Kelly Buick

My name is Kelly, I am a qualified Counsellor and Psychotherapist. I work Integratively, meaning I pull different parts of counselling together to shape a unique and tailor-made approach to your counselling sessions.

Bringing person-centred, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), Polyvagal theory, psychodynamic and Gestalt together, allows me to work collaboratively with you to make your therapy sessions fit your needs.

While theory and evidence-based counselling are important, and a large part of my practice, I believe change and healing happens when we are able to establish a strong therapeutic relationship together. By doing this I hope you are able to feel held, safe and secure exploring some of your most vulnerable parts. 

Before training as a counsellor, I studied social science, which allows me to develop a systemic understanding of our world. Similarly to my work as an integrative counsellor, studying social science allows me to bring elements of sociology, history, politics and psychology into my work and has allowed me to develop a broad and diverse understanding of ‘being human.'

Making the first step

I know life can throw unexpected ups and downs at you. In our sessions, we will explore how you can build resilience and turn a page on what no longer feels helpful or fulfilling for you. Whatever you would like to work on, we will work together to identify what you need from therapy, tailoring your counselling sessions to you. I believe you are the expert in your life. Together with my knowledge of Counselling and Psychotherapy, I can support you in achieving your goals. 

I know reaching out for help can sometimes feel difficult or overwhelming, which is one reason why considering your preferences is important to me. I aim to offer you a space to feel safe to explore yourself, free of judgement and in confidence, something I believe you will decide for yourself with time. I view myself as patient and honest, meaning I will walk alongside you at your pace as we explore what you bring to your sessions. Please take some time to explore my page, I look forward to hearing from you soon and joining you on your journey…

In-Person Sessions

I have a cosy room in the centre of Kirkcaldy, allowing us to have sessions together in-person. The room is on the first floor and has 2 large windows offering a fresh feeling while benefiting from a sense of privacy as we will be off street level. While you wait for our session to begin, there is an inviting waiting area for you to relax in. I am located a 7-minute walk from Kirkcaldy Train Station. 

Telephone and Video Sessions

I offer sessions over Google meet or Telephone. You can attend sessions from home, work or somewhere that is safe and confidential for you. I ask the space be private and quiet during our call together as much as possible.

I have a particular interest in working with family estrangement.

When we no longer have a family member in our lives, this can bring on many mixed and often confusing feelings that we might not know what to do with.

Losing someone when they die can be one of the most difficult life experiences we can go through as humans. The care we have towards ourselves and others can be a large part of getting us through that.

When we lose someone through estrangement it can be less common to feel supported or understood in our experience and feelings of grief.

You might hear things from others like ‘but you only have one, mum/ dad’ or ‘Won’t you regret this if something bad happens’ while these things may come from a place of concern and are well intended, often they hurt us and only further the already difficult process of understanding family estrangement.

The person isn’t in our life, it feels that they are gone but they haven’t died. We can feel a lack of closure, feelings of guilt and questions of why?

Estrangement can be experienced in various forms. Sometimes this is our choice, a boundary put in place to protect us. Sometimes it has been the choice of someone else, and we don't understand their reason. Maybe it was a mural agreement.

Whichever side of this experience you sit on I can understand and support you in processing this. We will work together to understand what you need now and how you can continue to support yourself as this situation unfolds, moving toward a place of acceptance as it is now, supporting you in feeling more settled. 

I offer a one-off 15-minute consultation video or telephone call to all new clients. This gives us a chance to talk about what brings you to counselling and decide if we are a good fit to work together. We can discuss how I can best support you going forward.
