I have experience of working with both young people and adults with co-dependency, self-esteem, loss, anxiety, depression, relational issues and a variety of addictions. I understand the importance of working together to help you gain understanding of your patterns of behaviour and how these relate to the way you view yourself and the world around you. Having worked in health and social care for the last 16 years, I have an experiential understanding of the relationship between mental and physical health. This twinned with my qualification means I am able to build the most appropriate strategies to help you work towards your goal/

Hi I'm Kevyn and I am a counsellor that can help you with LGBTQIA+ issues, including gender identity challenges, trans issues, sexuality, polyamory, consensual non-monogamy and kink. I've also got experience helping with bereavement, abuse, trauma, anxiety, low moods, confidence and many other areas. Most importantly, it can be hard or scary to make that first step to contact a counsellor so I want to work with you to make that as easy as possible, so offer a free, 30-minute introductory phone or video call so we can get to know each other.

I am a warm, friendly person and a good listener. I have a very empathic understanding and vast experiences from my own personal life. This has shaped me to be the person I am today. Things from our childhoods and certain traumas, can have us acting out behaviours that can be damaging to us. I have experience working with relationship breakdowns, alcohol addiction, depression, anxiety and self harm. I have worked with adolescents and adults of all disabilities. I've worked a great deal with confidence building and low self-esteem. I can help you recognise these behaviours and what triggers them.

I am a post graduate qualified BACP registered Psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor with fifteen years experience. I work using the internal Family Systems and Intimacy from the Inside Out models, with a Humanist and Somatic core training. I work with many different life challenges, and over the years have specialised in trauma, complex trauma, relational trauma and shame. Supporting you to process what has happened to you and move on from your past to live your life fully. I work face to face or online with individuals, couples and groups.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, depressed, low, anxious, stressed, lost, stuck? Perhaps you are struggling with difficulties at university or work? Or maybe you’ve experienced a trauma, loss or bereavement or have problems in your relationship that are affecting your daily life? Whatever the reason you are reading this, talking through your thoughts, feelings, fears and experiences with a trained professional can help you start to make sense of them.

If you feel you've got unanswered or unresolved questions, I offer a dedicated time and a safe, confidential and nonjudgmental space to explore your past, present and future. Getting back in touch with ourselves instead of feeling lost is fundamental to having satisfaction with life. Giving to ourselves means we can enjoy being alive as well as fulfilling our responsibilities and having pleasurable and rewarding relationships. If you have any questions, please feel free to make contact.

Have you been struggling alone with difficulties or concerns and need some help? Do you feel overwhelmed by emotions such as anxiety, depression or anger? Maybe you have noticed patterns of behaviour which are no longer useful, and seem to be stopping you from moving on. Sometimes we know why we are distressed, other time we feel stuck and don't know why. Whatever your reasons, the fact you are here means that you want to make some changes in your life and you have already taken the first brave step to reach out.

Have you been feeling anxious and overwhelmed lately and unsure how to move forward? Do you doubt yourself and your abilities?Have you tried your best to change the way you feel, but it's not working? Maybe it's having an impact on your relationship with your loved ones and more importantly how you feel about yourself. You might feel lonely and tired of feeling stuck, but things don't have to stay this way.

Are you feeling stressed, anxious or overwhelmed coping with the challenges of life? I can offer a safe and confidential space to explore your life and the challenges you are facing. Perhaps you are experiencing negative thoughts or a low mood and are finding it difficult to find any joy in life or are having difficulties connecting with others? Are you feeling underconfident in your abilities to deal with life's challenges. Perhaps the patterns of thinking or behaviour that previously helped you cope with life are no longer helping you?

Do you feel overwhelmed by your feelings? Do they impact on your confidence and day-to-day life? Or perhaps you have experienced painful losses, abuse or traumatic events that are affecting you? Do you have patterns of behaviour that no longer feel beneficial to you? Sometimes we think and act in certain ways that function to protect and preserve us. These have felt necessary in the past, but are no longer useful and can instead impact negatively on our life.

There are times in our lives when we all need a little help. When things just become to much for us to handle alone. I can help you cope with a wide range of anxiety, emotional problems and relationship issues. From Bereavement, Depression, Stress and Anxiety, Family Issues, Addiction, Eating Disorders, Marriage Counselling to mention only a few. I am a BACP registered Psychodynamic Counsellor also using CBT and Mindfulness. I offer a caring professional and confidential counselling service in Biggleswade and Royston and have worked for many years in commerce and industry so understand the pressures of work place stress.

I am currently able to work face to face, via skype or phone for individuals or couples. You may be concerned about your relationships, sad about the past or just want to look forward to your future.You may want to feel that you can live a happier life. You may be fed up with finding yourself in the same situation over and over again. You may want to be able to better able to listen to yourself and others.
