Angela Briggs

I offer a warm, confidential space in Bristol (Clifton) or online where you can explore what feels important to you, at your own pace. To help you decide if we’re a good fit, I provide a free 20-minute, no-obligation telephone consultation. This gives you the chance to ask any questions and get a sense of how we might work together before committing to a full session.

I am an integrative counsellor, drawing mainly on person-centred and psychodynamic approaches. In practice, this means your experiences and feelings are central, while I also pay attention to how past relationships and events can influence your current life. My approach can help build awareness, lighten what feels heavy, and support you in moving towards steadier, more fulfilling ways of living.

Since qualifying, I’ve worked in a variety of settings, including The Southmead Project (supporting adults with a history of abuse and trauma) and The Carers Support Centre (working with older adults and carers). These roles, along with ongoing professional development, have deepened my experience of working with trauma, anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, caring responsibilities, and life transitions. I started my private practice in 2016 and now work exclusively with adults in private practice, seeing clients both in person and online nationwide. 

If you would like to find out more or arrange an appointment, please get in touch. I’ll be happy to answer your questions and offer availability for either a free 20-minute consultation or a 50-minute appointment at my usual fee.

My practice is currently full.

Supervision is a crucial aspect of clinical work, providing a space to reflect, discuss challenging cases, and gain deeper understanding and clarity around your work. I offer a collaborative and relational approach to supervision, helping you explore areas where you feel stuck and gain new perspectives within a supportive supervisory relationship.

About My Supervision Approach:

Reflective Space: Discuss your clients, explore challenging areas, and gain clarity.

Collaborative and Relational: Work together to view your work from different angles.

Wellbeing Focus: While supervision is not personal therapy, your wellbeing is prioritised to ensure you remain happy in your work and can best support your clients.

My Background and Qualifications:

Qualified in Supervision with Iron Mill College 2025.

Qualified as an integrative counsellor with Bath Centre for Counselling and Psychotherapy in 2014.

Hold a BA (Hons) in Counselling and Society from the University of Wales 2008.

Experience as a therapeutic support worker in a youth therapeutic community, trauma and addiction specialist at The Southmead Project, and telephone counsellor for the Carers Support Centre.

Currently running a busy private practice in Clifton, Bristol, and online.

Specialisation and Suitability:

I work from an integrative approach, combining person-centred and psychodynamic theories, with a strong background in trauma. My supervision is ideal for therapists interested in relational work and trauma-informed practice.
