About me

I am a relational integrative counsellor who believes that a strong therapeutic relationship is at the heart of meaningful change. My aim is to provide a warm, compassionate, and non-judgemental space where you feel heard, understood, and accepted.

My journey into counselling has been shaped by both personal and professional experiences, including my own experience of therapy. These experiences inspired me to pursue a career in counselling and strengthened my belief in the power of genuine human connection. I understand how valuable it can be to have a safe space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of judgement.

I am currently completing an Integrated Master’s degree in Psychology and Counselling. My training draws on person-centred, attachment-based, and relational approaches, enabling me to tailor therapy to each individual’s needs. I believe that every person is unique, and I work collaboratively with clients to deepen self-awareness, explore challenges, and support lasting personal growth.

Whatever brings you to counselling, I would welcome the opportunity to work alongside you. Together, we can create a supportive space to explore your experiences and work towards the changes that matter most to you.

Experience

Through my counselling training and clinical placement work, I have supported adults experiencing a range of emotional and psychological difficulties. I have experience working with clients presenting with anxiety, low mood, stress, relationship difficulties, bereavement, low self-esteem, life transitions, and personal challenges that may feel overwhelming or difficult to navigate alone.

Alongside my counselling work, I have extensive experience supporting people from diverse backgrounds through roles in healthcare, education, and customer-facing services. These experiences have strengthened my ability to build meaningful therapeutic relationships, communicate with empathy, and create an environment where people feel valued, heard, and respected.

Individual work

I offer individual counselling for adults, both in person and online.

My integrative approach draws on a range of therapeutic models while remaining grounded in person-centred values. I work collaboratively and tailor sessions to meet your individual needs, whether you are seeking support with current difficulties, exploring patterns from the past, improving relationships, or developing a deeper understanding of yourself.

I believe therapy should move at a pace that feels comfortable for you, allowing space for reflection, growth, and self-discovery.

How I deliver therapy

In-person or on-line.

With Kym’s help, I have learned healthy coping strategies and no longer feel the need to turn to self-harm. I have also learned how to better manage stress to prevent me from getting to peaks where I no longer feel in control of the situation at hand. This has been extremely beneficial to me during my applications to university, which I can only describe as the most stressful time of my life so far, yet I have not spiralled back into poor coping mechanisms, and I can truly credit that back to my time with Kym.
~ Client
We were worried for our son and how he would manage as he got older, worried he’d be prone to anxiety and depression. I feel the sessions with Jacqui have had a really positive impact and paved the way for any further support as he grows. The stigma about receiving counselling fully quashed. Thank you Jacqui!
~ Client
Very positive - we’ve seen great improvements in our son’s confidence, self esteem and ability to handle big emotions.
~ Client
I feel much more calmer in myself. I have learned how to recognise intrusive thoughts and how best to deal with them. I have implemented the methods I’ve been taught in therapy in day to day life.
~ Client
I can cope better with day to day life. I am less teary and I feel stronger, more optimistic about life ahead. My therapist has been a godsend.
~ Client
Thank you, for your time, patience and support to help me navigate. I am beyond grateful for your energy and kind professionalism.
~ Client
My therapist was brilliant at listening and supporting me through the counselling process. She was professional but warm and approachable and it felt very natural talking to her. I would certainly go back to see her again.
~ Client
Counselling has really helped me through a difficult time after experiencing challenges. I feel the sessions have helped me get back to my old self and I am feeling much more positive about the future and my journey ahead.
~ Client
It is continuing to make a difference to me. I am still processing the ways in which Debbie supported me to begin to face things in my own way and dare to try and make decisions I needed to make, including facing my fears and not allowing them to overwhelm me.
~ Client
Emma worked so well with my son and helped him to cope so much better with a very difficult year. She listened and gave practical advice, which was just what he needed.
~ Client
Exemplary - so supportive. Client centred, compassionate and attentive. Built a strong trusting relationship. Responsive to when/what I was struggling with and the emotional states I brought to sessions. I felt safe and secure very quickly.
~ Client
The therapist was very professional and understanding to my situation and provided a safe space for me to express my feelings. I feel in a better place after having sessions.
~ Client
As someone who had never had counselling sessions before I was sceptical if it was going to be beneficial to me, however after having some sessions with Kerry I was able to unload my thoughts which has greatly eased my situation and thoughts.
~ Client
Really supportive, positive, helpful and it had a huge impact on my life. Thanks again to Klaudia, she was amazing.
~ Client
Using the strategies you have taught me and understanding where my anger is coming from, has really helped me to become a better person to be around. I’m no longer angry all the time!
~ Client
Your counselling sessions really helped to get me through a difficult period and I now feel in a much better place and able to think about moving on with my life.
~ Client
Thank you so much again for all the help you gave me, it gave me the ability to figure out how to fix my issues by myself, which takes a big weight off my shoulders.
~ Client
I've shared things with you that i had never shared with anyone - testament to your unconditional acceptance of me.​
~ Client
There have been some hard times in the months since we ended counselling, but I remembered the things we discussed and I got through lots of different challenges thanks to you.
~ Client
Thank you so much for all your hard work and support these past two years. It is so greatly appreciated.
~ Client
Accessible, supportive, compassionate and wise service which responded to me when I needed to be heard and has helped me find the way forward. Thank you!
~ Client
Counselling has helped me control anger linked to anxiety, focus in self care and helped strengthen my relationship with my children.
~ Client
I'm so glad I have you to come to as a supervisor. You help me trust in my processes and I trust your judgment of them! A great big thank you! You are a real steadfast influence on my practice.
