Kirsten Owen

I offer a safe, supportive and collaborative space that is separate from your everyday life and relationships to explore whatever difficulties you might be facing. You might have a clear idea of what's troubling you, or perhaps you have a sense that something just isn't quite right in your life. Counselling can give you the room you need to explore what's going on for you, and to find a way forward to the place you want to be.

I work in a person-centred way, which means I see and respect you as the expert in your own life and I deeply value the therapeutic relationship we create together.

I am also influenced by my pluralistic qualification where I was trained in a number of different counselling theories – including CBT, psychodynamic, solution-focused – and we might decide together to draw from some of these approaches.

I qualified in 2014 with a Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling. As an experienced counsellor, I have worked with adults from all walks, ages and stages of life. You can expect me to be honest and accepting, to treat you with respect and dignity, and as the individual that you are. Deciding to address those things that challenge your well-being can be a daunting task, so I will work at a pace that feels safe and comfortable for you.

I work in-person in North East Fife and remotely by phone and video call throughout the UK.           

We all can experience emotional pain and struggles in one form or another, which impact on how we relate to and interact with ourselves, others and the world around us. This is part of being human. Having a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can work through whatever difficulties you are having now or have experienced in the past can help to increase your understanding of yourself and others, your resources and coping skills, and the quality of life you lead.

As your counsellor, although I won’t be able to give you the answers, I will work in collaboration with you to help identify what you would like to get from counselling and how we can work together to move you towards where you would like to be.

Counselling for grief and loss

Grief can feel a bit like your whole world has been turned upside down. You might find that you are unable to recognise yourself, maybe you are feeling, behaving and reacting in ways that feel out of character.  Alongside this there can be a pressure to move on, to get back to "normal", when life feels anything but normal. 

Grief counselling isn’t about moving on from your loss, instead it is a space to support you in living with your loss. Counselling can help you to understand your feelings and connect with your needs. It can also be a place to talk about the person you have lost, the experience of losing them, and to explore the possibilities of finding meaning in life again.

We can also experience grief in other aspects of life. This could be through the ending of a relationship, losing a job or retirement, a house move, health issues, trauma, a loss of identity. Grief shows up in lots of ways and situations. If you are affected by grief in any shape or form, please contact me to explore if counselling might be helpful for you. 

If you're wondering if I might be the right counsellor for you then please get in touch and we can arrange an initial free of charge 20 minute phone/Zoom appointment to explore what you would like to get from counselling and see if we would be a good fit for working together.

We can discuss the number of appointments that might be right for you, I can offer both short and long term sessions depending on your needs.

We can discuss the number of appointments that might be right for you, I can offer both short and long term sessions depending on your needs.

I can offer you a safe, supportive and reflective space to explore the many aspects of your therapeutic work. I work in a flexible way and will collaborate with you to ensure that our sessions are attuned to your supervision needs.

Having been a qualified counsellor for a decade, I recognise that what we seek and require from supervision changes over the life course of our career in counselling. I will endeavour to meet with you fully at the place where you are currently in your journey as a counsellor, taking both your professional and personal self into consideration, respecting where you have come from, your experience and your future developmental needs.

I bring a broad range of therapeutic experience to my supervision work, from being a trainee counsellor in placements to having worked in agencies and the voluntary sector with trauma and addictions, and also being in private practice with individuals and as an associate counsellor with EAPs. I work in person and remotely with specific qualifications for online counselling and supervision, and I am accredited with the BACP.

If you are looking for a supervisor, then please get in contact to arrange an initial chat where we can explore the potential to work together.

I work in-person in Fife and online throughout the UK.
