About me
Hello, I'm Kieran, an integrative counsellor offering a warm, down-to-earth and confidential space where you can talk openly about whatever is going on for you.
You may be struggling with anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, relationships, bereavement or difficult experiences from your past. Or perhaps you can't quite put your finger on what's wrong — you simply know that something doesn't feel right. You don't need to have everything figured out before coming to counselling.
I believe that you are the expert on your own life. My role isn't to judge you or tell you what you should do, but to work alongside you, helping you understand yourself, explore what may be keeping you stuck and find a way forward that feels right for you.
As an integrative counsellor, I draw on person-centred therapy, CBT and Transactional Analysis, adapting the way we work to suit you as an individual.
I offer face-to-face and online counselling, and a free 15-minute telephone or video consultation so we can have an informal chat before you decide whether you'd like to book a session.
Training, qualifications & experience
- Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling
- Level 3 Certificate in Counselling Skills
- Level 2 Certificate in Counselling Concepts
I am a qualified integrative counsellor and a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP). My training allows me to draw on person-centred therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Transactional Analysis (TA), adapting the way we work to you rather than expecting you to fit a particular approach.
I have experience supporting adults from a wide range of backgrounds with difficulties including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, bereavement, stress, anger and men's mental health. I understand that people don't always arrive for counselling knowing exactly what is wrong or what they need — sometimes they simply know that something doesn't feel right.
I continue to develop my knowledge and skills through regular professional development and work in accordance with the BACP Ethical Framework.
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.
