About me
Prioritising Mental Health: A Path to Healing, Growth, and Well-Being.
My name is Kayleigh, and as a highly experienced psychotherapist with over 13 years of working with children, teens, and adults, I am passionate about helping individuals navigate the complex emotional and psychological challenges we all face. In today’s fast-paced world, where mental health struggles are on the rise, seeking support isn’t just important—it’s essential. I offer a compassionate, individualised approach to therapy, drawing from my extensive experience and a broad range of therapeutic techniques to help my clients achieve lasting change and emotional well-being.
My professional journey has seen me work in a variety of settings—including schools, rehabilitation centres, children’s homes, and the community. My experience includes helping people overcome trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression, childhood sexual exploitation (CSE), abandonment, domestic abuse, and more. I also specialise in working with complex needs such as autism, learning difficulties, and other mental health disorders.
A Unique Expertise in Trauma-Informed Care.
What truly sets me apart is my in-depth expertise in trauma and my ability to apply this knowledge in a range of settings. Not only do I work directly with clients, but I also train staff teams in children’s homes to become trauma-informed. This has enabled me to build a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by young people who have experienced significant trauma, neglect, and abuse. I’m committed to helping both individuals and caregivers create environments of trust, safety, and healing.
I believe in the power of a personalised therapeutic approach. No single model works for everyone, which is why I integrate various evidence-based techniques to meet the unique needs of each client. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), psychoanalysis, person-centred therapy, play therapy, and interventions for self-harm and panic disorders. By blending these approaches, I create a therapy plan that is tailored to you—ensuring the best possible outcomes.
Your Journey, My Priority: Therapy That Lasts.
Therapy is not just about resolving immediate problems—it’s about creating lasting change. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, or the aftermath of trauma, I can help you build the resilience and coping skills necessary to thrive in all areas of life. Psychotherapy is a clinically proven tool that can help you make meaningful changes, break free from harmful patterns, and lead a more fulfilling life.
I am committed to ongoing professional development and continually enhance my skills in new areas of therapy to ensure that my clients receive the most effective, cutting-edge treatment possible. In addition to my individual therapy work, I also offer well-being programmes for businesses, focusing on staff mental health and fostering positive work environments.
Why Choose Me?
I understand that finding the right therapist is a deeply personal decision, and I believe that trust and rapport are the foundations of any successful therapeutic relationship. With over a decade of experience working with diverse, complex cases, I offer a level of expertise and compassion that can’t be matched. I encourage you to shop around and find the therapist who best suits your needs—but if you’re looking for a dedicated, experienced, and caring professional who truly listens and tailors therapy to you, I’d love to connect.
If you think my approach could benefit you, I offer an initial, free phone consultation to discuss your needs, answer any questions, and create a personalised therapy plan together.
I have invested 7 years of study to gain my qualifications and have over 13 years of hands-on experience. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), and I’m deeply committed to providing therapy that works.
If you have any questions or uncertainties, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Let’s work together to create a path forward for you—one where healing, growth, and lasting change are not just possible but inevitable.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
