We all struggle to make sense of experiences at times, for example, when our life is in transition as we are leaving home or taking on new caring responsibilities. As a counsellor I can offer the opportunity to talk in confidence. I have worked in mental health for over 20 years and have trained as a social worker as well as a counsellor. Social networks and our sense of connection, can contribute to our emotional resilience and ability to face life's challenges. I can help you find a broader perspective and your own way forward.

Are you stuck, bewildered, unable to work out what is happening? Do you find that confiding with friends and family isn't necessarily that helpful? It may be time to explore with someone with a different approach what can change. Do you want to move out of a current pattern of thinking or behaving? I work with a solution focus in some sessions when the goal is to move an obstacle that is often our thinking and responding. I can offer an empathic and safe environment to work through life changes and transitions such as loss and grief, divorce or betrayal. I work especially well with shame based thoughts and behaviours.

I specialize in trauma-informed therapy using my unique RESET method (Relational, Empowered, Somatic, EMDR Therapy).
Are anxiety and overwhelm your norm? If so, your survival system may be stuck in overdrive, leaving you in a constant state of stress. This is often a trauma response. I help clients like you heal by exploring how past experiences impact your present, while providing tools to regulate your nervous system and break free from old patterns. Together, we’ll work at your pace to bring lasting change, empowering you to regain control and move forward with confidence.

My name is Kelly, thank you for visiting my website. I am trained in a variety of different therapies which help me collaborate with clients to find the right approaches and techniques that work for you, no two people are the same, and one size does not fit all. This is a two-way process to fine tune and see what helps you best. A large part of this is talking together, I also work somatically (checking in with the breath, bodily symptoms of emotional distress) and can offer creative approaches if this is of interest.
I offer a free 25 minute phone or video call conversation to see if we would be a good fit to work together.

Has a recent or past negative experience left you feeling lost or stuck? Maybe you’ve tried to just get on with life but inside you still feel broken, replaying events in your mind and asking yourself why or how this happened. Perhaps you know what happened to you was traumatic or maybe you’ve told yourself it “wasn’t that bad”. Some days you seem to feel all the emotions all at once, and other days you feel nothing at all. Other people simply don’t understand, which may leave you feeling alone and like you don’t matter. You are not alone and you do matter. You deserve freedom and peace from your past experiences.

Often, bringing a new found sense of peace, clarity and joy.

If you are reading this then it is likely that you are struggling in some way. Feelings of anxiety, worry, overwhelm and depression can feel extremely frightening and lonely. You may be struggling with relationships or consumed with worries about your past or future. Maybe you have low self esteem or feel overwhelmed and that no one understands you. Life can be challenging and taking that first step towards counselling can be quite daunting at first; you may not know where to begin or feel worried about opening up. You are not alone and I can offer you a safe, supportive and accepting environment without judgement.

Counselling can benefit us all at some point in our lives. Sometimes it feels as though life or our relationships are no longer working and the pressures of modern life can get too much. Sometimes we feel too lonely or scared to face life alone. We may feel overwhelmed and out of control, meaning we change our behaviours to try and cope. That is why therapy can be beneficial to explore a change of direction, lifestyle or thoughts patterns, relaxation or self-care, or simply to just be with another whilst you take time to talk things through.

I have trained for years in somatic therapy and CBT.
What happened to us, doesn't have to define us. The narrative of our issues can be transformed in something different. A healing story that can give you empowerment and freedom. We can feel angry, anxious, frozen, stuck but we may not always know why. You may look for happiness or you feel you are lost. Or perhaps, you still don't know what's missing. Regardless, I understand it's important for you to know how to cope and what really matters to you. Finding and challenging your personal story, may give you the answers you are looking for. I can help with that!

Somatic Counsellors
How does somatic therapy work?
Somatic therapy is a form of treatment that focuses on how the body and mind are interconnected. In this approach, physical symptoms are addressed because they may in fact signal emotional distress. Somatic therapists combine mindfulness, talk therapy, breathwork, yoga, dance, and physical manipulations of the body to help patients become more attuned to what their body is telling them.
Is EMDR a somatic therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of somatic therapy, as it incorporates mental and physical principles. EMDR involves remembering a traumatic experience while allowing one’s eyes to track a side-to-side visual stimulus from a therapist. This lateral eye movement is believed to diminish the painful power of the memory so that it can be discussed with a therapist.
Is somatic therapy evidence-based?
Somatic therapy has been researched and studied, and some forms of somatic therapy are found to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions. Because somatic therapy encompasses many techniques, some, such as EMDR and meditation, have been studied more than others.
What is somatic trauma therapy?
Somatic trauma therapy is based on the idea that when people experience trauma, they can become stuck in the “freeze” part of a “fight, flight, or freeze” response. In this state, trauma can manifest itself both mentally and physically—through tension in the muscles, anxiety, and stress. Popular forms of somatic trauma therapy include EMDR, sensorimotor therapy, and somatic experiencing.
