Jacqueline Stapley

I have limited availability from September 2026.

I offer a tailored, relational approach that honours your unique story and considers how your experiences have been shaped by your relationships, background, and environment. To support our work together, I draw from Gestalt, Transactional Analysis, attachment theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and the psychodynamic approach.

My aim is to offer a warm, non-judgmental space where long-held feelings can be explored safely. By helping you tune into physical sensations and emotional shifts, we can work together to reconnect with hidden or silenced parts of yourself, foster self-compassion, and navigate life's challenges with greater authenticity.

For some clients, words alone are not enough, so I also offer creative ways of accessing deeper layers of experience. Modalities such as drawing, collage, clay, sandtray, movement and symbolic imagery can offer alternative pathways into expression and meaning-making. No artistic experience or ability is needed.

I work regularly with: Anxiety, Depression, Bereavement, Low self-esteem, Chronic pain, Complex trauma and Neurodiversity.

Sessions last 50-55 minutes and take place weekly, either online or in person in a spacious therapy room in Redland, Bristol.

I offer both short-term and long-term therapy tailored to your needs. We will regularly review our progress together to ensure the pace and duration of our work align with your goals.

As a fully qualified integrative counsellor and registered member of the Â鶹ԭ´´, I work in strict accordance with the Â鶹ԭ´´ Ethical Framework and engage in regular supervision and ongoing professional development.

I hold a Master’s in Integrative Arts Psychotherapy and am trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS, Levels 1 & 2).

Reaching out for support takes courage. I offer a free 20-minute phone or video call to help you take that first step, giving us space to talk through your needs, answer any questions, and explore how it might feel to work together.

If you have any questions or would like to arrange an initial call, please contact me via email: jackie.bristoltherapy@gmail.com
