About me
Hi, I'm Kev, a qualified counsellor based in the North West of the UK.
Let me share a bit about my approach to therapy. While I could list my qualifications and years of study, I believe what really matters is how we might connect and work together.
I've been through therapy myself for many years, and I firmly believe in the importance of having a space where you can freely explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a safe, non-judgmental, and confidential environment.
It can often be challenging to navigate our innermost thoughts and feelings with those closest to us. Even with the best intentions, our loved ones might not fully understand or handle the depth of what we're experiencing, leading us to bottle up our emotions.
I practice Person-Centred Therapy (PCT), which puts you at the centre of the process. You are the expert on your own life, and therefore, the best person to decide what's right for you. This therapeutic approach provides the right conditions for you to reflect and understand what might really be going on, helping you to make decisions that are best for you.
This isn't about giving advice or telling you what to do; it's about creating a space where you can think for yourself and discover your own needs. Therapy can be challenging, but I believe everyone can benefit from engaging in this process.
I'm open to working with a wide range of issues, and if I feel another service might be more suitable, I will discuss that with you and provide recommendations.
I hope this resonates with you, and I look forward to hearing from you.

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.
