As a counsellor, I am committed to supporting you in overcoming emotional blocks and unhelpful behaviours.

Hi, I’m Kelly.  An experienced Solution-Focused Hypnotherapist,  Psychotherapist and Mindset Coach, with a passion for helping people of all ages -men, women, and children - overcome challenges and achieve their goals.  I specialise in creating a warm, welcoming, safe, secure and supportive environment where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings experiences and emotions at their own pace.

I’m an Integrative Therapist who welcomes Adults and Children (aged 9 years +) for Counselling.

Counselling for Adults: Sometimes life’s twists and turns can stop us in our tracks, or we recognise we feel uncomfortable or misaligned. Therapy can help to explore and smooth out our inner selves.

Counselling for Children aged 9+, Tweens, Teens & Young Adults: If you are concerned about a young person navigating challenges, worries, or distress it can be hard to know how to help. Therapy can be a place to make sense of their upsets and find some calm.
