Cathy Boyd
Gestalt counselling & psychotherapy in Bristol
“The purpose of psychotherapy is to set people free”
– Rollo May, Existential Psychotherapist
I am an experienced Gestalt Psychotherapist working in private practice in Bishopston, Bristol. I have wide-ranging experience in all kinds of client issues, and am adaptable and flexible in the way I work.
I believe that growth comes about through understanding and insight, through authentic connection to the self, and within the context of a safe and reliable therapeutic relationship.
I am accredited by the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy and work according to their ethics and guidelines.
About Gestalt
Gestalt has a unique flavour which many people have loved over the years
Dream Work
Dreams come from the unknown aspect of the self, so can speak to us with a wisdom that our conscious self does not have.
