Laura Keyte, MA, DHIP, Psychotherapy in Bath

Welcome to my website. If you are looking for a psychotherapist in Bath, for yourself or someone close to you, this and the following pages will give you some idea of who I am, how I work, my training and qualifications, where I work and my fees.

I am a UKCP registered psychotherapist, and Member of BACP. I work from James Street West and Openings, both in central Bath. I am one of a group of qualified pratitioners at both locations. I trained with BCPC, a nationally recognised psychotherapy training organisation, and I adhere to the ethics and code of conduct of my training and registering bodies. I also work for Wessex Counselling Service, and am a member of Wiltshire Counselling and Psychotherapy Group and Bristol Psychotherapy Association.

I was talking recently to a new acquaintance and mentioned, in passing, that I was a psychotherapist. He immediately told me that he had had psychotherapy for a while, 10 years previously, and it had "saved his life". I can't promise to save a life but his experience echoed something I have heard many times. We can all experience those dark moments, months or even years when, even though, outwardly, we may be functioning well, inside all is bleak. We think of ourselves as mad, bad, sad or all three of these, and it seems impossible that this will ever change. Psychotherapy at this time can make all the difference in the world. It can help us to see ourselves and the world with new eyes and help us to value what was good in ourselves (and in the world) all along, we were simply too distressed to recognise it.

I generally offer an initial session (see page 4 for information on sessions and fees) which helps you to clarify what you hope to get from psychotherapy and whether we can work well together. There is no obligation to continue after this first session. In many cases being able to talk, sometimes for the first time, about your concerns, brings great relief.

Both my consulting rooms are in central Bath. Both are less than 10 minutes walk from train and bus stations and less than 5 minutes walk from city car parks. If you are looking for psychotherapy in Bath, Somerset, do contact me. You’ll find my telephone numbers at the top of each page.
