About me
Counselling for women navigating anxiety, overwhelm and life's demands.
Who are tired of holding everything together?
On the outside, you may appear to be coping. You're capable, dependable and often the one others rely on. But inside, you're carrying more than anyone sees, finding yourself second-guessing decisions that once came naturally, and wondering why it's becoming harder to keep pushing through.
You're juggling work, family, relationships or life's expectations, giving so much of yourself to everyone else that there's little left for you. Even when you're exhausted, switching off feels impossible.
Perhaps you've reached a point where something no longer feels right.
Maybe you've started questioning whether the life you've been living still reflects who you are or what matters most to you.
After all, a busy life isn't always the same as a fulfilling one.
Somewhere along the way, you've lost touch with yourself.
If this resonates with you, you're not alone.
I'm Kirsten Jones, a BACP-registered integrative counsellor, offering a warm, compassionate and collaborative space where you can pause, breathe and simply be.
I don't believe therapy is about fixing you, because I don't believe you're broken. Together, we'll explore your experiences with curiosity and compassion, helping you develop a deeper understanding of yourself, your needs and the patterns that may no longer be serving you.
Counselling offers more than a space to talk. It offers the opportunity to slow down, reflect and make sense of what you're experiencing. My aim is to support you in reconnecting with yourself and moving towards a life that feels more balanced, meaningful and true to who you are.

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.

Other areas of counselling I deal with
My holistic approach extends beyond the counselling room. Clients can choose to receive a complimentary Hope Wellbeing aromatherapeutic rollerball to complement the therapeutic work we do together, supporting grounding, relaxation and nervous system regulation. Alongside the tools and strategies we explore in counselling, it becomes part of your personalised wellbeing toolkit, helping you build sustainable practices that support calm, resilience and emotional wellbeing in everyday life.

Additional information
I believe it’s important to make counselling accessible, so I have a small amount of allocated spaces for those on low income, students, benefits.
Due to limited availability, there may be a waiting list for these spaces.
