Kyle Davies
Psychologist, BSc MPhil CPsychol AFBPsS
If you are tired of feeling low, depleted, stuck, lost, overwhelmed, or stressed-out, I can help you to reclaim your vitality and zest for life.
Whether you struggle with a diagnosed condition such as Anxiety, Depression, Panic Disorder, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, or Fibromyalgia, or maybe you want to transcend the mire of brain fog, anxious thoughts, and worry, my work can pave the way to a radically different future.
We start by looking at symptoms as purposeful messengers - that means we unpick the underlying causes. Then I teach you how to unlock your deeper potentials for healing, wellbeing, resilience, motivation, and mental clarity.

Lulu AlRashdi
Life Coach
From an ex-police officer to a trauma-informed life coach. My journey has been profound. I learned that the greatest gift we can give ourselves is recognizing who we truly are beneath our conditioning, survival patterns, and past experiences.
Many of the struggles we face today are rooted in childhood experiences, unconscious beliefs, and emotional wounds that continue to shape how we think, feel, and relate to the world. My role is to help you gently explore these patterns, understand their origins, and create awareness without judgment.

Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Something in you knows that what you're carrying runs deeper than the presenting problem.
Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable, and outwardly composed-yet internally they live with anxiety, depression, chronic tension or pain, relentless self-criticism, or a sense that something essential is blocked, muted, or just out of reach. These struggles may surface in mood, in the body, in behavior, or in relationships-including sexuality and intimacy-but they are rarely contained to any one area. They tend to reflect deeper emotional and relational patterns formed early in life, often before language, that continue to shape how a person approaches closeness, vulnerability, agency, pleasure, and self-expression.
My work centers on how early experience shapes the capacity for self-regulation, desire, connection, and meaning throughout life-and particularly on how people come to know what they need and want, how they learn to express or inhibit those impulses, and what happens when these capacities become conflicted, constricted, or difficult to sustain.
I integrate psychoanalytic hypnotherapy, somatic awareness, and clinical sexology within a reflective, depth-oriented process. Hypnosis functions as a central clinical tool-creating conditions for deeper internal contact with emotional, bodily, and unconscious experience that can be difficult to reach through conversation alone. The aim is not only relief from symptoms, but the development of a more coherent and compassionate relationship with one's inner life: sensations, emotions, impulses, and desires.
This work is oriented toward lasting psychological change-and toward greater freedom in how one relates to oneself, one's body, and one's capacity for connection, authenticity, and vitality. It is best suited to those ready to move beyond symptom management toward something more fundamental.

Bristol has a strong progressive and creative culture, and its therapy community reflects this — with high demand for therapists who specialise 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.
