Hi, I’m Tripti
I am a qualified Integrative Therapist/Counsellor, MNCS (National Counselling Society Accredited Member) practicing in Wickwar, South Gloucestershire which is also accessible from Bristol, Gloucester, and Bath. I offer in-person and online sessions.
I am a dedicated and compassionate integrative therapist/counsellor committed to providing high-quality support to individuals seeking guidance and healing.
I can help you with a wide range of issues, from everyday stressors to profound traumas. These experiences could deeply impact your mental health, leading to feelings of anxiety, depression, to post-traumatic stress. However, amidst these struggles, there is hope for healing and growth. I provide a safe and nurturing space for you to explore your emotions, navigate through difficult life events, and uncover healthier coping mechanisms.
I extensively work with individuals who have endured abuse and neglect as well as those who are survivors of sexual abuse. I recognise the profound effects of such trauma which could present as anxiety, depression, feelings of guilt and shame, substance misuse, self-harm and thoughts of suicide.
I tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each client. I draw upon theories, techniques, and tools from various humanistic modalities including Person centred, Relational, Psychodynamic, Transactional Analysis, Internal Family System, CBT, Polyvagal Theory, Mindfulness and Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy.
I work collaboratively with my clients to develop long-term strategies for coping and resilience. By empowering clients to confront their past experiences and embrace their inner strength, my aim is to facilitate healing and cultivate a sense of hope for the future.
In essence, my practice is dedicated to your mental health, offering a guiding hand towards healing, growth, and ultimately, a more fulfilling life.
