© Bradley Riddell
My name is Bradley Riddell, and I founded this practice as a Registered Member of the British Association of Counsellors & Psychotherapists (MBACP). My mission is to offer an effective, embodied therapeutic approach rooted in the belief that everyone has the inherent power to choose change, regardless of their past. Having experienced the depths of addiction and the journey of recovery and relapse firsthand, I bring both a professional and profoundly personal understanding to the work, ensuring a supportive, empathetic, and non-judgemental space.
I am an integratively trained therapist with over 20 years of experience who continually develops my practice to ensure the therapy fits you, rather than expecting you to fit the therapy. My training includes advanced approaches such as Emotional Memory Reconsolidation (EMR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and hypno‑informed methods, all designed to uncover and reframe deep‑seated emotional patterns. At the centre of my work is a compassionate connection. I support those who feel isolated in their struggles, helping them move from automatic, reflexive responses towards conscious choices that foster lasting change.

Ready To Take The First Step Towards True Freedom?
Embodied, Integrative Approach
Your therapy will be tailored to you, using approaches that consider how your body "thinks" and how this influences your mind. This method directly addresses the visceral, felt sense of your struggles, not just the cognitive thoughts.
Reclaim Your Freedom
I challenge the idea that your addiction or anxiety is stronger than you. By observing your "embodied thoughts", you gain the space to choose a new response, leading to genuine freedom and growth as described by Victor Frankl.
Professional & Personal Insight
I am a registered BACP member with over 20 years of proven experience, combined with my own history of addiction and recovery. This powerful combination ensures a deeply caring, knowledgeable, and effective therapeutic relationship.

I provide compassionate, professional support for individuals facing challenges with addiction, anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties. Take the first step towards reclaiming your sense of self; the freedom to choose change is within reach.
Substance Use Counselling (Addiction)
Safely explore the deeper, often unconscious, emotional and rational reasons behind your compulsive behaviours and unhelpful patterns. This approach moves beyond simply managing symptoms by working with your "embodied cognitions" to fashion new, healthier responses. Reclaim agency over your thoughts and turn a reflexive reaction into a genuine choice point.
Anxiety & Depression Counselling
Get help to overcome the overwhelming fear, low motivation, and sadness that hold you back. Counselling therapy focuses on befriending your nervous system and adjusting the intensity of your embodied thoughts that drive depressive and anxious states. Restore a feeling of "ok-ness", and work towards a life with renewed joy and motivation.
Relationship Counselling
I provide a supportive, non-judgemental environment for you and your partner, tailored to help you find a new way through current difficulties. These struggles are often echoes of past dynamics or trauma replaying in the present relationship. I will work to identify and transform these patterns, helping you both foster a more nuanced, accepting, and conscious connection.
Bradley Riddell
Ex-Substance User
"I was a drinker a drug taker and a seller before coming to see Bradley. I now attend AA & NA meetings, have been sober for the longest ever time in my life and feel better and better with every day that goes by and I could never have done it without Bradley’s help."
Ex-Substance User
"If you’re in a place you don’t want to be in I would urge you to go and seek him out. He helped me and has helped many others too. He really heard my story in a way no one had before. He helped me to see and access the pain behind my doggedly insistent happy exterior and deal with it. He seemed to be able to reach into my soul and ease the troubles that lay there but always without judgement or superiority. I felt truly respected and valued. I now feel vibrant, alive and free. Thank you Bradley."
Trauma Counselling
Work safely to process and integrate past overwhelming experiences that continue to impact your present emotional state and reflexive responses. I use an embodied approach to help your nervous system move out of its fear-based reactions and into a state of safety. This helps you heal from the past and transform fear-shot responses into conscious, grounded choices.
