Hi! My name is Kristin and I am a BACP registered integrative counsellor offering a warm, supportive and environment where you can be free to explore difficult thoughts, emotions and experiences without judgment.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck or wanting to find joy again? Do you need someone to talk to? Whether you are experiencing low mood, anxious feelings or simply want to understand yourself better, I am here to provide a safe space for you to express yourself.

It can be daunting to reach out to a stranger about your personal situation, but counselling can help you gain a fresh perspective on something that you have been struggling with. I am therefore happy to offer a non-obligating initial telephone conversation where we discuss what you hope to gain from counselling and whether I am the right counsellor for you.

I embrace individuality, diversity and inclusivity and welcome clients from all walks of life across cultures, religions, ethnicities, sexual orientations and abilities.

As an integrative and relational counsellor, I tailor my approach to support your goals in therapy. We will typically look at what may be causing you distress today, but I may sometimes invite you to talk about your past to help you identify patterns and bring unconscious beliefs to light. We can look at how your life experiences have impacted you today and help you to take charge of harmful patterns and behaviours whilst focusing on bringing positive feelings to the forefront and making choices that benefit you and your goals.

For me, the therapeutic relationship is essential for a positive counselling experience. It is when we feel truly seen and heard without judgment that we can explore our inner world and bring about lasting change. Together, we can identify the factors in your life that may be causing you distress whilst nurturing your inner strengths and resources.

This is your journey, and I will walk with you whilst providing support, encouragement, an empathetic ear and gentle guidance.

Booking an appointment

If you would like to make an appointment, you can contact me via email or phone to discuss what you are hoping to gain from counselling and see if we are a good match. We can then book a suitable appointment to start the therapeutic work.

In our first session, we will complete an initial assessment to get a better overview of your current situation. This will lay the foundations for our work together.

It is important to note that your sessions are yours to use as you need within the scope of therapy. I am here to walk alongside you, listening to your experiences with empathy and compassion, whilst occasionally using my observations to gently challenge faulty thought patterns. Together we can start the process of change at a pace that you are comfortable with.
