Kelly Butterworth

I offer flexible session times, including evenings and Saturdays.

Hello I'm Kelly, I am a BACP registered therapist with a BA (Hons) in Counselling and Psychotherapy.

My sessions at Locus Amoenus Counselling and Therapy Services are adapted to you as an individual. I am extremely flexible in how I work and can quickly understand what will support you best. I work as an integrative therapist because we are all individuals, so one type of therapy will not work for all. I am highly empathetic and compassionate, working in depth at a pace you feel comfortable.

Please take a look at my website:

I have experience working with both children and adults with a variety of difficulties. I have extensive experience working with anxiety, OCD, depression, historic abuse, trauma, self-harm, suicide ideation and domestic abuse.  

I have experience and a real understanding, professionally and personally of neurodiversity. I have worked with children who have been diagnosed with ADHD and Autism, and I find my adaptability in sessions is a great asset to helping individuals with neurodiversities. I am passionate about changing the narrative on neurodiversity and instilling confidence in individuals who are struggling to fit in.

The therapies I offer are:

Person Centred therapy

CBT (Cognitive behavioural therapy)

Solution-focused therapy (directive, action planning)

Creative therapy (Art, crafts, games, activities adapted to therapy)

Lego therapy (communication-based therapy)

Confidence, self-esteem and life skills coaching - personal development sessions

Sessions can be fully focused on one type of therapy or a combination of therapies can be used. 

I offer an initial phone call chat for free to discuss your needs and see if you would like to set up a first session - choosing the right therapist for you as an individual is key and I am very open and honest, offering referral if I feel you would benefit from a different counsellor or service. 

In your first session, we will go through important aspects of therapy including an assessment and our contract. I offer a 15 minute extension on the first session to allow time for this.
