In my practice, the therapeutic relationship is a space where difficult life experiences can be worked through. I take an integrative approach, in which I encourage you to be curious about how your difficulties relate to previous experiences and your expectations for yourself and others. This often brings up feelings that can seem unwelcome and I work with you to help you understand unwanted emotions and connect to your body. My approach aims to deepen your self-awareness in the here-and-now as this helps you to understand and feel compassion for yourself, and be okay in who you are.

Hello! A very warm welcome to you. As we face these uncertain times in our world, we find ourselves coming up against many challenges that may be exacerbating our existing internal struggles. It feels more important than ever to find some sense of certainty and purpose in these difficult times. The very idea of isolation can bring on fear and anxiety, uncertainty around our livelihoods can trigger old and new coping strategies that may feel damaging to one’s self.

What my clients most commonly seek is guidance to help them understand their own emotions, responses and rules that they hold about life. My clients are not dictated to, but supported in learning about what is helpful and rational in their lives, and what is targeted for change. Our honest talks involve a lot of empathy and humour, as there are common themes that we all recognise as causing issues in our lives. My clients are very much individuals, spoken to without judgement and encouraged to make changes to their thinking and then behaviour which will help free them from well-worn paths and being 'stuck'.

Why Seek Therapy?
Feeling stuck or overwhelmed? You're not alone. Are you feeling down, unsure about your emotions, overwhelmed, or just need someone to listen and understand you? Many people turn to therapy for various reasons, and often the hardest part is overcoming the belief that our struggles are ordinary and we should just "get on with it." But reaching out can make a world of difference.

Many people come to therapy feeling stuck in ways they cannot fully explain. They may find themselves caught in self-criticism, emotionally shut down, overwhelmed in relationships, or repeating patterns that no longer feel workable.
I work relationally and place importance on what happens in the here and now between therapist and client. Often the ways we learned to protect ourselves in earlier relationships continue into adult life, even when they begin to limit us. Therapy can become a place to notice these patterns more clearly and experiment with different ways of relating to ourselves and others.

Hi, I'm Kes, I'm a lived experience informed counsellor and most of the people I work with are neurodivergent and/or queer-identifying. There's so much drama and heartache in many of our lives, yet I firmly believe there should be more love, peace and understanding - and that it is possible! Maybe you're here because you want to show up for yourself and others, honour your authenticity and your needs, and make the most of your precious time on earth. This is where therapy begins. It may be hard work, however you don't have to do it alone. Try up to six sessions to see if therapy benefits you, and if you want to continue with more.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with therapists of a specific gender. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
