Counselling in Kilmarnock

Sometimes life can feel overwhelming, and it can be difficult to talk to people we know about things that trouble us so we keep it all inside. I have worked with various issues including grief, anxiety and relationship problems. Whatever has brought you to think about counselling, I believe that we all experience things differently. I believe that you are the expert on you, but at times things can seem unclear and difficult to make sense of. My role as counsellor is to help enable you to explore your issues and make positive changes, and to provide a safe, confidential space for you that is without judgement.

I specialise in working with anxiety, low self esteem, depression, shame, guilt, difficult loss or life change and prolonged grief. I also work with individuals who have been impacted by controlling or abusive behaviour, who need support to work through the distress of this, and the re-building process. Whether things have reached crisis point, or you are trying to get help before they do, I am glad that you're thinking about talking to someone. Session costs range from £40-£50 for individuals. Feel free to discuss this with me to see if a concession rate can be applied.

As a therapist I would like for you to create a renewed or deepened desire to truly understand yourself, your own values and needs, your own fears and concerns, and your place in the world. I am a warm and friendly therapist with a strong belief that therapy should feel like a self care activity.

I am an Integrative Cognitive Behavioural Therapist my interest in becoming a therapist developed within my career in Social Care and Trauma Informed services.

In life we may have similar experiences but our uniqueness as human beings mean we all recover from emotional pain in our own individual way. Whatever you’re experience we can work together to help you gain a better understanding of your thoughts, feelings and behaviours.

Welcome to my profile. I believe that successful counselling starts with rapport and trust. From there, having a safe space to be able to talk about what is causing distress to you, is only beneficial if there is a good therapeutic foundation.

Counselling is a journey with many lightbulb moments and helping find answers in the darkest corners. I have always felt that it is a gift to be able to talk to someone and share your story, which allows growth and change

By doing so I hope to help you find a positive way forward. You'll hear counsellors mention 'a safe space' - that's really about the relationship that we build together, and how it differs from talking to a friend or family member who may have their own feelings and judgements around the issues that are concerning you.

It can be incredibly difficult to explore painful or uncomfortable feelings and experiences. It is natural to avoid problems and build walls around parts of ourselves as a self-protective measure. In the long term however, these things often catch up with us and we can find ourselves feeling lost, depressed or out of touch with who we are.
