Lin Ren
Gestalt Psychotherapist in Bristol
UKCP Registered



Hello, starting therapy is a big step for most people. It's normal to be unsure about what you need and who you need to talk to.
I'm here to listen to the daily struggles in your life as well as the most difficult moments that you don't know who to tell. I'm not here to judge you, rather, I want to understand the recurring issues and their deeper meanings.
I know that most of us have experienced trauma, harsh setbacks, and failure that leaves us feeling defeated and lost. I'm here to support you to make sense of what's happening and find a way back to feeling more like yourself.
Oftentimes it's really hard to talk about certain topics with friends and partners, for fear of being a burden or that they can't relate or accept what you're saying. Therapy is private and confidential and it's an appropriate place to share.
Sometimes because of neurodivergence, minority identity, sexuality or gender, it is hard to find places and people who you can trust to explore how it feels to be different in this 'normalised' world. I want to explore this experience of belonging and being othered for who you are.
I'm an experienced, UKCP registered Gestalt Psychotherapist therapist working in Bristol. I have over 9 years of experience in this field.
I offer an initial meeting, at a reduced cost to discuss what you want to work on. It is also an opportunity for us to see if we want to continue. I also offer remote sessions via phone or zoom.

“Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive.”
