William Bennet-Clark

I currently have availability on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.

I also offer walk and talk therapy in nature.

I am a qualified Integrative Therapist. I am also a registered member of the 麻豆原创.

It can take a lot of courage to come to therapy, and for many, to continue to do so when exploring difficult areas of their lives.

You don't have to come to therapy when you're in crisis. But you may be. Often people will go to the gym, and work on their bodies. Why wouldn't you do the same for your mind? 

There is no right or wrong reason to come to therapy. Being human is complicated.

There may be something in your life that isn't as you would like.  If you have the desire and the will to do something about it, you can change.

We can be in and out of therapy several times in our lives, for different reasons. Humans are incredibly complex and fascinating beings, and their resilience to life events, strength in adversity and ability to cope, change and grow, never ceases to amaze and impress me.

It's my belief that you are the expert on you. Therefore it's for us to explore together what it is that brings you to counselling, and what you hope to achieve.

In my practice I am grounded, authentic, calm and down to earth. I have experience of working with (but not limited to) anxiety, self-esteem, trauma-related childhood issues, drugs, gambling, alcohol and other substance dependency issues.

I provide a non-judgemental counselling and therapeutic service based in comfortable, calm and safe practice rooms in Bristol City Centre where you will always be warmly welcomed and safely held.

As an Integrative Counsellor I will tailor my approach to what's appropriate to you, with your permission. You鈥檙e always welcome to enquire about my practice. 

I'll do my best to meet you where you are. Mostly, I use my counselling knowledge, life experience and skills to assist me in exploring how you see the world and where you want to go. 

I work mindfully, and I like to work with the somatic, felt, bodily experience, as it's a very useful way of exploring some unconcious processes. The body knows many of our truths.

I hope also to share some of my knowledge and empower you to find the tools to be able to look after, and regulate yourself.

To me, the quality of our working relationship is at the core of our work together. I believe that it鈥檚 the quality of the therapeutic relationship that does the healing. It鈥檚 been argued that this is almost as important as the modality of the therapist.

Therefore I think it鈥檚 important for me to be the right 鈥渇it鈥� for you, and you for me.

I offer a free 15-30-minute telephone consultation to decide if booking a first session is suitable.

This is an opportunity for us to decide that we are the right fit for one another, and to discuss the issues you want to explore. 

I always suggest clients "shop around" to find the right therapist for them.

If you decide to go ahead, we will then have a chargeable assessment session, to decide if we'd like to work together.
