Counselling & Somatic Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy

Face-to-face in Bristol | Online across UK & Europe

Hello, I'm Jules.

I'm an Integrative Counsellor based in Bristol, offering face-to-face counselling in Bristol and online counselling across the UK and Europe. Alongside counselling, I also offer specialised Somatic and Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed therapy for people who are looking to understand themselves more deeply and gently reconnect with themselves.

Many of the people who come to work with me have spent years holding everything together. They may be living with anxiety, burnout, chronic illness or chronic fatigue, neurodivergence (including ADHD, autism and AuDHD), highly sensetive, people-pleasing, low self-worth, relationship difficulties, or life transitions, trauma or complex trauma (CPTSD), grief, family estrangement, difficult family relationships. Often they're simply feeling exhausted from carrying so much for so long.

I know that reaching out for support can feel like a big step. My hope is to offer a warm, compassionate space where you can arrive exactly as you are, without pressure to have everything figured out. Together, we'll gently make sense of what's happening in your life, at a pace that feels right for you.

For over 30 years I've worked in community wellbeing, the creative industries, and inclusive community projects. Becoming a counsellor felt like a natural continuation of that work, creating a deeper space where people can feel heard, understood, and supported.

My approach is trauma-informed and trauma sensitive,, neuro-affirming, body-aware, and inclusive, grounded in warmth, curiosity, and compassion.

At the heart of all my work is a simple idea I call Creating a Home Within gently supporting you to reconnect with yourself, create a greater sense of inner safety, and feel a little more at home within yourself.

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply longing to reconnect with yourself, you're very welcome here.

You are welcome here just as you are

A place to slow down. A place to be heard. A place where you are accepted.    A place to reconnect with yourself.

Perhaps you've been carrying a lot for a long time. Maybe you've become so used to coping, looking after everyone else, pushing through, or telling yourself you'll be okay, that you've almost forgotten what it feels like to have someone support you.

You might be feeling anxious, burnt out, overwhelmed or exhausted. You may be living with the impact of trauma, difficult family relationships, grief, chronic illness, neurodivergence, or simply have a sense that life feels harder than it should.

Perhaps you've spent years trying to understand yourself, reading the books, listening to podcasts, searching online late at night, wondering why things still feel so difficult. You might even be asking yourself, "Is there someone who will really understand me?"

If any of this feels familiar, I'm really glad you've found your way here. My hope is to offer a warm, compassionate and down-to-earth space where you don't have to keep holding everything together. A space where you can bring whatever is happening in your life, without judgement or pressure, and where you don't have to have all the answers before you begin.

Together, we'll gently make sense of your experiences, explore what has helped you survive until now, and discover what might help you feel more connected to yourself moving forward.

I believe healing begins when we have a space to feel safe enough to be ourselves, understood for who we are, and supported with compassion and curiosity.

You don't have to carry everything on your own anymore. We can simply begin where you are.

One-to-one counselling

Perhaps you've been carrying a lot for a long time.

Maybe you've been looking after everyone else, pushing through, masking how you're really feeling, or simply trying to get through each day.

My Counselling sessions offer a space where you can slow down, feel heard, and gently reconnect with yourself.

Specialised Therapy work - Somatic and Internal Family Systems

Sometimes we can understand something with our minds, but our bodies are still carrying it.

If you've ever found yourself thinking, "I understand why I feel like this, but I still can't seem to change it," this way of working may resonate with you.
