Counselling for couples and individuals in Bristol
I’m Travis, a BACP registered counsellor, and I’m here to help you explore the potential for positive change in a safe and confidential space.
MORE ABOUT ME
Welcome to Counselling Roots
I'm Travis. I offer professional counsellor working with couples and individuals in Bristol, working face-to-face or online.
Counselling gives you the space to talk about difficult situations and feelings with a trained practitioner. It can help you explore your thoughts and emotions, build self-awareness, and understand yourself at a deeper level — which in turn can help you make better decisions in life.
I work within an integrative framework with a Person-Centred approach, because I believe the therapeutic relationship itself offers the potential for positive change. Central to my work is an empathic, non-judgemental relationship where you feel safe to express difficult feelings and talk about your experiences at your own pace.
Alongside my work with individuals, I offer couples counselling — supporting partners who want to improve communication, rebuild trust, or navigate a difficult period together.
As a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I adhere to their Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions. I receive regular supervision and I am committed to maintaining and developing my knowledge through continued professional development.
“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo. “So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

Getting Started
Every new client begins with a free 20-minute telephone or online consultation. It's a chance to ask any questions you may have, tell me what you'd like to get from counselling, and see whether I feel like the right fit for you. There's no obligation to continue.
Individual Counselling
Sessions are 50 minutes, once a week, at a regular time that suits you. I work with depression, anxiety, stress, bereavement and loss, low self-esteem, panic attacks and major life changes. Weekly sessions help us keep momentum and give you consistent support.
Couples Counselling
I offer counselling for couples who want to communicate better, work through conflict, rebuild trust, or simply want to reconnect. Together, we'll explore what's happening in your relationship and find new ways of understanding each other, so both partners feel heard.
READY TO TAKE THE FIRST STEPS
Whether you’re curious about sessions, fees, or how counselling works — for yourself or as a couple — I’m happy to answer any questions. Your first 20-minute consultation is free.
