Welcome to my page, my preferred name is Kylie.

Life can be challenging at times. Experiences of change, loss and stressful situations can leave us feeling overwhelmed, anxious and confused. Perhaps your inner voice is telling you something feels a little off, it can be difficult to make sense of how we are feeling.

The pace of life and external pressures can lead to feeling that we are stuck in a cycle of unhelpful thinking and behaviours that we want to change but are unsure how to.

I offer a safe and confidential space to talk and explore these feelings, where I will listen without judgement. Supporting you to navigate change, gain understanding of your feelings, along with rebuilding a sense of self. 

I am an Integrative Therapist which means I draw on several counselling methods to best suit your individual needs. I believe that the building of a trusting therapeutic relationship is key to growth and change. I feel passionately that everyone is deserving of feeling valued and heard, with compassion and empathy being at the core of my practice.

I work with adults and young people (11 years upwards) experiencing a range of issues including, anxiety, depression, low self-worth friendship/relationship difficulties, family dynamics, gender identity, bereavement and loss, trauma and abuse, self-harm, current and historic.

I have experience working in a secondary school and college giving me an insight into the crazy world and pressures our young people are navigating.

I believe early intervention is key in equipping young people to make their way through the journey of life, supporting them to be the best they can be.   

I offer a free initial session of 20 minutes either in person or over the telephone, we can talk about how counselling may be helpful, and I can share with you how I work. This gives us chance to get to know each other a little and I can answer any questions you may have.

I offer in person sessions from my counselling room. For some people this is not possible, so I also offer sessions online using zoom or by telephone. I will require a meeting in person before offering sessions via telephone.
