Core Psychotherapy, Counselling and Supervision

Core Psychotherapy, Counselling and Supervision Providing counselling, psychotherapy amd supervision in Portishead, North Somerset. Therapy is an opportunity to explore yourself.

My name is Sarah and I am a qualified humanistic counsellor and psychotherapist working within Bristol and North Somerset. I am an approachable, compassionate therapist who's aim is to provide a safe, secure environment for my clients. I am based in Bristol and Portishead and can offer a welcoming, confidential space within which we can explore your feelings, thoughts and behaviours. You may feel that something from your past is stopping you from moving forward in the present, or perhaps you have recently started to feel empty or alone: in either case therapy can provide a platform for your own self-discovery and ultimate self-acceptance. If you are unsure about therapy, or would just like to know more details about my services, please do not hesitate to contact me. My website has more information about me and my work but if you still have questions, just ask!

💬 How do you start a conversation?

For many of us, the hardest part of chatting isn’t talking — it’s knowing how to begin.

At a Chatty Café table, there’s no right or wrong way to start. A conversation can be as simple and gentle as:

✨ “It’s nice to sit here for a while, isn’t it?”
✨ “Have you been here before?”
✨ “How do you find the area?”
✨ “Is this a good spot for a cup of tea?”
✨ “It’s okay to just listen too.”

These open-ended starters don’t demand answers — they simply open the door.

Whether you’re a volunteer or someone joining us for the first time, remember:
💛 There’s no pressure to talk
💛 Silence is welcome
💛 Every conversation starts differently

👉 We’d love to know:
How do you usually start a conversation — or what helps someone start one with you?

This post is for all the women across North Somerset, impacted by the menopause. This time of the year, above all else, can have an even bigger impact than normal! juggling multiple balls, dropping several, trying to hold things together, playing super mum, wonder woman etc whilst feeling utterly overwhelmed, exhausted, with anxiety off the scale.

If this resonates with you, at all, then please come along to our monthly Menopause Cafe at the wonderful The Other Place in Weston Super Mare. A warm, open, safe space where women support women, all led by the amazing Fiona Gillespie. In January Caroline from Better Health North Somerset will be coming along to talk about diet and food for Menopause. A perfect way to kick start the New Year and adopt some healthy habits
