My practice is open Monday to Friday, between the hours of 9am and 8pm. Sessions can be online, by phone or outdoor/walk and talk (subject to daylight hours).

I'm Kevina, a trauma-informed, neuro-affirming counsellor working with adults. Counselling is a place where your voice matters. Where you matter. Somewhere to feel supported to be yourself. To talk about all that has happened to you, and the legacy it has left behind. Comfortable in the knowledge that you are accepted unconditionally, whatever you are thinking, feeling or experiencing.

Areas of life this may relate to are:

• abuse, trauma
• grief, loss, bereavement, pet loss
• relationships, separation, divorce
• anxiety, depression, stress
• loneliness, self-esteem
• work, studies
• redundancy, retirement
• illness, ageing
• miscarriage, infertility, baby loss

In our sessions, we are likely to focus on what's happening in your life now, important events from your past, and your hopes and wishes for the future. All within a confidential space, at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

Be in no doubt that seeking support is a mark of strength. Counselling can help you to develop deeper self-awareness and understanding, to strengthen foundations for the future.

Based in Eden Valley on the Cumbria/Yorkshire Dales border, I am insured to provide counselling services UK-wide, though may be of particular appeal if you live in Kirkby Stephen, Appleby-in-Westmorland, Penrith, Kendal, Carlisle, Lake District, Barnard Castle, Richmond, Sedbergh, Hawes, Kirkby Lonsdale and surrounding areas.

The counselling sessions I offer last 50 minutes, but can be shorter or longer according to need. Sessions typically happen weekly or fortnightly, you choose.

An integrative counsellor, my therapeutic approach is a blend of person-centred and psychodynamic, and through a trauma-informed lens.

In addition to counselling, I bring professional knowledge and experience of the NHS, adult social care, charity sector, prison system and financial services.

I offer a free introductory call, with no obligation for you to proceed to a paid session, if that's what you decide.

Pricing: £45 per 50-minute session. £35 reduced rate for those who may benefit.

Our first session is an Introductory Call on phone or Zoom, and is free of charge.

This call enables us to get to know each other a little. You will describe your reasons for coming to counselling and what you're seeking. I will explain my ways of working and the ethical requirements I adhere to. Together we will discuss how sessions might be organised to best suit you.

The introductory call is important, as it enables us both to gauge if I am the right counsellor for you at this time.

During this call, we may also begin the initial assessment and agree on a preferred time and day for your first full counselling session.

I look forward to meeting you.
