Female Counsellors in Welwyn
Many of the people I work with are not “falling apart” on the surface. They may be functioning well, but inside they feel overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck in unhelpful patterns, or as though something important has quietly gone off course. Others come with a clearer struggle: anxiety, relationship tension, sexual issues, burnout, identity questions, yet all share a desire to feel more grounded, connected & alive.
Whether working with couples or individuals, I offer a reflective, integrative approach that helps you slow down, make sense of what’s shaping your inner world, and re-steer it towards changes that are steady and lasting.

You don’t have to be in crisis to come to therapy. Sometimes things feel heavy or confusing, even when life looks fine from the outside. If you’re feeling anxious, low, or disconnected, or finding it hard to share what’s really going on, therapy can offer a calm, confidential space to pause and reflect.
I offer a steady, supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings freely and without judgment. My role is not to give advice, but to help you understand yourself more deeply — what might be behind the patterns, emotions, and relationships that shape your life.

Do you feel something needs to change? CBT can be very effective for common mental health problems. You may be struggling with low self-esteem, anxiety or low mood. These challenges can prevent you from living the life you desire. CBT is a collaborative and evidence-based approach that helps you understand your current challenges and equips you with practical skills to independently manage these issues and achieve your goals.
I provide virtual sessions, offering a warm, non-judgmental space for you to begin your journey towards better self-awareness and change.

Welcome — I’m Dr. Kez, a HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologist with over 15 years’ experience working across mental health services. I specialise in supporting adults who have grown up with early attachment wounds or who find themselves navigating anxiety, low self-esteem, perfectionism, low mood, or recurring patterns in relationships. Many of the people I meet describe a sense that something isn’t quite fitting in their lives—an emotional heaviness, a stuckness, or a feeling that they’re repeating the same cycles without knowing why.

I welcome people with a wide range of issues and recognise that most people do not bring issues that can be easily defined as a single category. You may have recently experienced a crisis in your life, such as bereavement, loss of a relationship, trauma or illness. Or perhaps you are less clear about why you are finding it hard to cope, you might be feeling anxious, stressed or experiencing unpredictable emotional swings but not be sure about why this is happening. Or maybe you are finding the process of ageing difficult and unsettling.

Life can be complex, placing pressure on our sense of self and relationships. It is natural to feel anxious, angry, depressed, or withdrawn in response, as these are human reactions shaped by our experiences. Coping strategies that once protected us can become less helpful over time, and this is often why people seek therapy. Together we can explore your story, understand what has shaped you, and create space for new meanings and possibilities. I work at your pace, supporting you through the challenges and losses that often accompany meaningful change.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
