Welcome! I'm Keturah, a qualified children and young people's counsellor, and I'm passionate about creating a safe, nurturing space where every child can feel heard, valued, and supported. Working with children is more than a profession for me—it's a calling. I believe that every child has an innate capacity for healing and growth when given the right support and environment. Through gentle, child-led therapy, I help young people navigate their emotions, build resilience, and discover their own strength.

I can help you to relax and improve your sleep, helping you to draw on your own innate resources and regain your independence.
I have always been aware of, and interested in, the relationship between emotional and physical well-being. It is now widely acknowledged that the state of our mind and emotions impacts on our physical being, with our bodies expressing emotional distress as some form of ill health or disease. It is not uncommon for unwanted behaviours like smoking, drinking or eating to excess, or other forms of compulsive and addictive behaviours, to become problematic when emotional issues and psychological trauma are not addressed effectively and our needs are not met in balance.

From the outside your life looks capable and successful, yet inside you feel overwhelmed, anxious or caught in patterns you cannot seem to shift. You may already understand a great deal about yourself. You have reflected deeply, read widely or even tried therapy before. But understanding your patterns is not the same as being free of them. Working with me means slowing things down and being supported to feel what has been avoided, guided by someone experienced in working with emotions, the body and the mind. As those protective patterns loosen, you begin to trust yourself and your instincts again.

I am especially interested in how earlier experiences, attachment patterns, and current demands shape emotional wellbeing, relationships, and coping in the present. I offer psychologically informed, evidence-based support aimed not only at symptom relief, but at deeper understanding, resilience, and meaningful change.

Sleep or Insomnia Counsellors
How effective is treatment for insomnia?
The most effective treatments for insomnia are behavioral techniques that reduce anxiety, including anxiety about falling asleep, and allow the body’s natural cycles to be recalibrated. The most common treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), which researchers have found to be more useful than medication, with rates of success as high as 80 percent.

Are there specific medications for sleep problems?
There are many medications, both over-the-counter and prescription that treat sleep problems. Supplements such as melatonin are popular and may help, though there is little evidence that it is more effective than a placebo. Prescription medications such as zolpidem are sometimes prescribed.

Are there natural treatments for sleep problems?
There are many natural treatments for everyday sleep problems. Reducing blue-light emitting screens, setting a regular bedtime, regular exercise, reducing caffeine and nicotine consumption, and keeping the bedroom dark and cool at night are all lifestyle changes that can help those who struggle with sleep but may not reach the level of an insomnia diagnosis.

What’s the difference between having trouble falling asleep and insomnia?
Life events, stress, and anxiety can lead to sleepless nights for everyone from time to time. To be diagnosed with insomnia, a patient must experience trouble falling asleep, trouble remaining asleep, waking up too early, or non-restorative sleep at least three nights per week for at least one month. Sleep problems affect one-third to one-half of the population, while chronic insomnia affects about 10 to 15 percent of people.
