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

- BACP
I am a professionally qualified Counsellor, with a 1st Class BA (Hons) degree in Integrative-Relational Counselling, 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, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
