Professional Background of Aurelia Sleigh Therapist Bristol

Before joining Priory, Aurelia worked in a secondary school as a school therapist. She helped students navigate complex mental health challenges while building strong relationships with local CAMHS teams. These collaborations ensured a safe, supportive network for young people needing consistent care.

Aurelia has operated her private practice since 2019. She works with both adults and young people aged 11 to 18. Her experience spans various charity settings, including those focusing on addiction, mental health, and carer support. This broad background enables her to approach therapy from multiple, informed angles.

Specialist Training and Advanced Therapeutic Skills

Aurelia’s professional development continues with specialized training in narcissistic abuse, trauma, and emotionally abusive relationships. She also holds a Level 7 Advanced Diploma in Counselling Supervision. These qualifications reflect her dedication to offering effective, trauma-informed care.

Her CPD courses include:

• Emotional abuse and narcissistic traits

• Complex trauma and shame work

• OCD interventions using CBT and ERP

• Childhood sexual abuse (The Body Keeps the Score)

• Transactional Analysis, narrative therapy, and compassion-focused models

• CPTSD and supervision techniques

Each course strengthens her ability to adapt to the individual needs of her clients.

A Focus on Relational and Integrative Therapy

Aurelia believes in a collaborative approach. Therapy with her is not a one-size-fits-all experience. Instead, she adapts her methods to match each client’s needs. This integrative method supports growth in self-compassion, self-worth, and self-confidence.

Her ethical, relational approach is grounded in transparency and empathy. She follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) Ethical Framework, ensuring her clients feel seen, heard, and supported.

Research and Community Contributions in Bristol

While completing her BA (Hons) in Integrative Counselling, Aurelia launched a pilot therapeutic group for individuals with binge eating disorder (BED). Working in partnership with Bristol Mind, she identified gaps in local services and responded with innovation. The success of the pilot group confirmed a strong demand for combined group and one-to-one support options.
