Jill Edwards Counselling
18 Altringham Rd, Bristol BS5 7AS, UK – 0117 939 3240
Jill Edwards is a warm, kind and caring woman. I was at first sceptical of visiting a counsellor as I wasn’t sure about it and didn’t understand how it would work but I was desperate so I had to try something. 3 months on I am a different person, I feel stronger, confident and I am excited about what tomorrow brings. Although I still have some work to do Jill has helped me turn my life around, something which I never thought was possible. I would recommend Jill to anyone who is suffering from depression and anxiety.
Heart to Heart Bristol
South Rd, Bristol BS15 8JF, UK – 07926 314739
Affordable and good is a rare combination when it comes to this kind of thing but Heart to Heart definitely ticks both boxes! Great counseling service. Kerry is wonderful and I assume the rest of the team are as well. Highly recommend!

Jeremy brings a pragmatic and down to earth structure to counselling. He is very easy to speak with, the counselling room feels very homely, welcoming and secure. The person centred approach he offers is an excellent tool for arriving at your own decisions and empowering you to take control of now and knowing that it is possible to (re) shape the future! Can thoroughly recommend Jer, good value for an excellent service!
