Ruth Pooley

I specialise in therapy for trauma and therapy for coping with long-term illness, chronic pain, chronic fatigue and other physical health conditions.

I am an experienced psychodynamic psychotherapist offering in person and online therapy sessions in central Bristol.

I have extensive experience working with relationship and family issues; with questions around aspects of identity; and with life challenges, conflicts and dilemmas.

Sessions are once or twice weekly and we would usually meet for two consultations to establish your aims for therapy and what will best support you, before beginning ongoing therapy.

I provide a safe, supportive and confidential environment where you can voice and understand your thoughts, feelings and experiences.

As well as private practice, I also work as a psychotherapist for the NHS in the AWP Complex Psychological Interventions service.
