About Me

Hi I am Kelly, a fully qualified, accredited, person-centred counsellor and a member of the BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists), which  means I follow a strict code of ethics (including monthly supervision) to ensure safe practice..that's your safety as well as mine.

I offer face-to-face, telephone & video Counselling and Psychotherapy to adults, couples and young adults (over the age of 18).

I have previously tutored for a private training centre as well as at a local FE college.

I currently teach a CPCAB Level 3 Counselling Studies course as well as a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling.
