About Faenia Moore

During a twenty year career working in television, I retrained as a psychotherapist. It was a big change to make mid-career and I am so grateful that I did, as working as a psychotherapist has enriched my quality of life both personally and professionally. I have been in private practice in Bristol and online for the last 10 years, seeing both individuals and couples.

Training and qualifications

I hold an MA in psychotherapy and a Diploma in Humanistic Integrative Psychotherapy (Dip HIP). Integrative means I trained across several therapeutic traditions rather than committing to one, allowing me to attune to what you the client might need at any particular time. Alongside the formal qualifications, years of clinical experience and personal reflection have shaped how I work now.

Registrations

I am registered with the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP), working within the ethical framework. In practical terms that means my training and ongoing professional development are held to a published standard, and that there is an independent body to approach if you ever have a concern. My registration can be checked directly: the badge on this page links through to my profile. I am also a recognised provider with AXA Health and Aviva, so clients with an eligible policy from either may be able to claim some or all of their sessions through their insurance.

How I work

The work with clients in my private practice varies from person to person, as everyone has different needs. At its heart though, psychotherapy is a collaborative process, not something you do on your own, but something we build together. I bring an intersubjective and person-centred way of working, which means I pay close attention not just to what you bring, but to what happens between us. In this way, the relationship itself becomes part of how understanding and change take shape. Working in this explorative and supportive way, we create space for you to access greater self-knowledge. Often finding things together that neither of us could have reached alone.
