Kyrena Karmiloff

I have limited availability for online clients only at the moment.

Welcome, I’m Kyrena, a Â鶹ԭ´´ registered integrative therapist and psychosynthesis counsellor with a background in developmental psychology and many years of experience working with grief, depression, childhood trauma, relationship difficulties, disordered eating and bereavement. I am passionate about my work and aim to provide a warm and nurturing space where you can safely share all your thoughts, feelings and experiences, and explore what is true for you and what is at odds – in your life, your relationships, and your way of being in the world – with how you feel inside. Currently available for online therapy only

As an integrative therapist, I draw on a variety of approaches, working creatively to tailor our sessions to your unique needs. Together we will explore the roots of your current struggles, identify the patterns that affect your life, and get to know all the parts that make up who you are. I trained in psychosynthesis and start from the premise that everyone has an inner wisdom calling them to personal truth and congruence. I believe that therapy, by providing a safe space in which to experiment with new ways of thinking, feeling and being, can unlock the blocks to this healing drive and awaken its potential.

Training, qualifications & experience

I have a Post-Graduate Diploma in Psychosynthesis Counselling, a Masters in Psychology, I am certified grief- and trauma-informed therapist and the author of several books on child development. Before becoming a therapist I was a full-time writer and worked many years as a volunteer supporting children and adults experiencing bereavement and terminal illness. Alongside my private practice, I continue to volunteer part-time as a therapist for a charity in Bristol supporting those facing end of life and bereavement. 

It’s impossible to know, just from an online profile, who will be a good fit for your unique journey. So I offer a free initial 15-20 minute online session for us to meet each other. It’s an opportunity for you to tell me a bit about yourself, your hopes for therapy and any concerns you might have, and for us both to get an idea of how it would be to work together. If you would like to arrange this, please get in touch. More information about my background and the way I work can be found on my website. I look forward to hearing from you.

I have a limited number space spaces currently available for either online sessions, or in-person at my practice in Orchard Street, Bristol BS1.

I work with clients aged 16+  and reserve a small number of low-cost spaces for those experiencing financial hardship.

I work in-person and online, mostly in an open-ended way, though I also offer shorter-term counselling for those with limited time or resources who want to focus on a specific issue. I also offer walk-and-talk therapy for those who would feel more comfortable out in the open.
