Counselling is for anyone and everyone. You might have a specific thing you want to work on – pain from your past or worries about the future. Or you might have a general sense that something is stuck, that this isn’t quite the life you’d expected. ​Counselling offers the opportunity for us to develop a creative partnership , where we can work together to explore both what is troubling you and your potential in life and to support you to find a sense of freedom to be your true self. Counselling is not an easy option, it can uncover painful feelings, but it can be a step on the way to feeling better and more at peace with yourself.

Are you in need of an in-depth, reflective, supportive dialogue? Maybe you feel that something needs to change in your life but are not sure what or how; or are going through a challenging transition; or feel you’re not quite being the person you’d like to be; or are struggling with a difficult decision. If that's you, I can help you to to make sense of things and move forward by disentangling what really matters to you from old or habitual beliefs; understanding the old, unhelpful patterns that are holding you back; and opening the way to new possibilities so you can start moving towards rather than away from what you value.

Counselling can provide you with much needed clarity when life seems full up, with no room left to think. As a qualified Counsellor and Psychotherapist I provide a non-judgemental, safe and confidential space to explore issues that you are facing, to look more closely at the impact that these are having in your life and to begin to gain new perspectives. As an integrative practitioner I am able to work flexibly with you, with my work being informed by different approaches including Gestalt, Person-centred, Psychodynamic and CBT. This means that I am able to work in a way that will best suit your individual needs.

I believe the most important thing in counselling is to develop a relationship of trust and confidence between therapist and client. I provide clients with a safe, confidential and warm space for them to reflect on the challenges they bring. Coming to counselling can be a daunting step; as a result it is that much more important to come into an accepting, empathic, non-judgemental environment. I take the view that there is no single approach that can be helpful to you in all situations. This gives more choice of how you want to look at your issues and creates flexibility to tailor therapy to your individual needs and aspirations.

I have extensive experience working with identity and relationship issues. I offer a safe and confidential place to talk about your challenges or concerns that may be confusing, troubling, painful or uncomfortable for you.

NB: I am currently on maternity leave until Sept 2021. As a holistic psychologist, I work with families, couples and individuals facing a variety of issues. My speciality is working with anxiety, trauma or abuse, low-self esteem, work-related stress and relationship issues. I also offer executive coaching in the corporate sphere, focusing on building psychological resilience, including improving work life balance, sleep and relationships.

You might seek help for a specific problem such as obsessional behaviour, social anxiety or psycho-somatic symptoms. Or you may have more general feelings of anxiety or depression associated with dissatisfaction in work, the challenge of forming satisfying relationships or issues with money, food or sex. You may feel unfulfilled, bored or creatively inhibited. All of these difficulties affect the quality of your life. Psychotherapy and counselling provide an effective treatment for just such disorders and concerns and can contribute significantly to your mental health, sense of well-being and to managing your life more effectively.

Hi, my name is Kayleigh and I am a Counsellor and Youth Mentor specialising in working with those who have experienced domestic abuse and young people aged 14 and above. I have over ten years experience providing support through a range of life's challenges, from ongoing personal struggles to sudden situations of crisis. I believe in providing a supportive, non-judgmental space to allow you to explore and navigate through any difficulties you may be facing. Counselling can also create a time for you to get to know yourself better, reflect on personal experiences and work out the best way forward for you.

If you are tired of feeling negative, anxious, upset and exhausted, I can help.

With a professional and compassionate helping hand, we can unlock your potential for happiness.

The most important part of any psychological therapy is the quality of the relationship between the client and therapist. Feeling heard, understood and accepted form the cornerstone of effective therapy. I pride myself on being able to develop a trusting rapport from people from all backgrounds. I work to enable you to develop your own resources and skills. Only we can change our own lives - but we can't do it alone. Therapy is a journey with a therapist as a fellow traveler. I welcome people of all ethnicities, sexual orientations and identities.

Whatever issues you are facing right now, I offer a safe, confidential and judgement-free space in which we can reflect on them and, by better understanding your conflicts and experiences, grow in self-awareness. I believe in the importance of building a trusting relationship with my clients, so that we can work together towards effecting change and constructing meaningful relationships.

Finding the right therapist can be a daunting process. I believe that it is important for you to feel a positive connection with your therapist if you are to receive the most beneficial experience from Psychotherapy. I believe that the healer is within you, but I also understand that it is difficult for anyone to self heal without support My purpose is not only to assist you with the healing process, but also to facilitate your change and growth and help you to naturally awaken your own life supporting behaviours.

*** Due to COVID19 I am only working online or over the phone *** Many of us have times in our lives when we feel the need for some extra support. Perhaps we are lacking confidence and self-esteem, going through relationship difficulties, feeling depressed, anxious, experiencing stressful life changes such as bereavement, divorce, or redundancy. Perhaps now is the right time to address long-standing issues – or maybe we find ourselves at a crossroads and feel unsure of ourselves and of which way to turn.

I have worked as psychologist, psychotherapist and family therapist since 1993. I have worked in many contexts including: a senior practitioner in NHS mental health, in global organisations working with employee burnout, stress and anxiety, and with couples and families experiencing conflict and separation. I support clients during difficult life transitions including divorce, redundancy and bereavement. Many are experiencing anxiety, depression and struggling with various addictions. Our work explores what else is going on beyond the problem, and reaches towards deeply buried, forgotten inner strength.
