Hi, I'm Kev, a qualified counsellor based in the North West of the UK.
Let me share a bit about my approach to therapy. While I could list my qualifications and years of study, I believe what really matters is how we might connect and work together.
I've been through therapy myself for many years, and I firmly believe in the importance of having a space where you can freely explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a safe, non-judgmental, and confidential environment.
It can often be challenging to navigate our innermost thoughts and feelings with those closest to us. Even with the best intentions, our loved ones might not fully understand or handle the depth of what we're experiencing, leading us to bottle up our emotions.
I practice Person-Centred Therapy (PCT), which puts you at the centre of the process. You are the expert on your own life, and therefore, the best person to decide what's right for you. This therapeutic approach provides the right conditions for you to reflect and understand what might really be going on, helping you to make decisions that are best for you.
This isn't about giving advice or telling you what to do; it's about creating a space where you can think for yourself and discover your own needs. Therapy can be challenging, but I believe everyone can benefit from engaging in this process.
I'm open to working with a wide range of issues, and if I feel another service might be more suitable, I will discuss that with you and provide recommendations.
I hope this resonates with you, and I look forward to hearing from you.

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.
