Psychodynamic
Jimi Katsis
Registered Psychotherapist, MA psych, Dip SW
I've spent 30 years doing this work because I understand what it's like when the outside doesn't match the inside. I know what it means to carry things nobody sees. I've lived it, not just studied it.
I'm an integrative therapist, which means I adapt to what you actually need rather than fitting you into my preferred method. I'm trained in Psychodynamic & Schema Therapy, IFS, Somatic Experiencing, DBT-PTSD—but I don't force you into one box. We find what works for you, not what's convenient for me.
I'm not interested in teaching you more coping skills or managing symptoms. I want to help you understand why you're wired the way you are, then help you change it. That takes honesty, patience, and someone who won't look away when things get uncomfortable.
I've built businesses, raised a family, navigated my own dark corners. I get the weight of responsibility and what it costs to keep everything running while barely keeping yourself together.
If you need someone direct, grounded, human, and who won't waste your time—let's talk.

Psychodynamic
Samantha Coleman
Therapist, MBACP Prof Dip
I work in a warm, informal, and deeply human way. I see you as the expert on yourself, and my role is to help you make sense of what lies beneath the surface: your patterns, relationships, wounds, pressures, and life experiences. I bring together genuine warmth, honest connection, deep pattern recognition, and a structured approach, so that therapy feels both easy to step into and meaningful in what it uncovers. I believe the best therapy happens when you can be real, speak freely, and feel understood without having to perform or pretend.

5 Years Experience
Online in Bristol, ENG England
Bristol has a strong progressive and creative culture, and its therapy community reflects this — with high demand for therapists who specialize in LGBTQ+ identity, non-traditional relationship structures, eco-anxiety, and social-justice-informed approaches to mental health. The city has a significant student population across the University of Bristol and UWE Bristol, and therapists addressing academic pressure and young adult transitions are well represented. Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust provides public mental health services, with a private practice community concentrated in Clifton, Cotham, and Stokes Croft. Bristol's history of race-related civic tensions — including the 2020 removal of the Colston statue — has made racial identity and community healing ongoing themes in the city's therapy culture.
