Jan O'Mahony - Counsellor in Bath & Bradford-on-Avon

Counselling and therapy in Bath & Bradford-on-Avon

Welcome to my website. . . .
My name is Jan O'Mahony. I am a fully qualified psychodynamic counsellor with over 12 years experience, accredited with BACP and listed in the UK Directory of Counselling and Psychotherapy.
I offer counselling and therapy on a short or long term basis according to need to people living in or near Bath, Bradford-on-Avon, Bristol and Chippenham. My fee is £35-£40 per session depending on income and circumstances.

I see people both in Bath and Bradford-on-Avon at the following locations:

Combe Down Branch Surgery in Bath BA2 2AL (within easy reach of Bristol, Radstock and Midsomer Norton) and in Bradford-on-Avon BA15 1SQ (within easy reach of Chippenham and Trowbridge).

There is something you might need to talk about, but where do you turn?

Talking with friends and family is invaluable, but they are involved in your life and it might feel too risky to expose them to your darker thoughts and feelings. There could be too much at stake. This may be when a counsellor is just the right person to turn to, someone with whom there is nothing at stake.

Counselling and therapy can help you to:

clarify and articulate what you are thinking and feeling

see how your past influences & continues to affect your present life

see what part you play in your relationships to others and the world

face painful and difficult feelings

prioritise what is most important to you so you can look forward with greater confidence.

People have come to me for counselling for a variety of reasons including:

Depression and feeling life is pointless and useless

Anxiety, agitation and panic attacks

Trying to please others and feeling invisible and unappreciated

Eating disorders

The legacy of childhood sexual abuse

Relationship difficulties

The shock of having a baby and the changes it makes in your life

The turmoil of being an adolescent & trying to find your place in life
