Kay has been a tremendous help for me so far, whether it be giving me advice or just being there to simply listen. She respects my time and always makes me feel better after every message and call we have together. She just gets me, and understands me without bias. I’ve been struggling for a while looking for a support resource that isn’t my friends that I know can be biased, so I’m glad I can depend on someone who is a professional with dealing with problems and issues such as mine. She is kind, gentle, and very patient. It makes me think “Hey, maybe therapy isn’t so scary as I thought!”. In my head I thought therapy was an interrogation session and I was scared to be forced to share things I don’t want to since I didn’t have great experiences with 2 different counsellors before in my life, but Kay has proved my theory wrong. I can’t express my gratitude enough and I can’t wait to continue working with her.
More about Kay
- 9 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
I am a professionally qualified Counsellor, having worked for the past nine years with individuals online and face-to-face.
I am committed to providing therapy within a safe space in which you can allow yourself to talk about your concerns, issues and difficulties, which perhaps you feel unable to share with others.
These issues may include low self-esteem, anxiety and stress, low mood and depression, relationship issues, bereavement or life changing decisions.
I work using an integrative approach, enabling me to pull on elements from a variety of counselling modalities, best suited to your needs and character.
If you are seeking counselling for the first time, I hope to encourage you to ‘give it a try’. If you have previous experience of counselling, positive or negative, no two experiences can be the same. I hope to encourage you to ‘give it another go’.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
