About me
Hi, I'm Kayleigh. I'm a registered member of the BACP (00846297), offering one to one talking therapy in Bournemouth and online.
Sometimes life can get difficult, but talking to someone in a safe space without fear of judgement can be helpful. At the heart of my practice is my belief that we all deserve to be who we are, without fear of judgement from those around us.
Through my counselling experience, I have been able to work with children and adults facing life's struggles, such as; depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, emotional and physical pain caused by traumatic events, bereavement, loss and the stresses of day to day life.
As a Humanistic Integrative Counsellor, my role is to be alongside you, listening, understanding and encouraging you, in an environment in which you feel safe and respected.
Together we can find a way of working that suits your needs and allows you to be heard and understood. With a greater sense of well being and understanding you will feel empowered to make changes and move forward with your life, using tools to help you cope in those difficult times.
Training, qualifications & experience
My private practise KO-Counselling in Bournemouth, enables me to work with a range of clients in a very personalised way, drawing on 11 years of experience of working with children, young people and their families, adults and individuals experiencing more complex mental health needs.
I have provided counselling for children and young adults in a local Dorset School and within my private practise, adults in various voluntary settings, as-well as my private practise.

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.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
