As an integrative counsellor and therapeutic coach, I’m passionate about providing a warm, empathetic, and empowering space for my clients, and I'd love the chance to do the same for you! My specialties include supporting clients who want to prioritise their own self-development, and helping those experiencing depression, grief, burnout, identity issues, and difficulties in their relationships (with family, friends, or partners). I warmly welcome clients from all backgrounds and walks of life, especially including those who are new to therapy (or talking about themselves at all!), neurodivergent, or from minoritised ethnic groups.

You may be struggling in a relationship, feeling disconnected from yourself or your sexuality, carrying the impact of trauma, or finding yourself caught in patterns that no longer serve you. Sometimes the difficulty is clear. Sometimes there is simply a sense that something needs attention. I work with individuals and couples facing challenges around relationships, intimacy, sexuality, trauma, shame, anxiety, attachment, and emotional wellbeing.

Hello, I'm Kiara and I am a person-centred therapist. You may be seeking support for processing a difficult experience, or more understanding of yourself, or perhaps you have a feeling that something simply doesn't 'feel right' in your life and you want to explore what that feeling could be about. My approach welcomes all that you bring at your pace. I believe people are the ultimate experts in themselves and I offer empathy and curiosity so you can feel free to talk through things without judgement. Every person is unique in their identity and experiences and I believe that deserves to be honoured and heard with care.

Therapy is a gift on the journey of self-development..Is 2025 the year?

Are you tired of feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected from yourself, or exhausted from trying to manage alone? I’m a Clinical Psychologist offering a warm, collaborative space to help people make sense of emotional difficulties, relationship patterns, and changes in identity or sense of self. I’m particularly passionate about supporting people navigating questions of belonging, shame and self-acceptance, and impacts like depression and anxiety and how isolating and draining this can feel. I aim to help people feel more connected to themselves and less alone in their struggles.

Are you coping on the outside but feeling overwhelmed and unsure of yourself? Whatever the reason for therapy, I face issues with my clients to share the burden.  Bearing with someone in their vulnerability and suffering is a great privilege.

I believe that therapy is personal journey that should focus on the individual needs and personality; therapy is a non judgemental process based on trust and partnership from both parties, the client and the therapist. The focus of my approach is to understand the person's emotional sufferance and difficulties in order to promote inner wellbeing and growth. I look at past and present experiences to gather a sense of the person in front of me and find the best way to help them. The main aim of my job is to improve people's quality of life and self-worth.

I work with adults of all ages and adolescents from the age of 11 years. They come to my practice with a variety of issues including: anxiety, depression, relationships, family dynamics, self esteem, repeating negative patterns, work issues, loss, eating disorders. There are no quick fixes in therapy, it is a process which can take time before results can be felt.

We all face challenges and difficult seasons in life that can leave us feeling stuck or unsure of how to move forward. This may show up as low mood, anxiety, overwhelming thoughts, or difficulty managing emotions. As a therapist qualified in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), I provide a supportive and compassionate space where we can explore these challenges together and work towards meaningful change. Starting therapy or opening up to someone new can feel daunting, especially if it’s your first experience of therapy. I understand the uncertainty this can bring, and I aim to make the process feel as comfortable as possible.

I offer a warm, empathic, and non-judgmental space where you can bring whatever is on your mind. Together, we can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace. My approach is integrative, which means I draw from a range of therapeutic models and tools to suit your individual needs. This might include working with both past and present experiences, looking at coping mechanisms that no longer serve you and finding new ones that do, and attending to what’s happening in the body as well as the mind. I’m a UKCP registered trainee psychotherapist currently completing a Master’s in Integrative Psychotherapy.
