I have many years of experience working with anxiety, depression, grief, childhood trauma, PTSD. relationship problems, bereavement, disordered eating, neurodivergence and end of life, amongst many other difficulties. Please reach out for a free call if you are struggling. I look forward to hearing from you.
My name is Kyrena. I have a Masters in Psychology, a Post-Graduate Diploma in Psychosynthesis Counselling and am the author of several books on Child Development. I am passionate about my work and aim to offer a warm and nurturing space where you can safely share all your thoughts, feelings and experiences, and explore what is true for you and what is at odds – in your life, relationships and ways of being in the world – with how you feel inside.
As an integrative therapist with a background in psychology, I draw on a variety of approaches, working creatively to tailor our sessions to your unique needs. Together we will collaborate to explore the roots of your current struggles, identify the patterns that affect your life, and get to know all the parts that make up who you are. I trained in psychosynthesis and start from the premise that everyone has an inner wisdom calling them to personal truth and congruence. I believe that therapy, by providing a safe space in which to experiment with new ways of thinking, feeling and being, can unlock the blocks to this healing energy and awaken its potential.
I offer a free initial 15-minute call for us to meet each other. It’s an opportunity for you to tell me a bit about yourself, your hopes for therapy and any concerns you might have, and for us both to get an idea of how it would feel to work together. If you’d like to arrange this, or want to know more about my background, qualifications and the way I work, please check my website: www.kyrenakarmiloff.co.uk

Training, qualifications & experience
I have a Post-Graduate Diploma in Psychosynthesis Counselling, a Masters in Psychology, and am the author of several books on child development. I also hold certification in grief- and trauma-informed therapy, and working with disordered eating. Before qualifying as a therapist, I spent many years as a volunteer supporting children and adults experiencing bereavement and terminal illness, and alongside my private practice I volunteered until recently as a therapist for a charity in Bristol.
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.

Additional information
I operate a sliding scale from £60-80 reflecting client circumstances, location and my availability. Fees are agreed together before the start of our work. It is important to me that my practice be as inclusive as possible, so I also reserve a limited number of low-cost places for those experiencing financial hardship who would otherwise not have access to longterm therapy. Please let me know if you feel this applies to you.
