Kesley Cage

You're welcome to contact me to discuss online and telephone therapy sessions. 

Hi, I'm Kes and I am a therapeutic counsellor. 

My core training is in humanistic, psycho-spiritual counselling. 

I am also trained and experienced in working with gender, sexuality and relationship diversity, and have worked in placements with adults and younger people experiencing mental health and personal development issues. 

Many of my clients identify as being "spiritual", including people from both religious or non-religious ways of life.

During every session you'll have the opportunity to contemplate what is on your heart and mind, including issues that may be affecting your overall happiness and well-being. 

We'll work together to create a balanced perspective that leaves you feeling empowered, resilient and more in touch with your inner capacity to cope with change, and lead your life wholeheartedly. 

Your first session will feel conversational, and friendly, with space to explore anything that you wish. 

I will empathise and support you with compassion, so you can make choices based on what you feel is right for you. 

Sometimes counselling may include cheering you on, sometimes it is simply someone to confide in, or to lean on in difficult times.

 Whatever it is that you require, let's arrange an initial consultation for about 30 minutes, so that we can both get a sense of whether we'll work well together. 

Please send me a message or book via my website.

I currently have a few spaces open and welcome anyone curious to begin with a free, 10-minute chat. You can view times and dates available via the booking link (above).

I offer a gentle, respectful space where you can pause, reflect, and find your centre—especially if life feels overwhelming, uncertain, or chaotic. I work online or by phone with adults who are navigating life’s twists and turns, often with a creative or spiritual streak. Many of the people I work with identify as queer, neurodivergent, or as deep feelers and thinkers who’ve never quite felt at home in the mainstream.

My approach is holistic and person-centred. I won’t try to slot you into a box or treat you like a problem to be fixed. Instead, I’ll listen with care, follow your pace, and support you to connect with your own inner wisdom—because I believe we all have that, even if it gets clouded by stress, trauma, or noise.

This space can be a place to untangle thoughts, explore identity, process past experiences, or simply rest and be heard. We can bring in metaphor, imagery, story-work, body awareness, creativity, humour—whatever feels nourishing and useful for you.

Therapy is usually every week for about 3 to 6 months or longer. Toward the end of therapy we may transition to weekly or monthly sessions. Alternatively, it's possible to book flexible sessions, as and when you need them (subject to availability). 

Standard Fees

£80 | 50-minute sessions

£40 | 30-minute sessions

Flexible sessions include an extra £5 admin fee.

Concessions: Sliding scale £30 to £80 

I offer a free, 10-minute chat just to see if we can connect and understand each other, and if so afterwards you'll be able to book a counselling session. You're welcome to book your initial chat with me via the link at the top of this profile. There's no obligation to continue after we talk.

Living Wisely: Counselling for a Calmer Life

I offer 30-minute and 50-minute online and phone sessions, supporting adults aged 21 to 50+, including those who identify as queer and/or neurodivergent (autism, ADHD). My holistic approach sees you as a whole person—beyond labels or diagnoses—and creates space for your individuality and authentic self-expression.

These sessions offer a gentle invitation to pause, reflect, and explore your thoughts and feelings—all from the comfort of your home. I have a few weekday morning slots available and would be happy to help you make time for yourself whenever you're ready.

Hi, I'm Kes :-)

I’m a therapist, and as someone who occasionally uses therapy myself, I understand that reaching out can feel like a big step. It takes courage to open up about your thoughts and feelings.

I hope to support you in feeling relaxed and confident as we work together on your concerns, whilst empowering you to take care of your emotions and improve your well-being with self-compassion.

I’m also a real human being—not just a therapist. While sessions are about you, I’m happy to share anything about myself that might help you feel more at ease. Just ask.

I practise a holistic, "whole person" approach, meaning I welcome all aspects of who you are and anything you want to explore. My work is informed by person-centred and integrative modalities.

You may find working with me helpful if:

• You feel different, unseen or unheard: I work with neurodivergent individuals (e.g., autism, ADHD—whether diagnosed or awaiting diagnosis) who are navigating academic pressures, work-related stress, or interpersonal challenges. I also have experience supporting LGBTQIA+ adults and young people, as well as migrants and refugees, including those facing minority stress, cultural adaptation, and identity-related concerns.
• You're struggling to communicate authentically: If fears about others' reactions, people-pleasing tendencies, or unresolved past traumas are affecting your confidence, relationships, intimacy, or self-expression, we can work together to help you feel more like yourself and strengthen your communication and boundaries.
• You're motivated to grow: Therapy provides a space for self-reflection and gradual change. I believe in the power of self-leadership, and I expect my clients to be committed to their growth both inside and outside of sessions.Together, we’ll work to help you create a life that feels right for you, based on your values and on your terms

Weekly sessions cost £40 - £70. Flexible plans and concessions may be available.

The first time we meet is an opportunity to explore your issues and develop a connection so we can get to know each other and how suitable we will be to work together. It's friendly, conversational and designed to support you to feel at ease. You are welcome to send me a message or book via my website to get started.

Hi, I'm Kes.

As both a therapist and someone who’s walked the client path myself, I know how vulnerable it can feel to open up. Therapy with me is like visiting the witchy healer down the valley or the village wise-person—where time slows, there’s a kettle on the hearth, and you can simply be.

I’m here to walk with you at your pace. There’s no rush—only space for what you need. You’ll find me warm, practical, and good at spotting patterns. I believe in you as a whole person, not a diagnosis. Our work together isn’t about fixing you; it’s about supporting you in growing into more of yourself.

How I Work

• Deep listening – You’re the expert on you
• Gentle space – Growth thrives when not forced
• Creative mischief – Healing should feel alive, not like homework

You Might Choose to Work with Me If...

• Neurodivergent and tired of navigating exhausting systems
• LGBTQIA+ and/or a person of culture seeking belonging and clarity around identity

🗣️ You Struggle to Speak Up for Yourself

• People-pleasing leaves you empty

🌱 You’re Ready to Grow (without beating yourself up)

Therapy here means:

• Self-reflection that feels like gardening – Some weeding, some planting, all at your own pace

Therapy shouldn’t be a luxury. If finances are a barrier, let’s discuss what works for you.

A no-pressure chat to:

• See if we click – Chemistry matters.
• Name what’s heavy – Or what wants to grow.

Hi, I'm Kes, and a wholehearted welcome to you.

I understand that it's usually not an easy decision to begin therapy. You may be here because something in your life isn't feeling right to you, or maybe you're worried about how others think of you, feel like you're stressed and running on empty too often. 

Life is rough sometimes - for students, working parents, LGBTQ+ folks, and people just trying to thrive in difficult conditions. I work with a wide diversity of clients. I am here in solidarity alongside you, to support you to find your way through.

Together we can explore exactly what's going on, and what your strengths and values are, so that you can navigate through based on caring for your internal resources. Our work may also include tending to your vulnerabilities and emotional pain, and we may look into specifics of the psychological workings beneath issues such as anxiety and depression.

Therapy means 'to accompany' and 'to be alongside'.

I will accompany you and support you to gain insights into your thoughts and emotions, so that you can create personal progress informed by greater self-awareness. You'll find, hopefully, that by the end of therapy, you understand yourself, your patterns, who you are, and what really matters to you so that you can create the changes that you need to in order to create better conditions for your thriving, as best as you can.

In our first session, you're invited to simply meet me and discuss what it is that you need from therapy. You're welcome to contact me to arrange your initial consultation, so that we can get to know each other and find out whether we're a good match for continuing to work together.
