The Harbourside Practice – Talking Therapy Rooms, Bristol

About Us

Nestled in the heart of Bristol’s historic waterfront, The Harbourside Practice provides a warm, professional setting for talking therapy. Located in a distinguished Georgian terrace on Redcliffe Parade East, our practice overlooks the peaceful waters with beautiful views towards Welsh Back, Castle Park and Queen’s Square.

We offer three thoughtfully refurbished consulting rooms designed for counsellors, talking therapists, and psychologists, complemented by a welcoming waiting area. Our space blends charm and tranquillity with practicality, making it ideal for both practitioners and their clients.

We are not a walk-in clinic but a dedicated venue for self-employed professionals in the talking therapy field. Each practitioner operates independently and meets strict professional standards, ensuring a high level of trust and care for every client.
