I work from my own counselling room and currently have availability on a Wednesday and Thursday at various times during the day.

I offer face-to-face sessions, short or long term counselling.

I am open to having some sessions by telephone or walking but ask that at least the initial 3 sessions take place in person in my therapy room.

Sessions last for 50 minutes and take place either weekly or fortnightly.

Hi I'm Kay.  I am an integrative counsellor which means that I use a combination of approaches to help you explore any difficulties you may be facing, gain some clarity and understanding and consider any changes you might want to make.    

During our sessions we will have a therapeutic conversation. Being listened to and feeling heard can be incredibly validating and my aim is to provide a space in which you feel able to share your story with me.  

My approach is tailored very much to you so together we will determine the focus of our work and decide how best to proceed to help you find a positive way forward. This may involve looking at a challenging situation and/or considering how your thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact.  We might consider key relationships in your life currently and also if relevant past relationships and other experiences that may have an impact on you at the present time.  

My work with individual adults and young people over 18 has included working with the effects of significant life changes and loss, anxiety, low self- esteem and relationship difficulties.

I have worked extensively with the bereaved, helping them explore their loss and grief and gain some understanding of the bereavement process, having volunteered with the national charity Cruse for many years.  

I offer an initial telephone conversation when we can introduce ourselves and I can answer any questions you may have about the way I work.   We can arrange this by email and before we speak I will ask you to complete a form giving some basic information including your reason for seeking therapy.  There will be no charge for this call.
