ongoing care once you're both safe.
