About me

When was the last time you really listened to your own voice?

Perhaps your mind rarely switches off. You might overthink conversations, struggle to quiet your thoughts, feel overwhelmed by everyday demands or find yourself wondering why things that seem straightforward for others can feel so difficult for you.

Maybe you’ve spent years trying to meet expectations, masking parts of yourself or feeling that you should be coping better than you are. You may be exploring whether you are neurodivergent, or trying to make sense of how your mind works.

Whatever has brought you here, you don’t have to have all the answers before starting counselling.

I’m Keira, an NCPS Accredited Integrative Counsellor, offering a warm, accepting and non-judgemental space for adults to explore what is happening in their lives. I have a particular interest in supporting neurodivergent adults, including those with ADHD, alongside people experiencing anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, emotional overwhelm and challenging life transitions.

Counselling isn’t about trying to change who you are or making you fit someone else’s expectations. It’s an opportunity to understand yourself more deeply, explore patterns that may no longer be serving you, and discover what feels right for you.

There is no pressure to find the perfect words, know where to begin or work through everything at once. We can take things at your pace, exploring your experiences, emotions, relationships and the expectations you may have carried for years.

Your time is precious. Your time is necessary. Your time is yours.

If something here resonates with you, you’re welcome to book a free 15-minute introductory call. It’s an opportunity to ask questions, tell me a little about what has brought you to counselling and decide whether working together feels right for you, with no pressure or obligation.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am an Accredited Registrant (MNCPS Acc.) with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS), which is accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.

I hold a Foundation Degree in Integrative Counselling and a BSc (Hons) in Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of Staffordshire.

As an integrative counsellor, I draw upon a range of therapeutic approaches, tailoring therapy to each individual rather than believing there is a one-size-fits-all approach.

I have a particular interest in supporting neurodivergent adults, including those with ADHD. I understand that everyone’s experience is unique, so I aim to provide a therapeutic space that is accepting, collaborative and adapted to your individual needs.

Alongside my private practice, I continue to undertake regular Continuing Professional Development (CPD) to ensure my knowledge and practice remain current. This includes training in safeguarding, suicide awareness, trauma-informed practice, neurodiversity, GDPR and ethical practice.

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.

My private counselling room is located within my back garden. If you have any specific accessibility requirements or would like to discuss your needs before your appointment, please do get in touch and I'll be happy to help.
