Steven Timmins
Psychotherapist in Bristol, Uk

I work with evidenced based psychological approaches. A lot of my work is focus on a newer approach (Compassion Focused Therapy). Developing compassion for your difficulties can allow you to engage with your problems/ distress and promote healing and change in a way I've not seen with other approaches.

Background & Psychotherapy Qualifications

I have many years experience working in NHS Psychology teams. For the last 6 years I have been providing therapy independently. I hold a degree in Psychology, a Post-Graduate Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)and further training in Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT).

My Specialisms

I work with Compassion Focused Therapy and CBT. With compassion focused therapy we'll look at how your problems relate to the difficulty we all have in managing our emotions due to our tricky brains, which don't always work the way we'd like them to. We'll also explore your experiences from childhood and how you feel about yourself having these difficulties, often we are quite critical of ourselves for our problems.

Approach to Psychotherapy & How I Work

Initially we focus on exploring the difficulties you are experiencing and your personal history. I can then start to show you how Compassion Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy can provide insights and a different perspective. This will help us understand why you struggle in the way that you do and why you might not have been able to change this.
