At the moment, I currently have some availability on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. I normally work between the hours of 9am to 7pm. I am available between 9am-7pm for telephone enquiries. If I am unable to answer your call, please leave a message, as I may be in session with clients. I will endeavour to return your call within 24hrs. Alternatively, I can be contacted through my website or via WhatsApp.

My name is Kevin, and I am a qualified integrative counsellor. My practice aims to offer a safe, empathic and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. 

Whether you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply needing clarity, I am here to help you find your way.

I have worked with a diverse range of clients and am experienced in working on a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, loss and bereavement, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, and suicidal ideation.

When our fears and worries start to dominate us, it can lead us to feel increased levels of stress and anxiety, making it difficult for us to manage our emotional well-being in our day-to-day lives. In these moments, therapy can offer a safe non-judgmental space to explore these feelings and emotions, not only helping us to navigate our current challenges, build resilience, and develop healthier coping strategies but also equipping us with the tools and confidence needed to face future difficulties with greater ease and assurance. Therapy offers the chance to take a look at the root causes of our distress, fostering personal growth and healing.

I use an integrative approach, which means I combine different therapeutic techniques to meet your unique needs. This flexible approach allows us to explore what is most meaningful to you, whether it's understanding past experiences, improving relationships, or finding healthier ways to cope with life's challenges.

At the heart of my practice is the therapeutic relationship between client and counsellor, which, while collaborative, is always driven by you, the client and tailored to what you need at the time and is built upon trust, openness, and honesty. 

I offer flexible options to access therapy, such as face-to-face, online, and phone. I can provide both short-term and long-term sessions. The length of time we may work together will depend on what you feel you need. You may find that you only need a few sessions to get help with a specific issue or longer term for more complex issues. Short-term work tends to be around 6-8 sessions, however, we can discuss available options together, as you are in control of your counselling journey.

I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (Íø±¬ÃÅ) and adhere to their ethical framework and guidelines. As a condition of my membership, I am required to undertake regular training to ensure my knowledge is up to date. I am also required to undertake monthly clinical supervision sessions, where I am able to confidentially discuss my client work, seek advice, and best practice to ensure that I am working ethically and in my clients' best interests, as their well-being is my highest priority.

I completely understand how coming to see a counsellor for the first time could be scary. Sharing your experiences with someone who is a complete stranger can feel particularly unsettling. I want to reassure you that there is nothing to be fearful about.

The first session is all about getting to know each other a little better, to give me an understanding of the issues that may be troubling you, and for you to find out if you will feel comfortable working with me. I will ask what you would like to achieve from therapy, and together we can set some goals that we can review regularly during our time together. These sessions are all about you, to allow you to discuss whatever you like completely confidentially within a safe environment.
