About me

I offer counselling online, walking therapy, or in person in the Epsom and Ewell area. I work with adults and children and young people aged 13+ in both an NHS commissioned service and private practice. If you are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or struggling to process difficult experiences please reach out; my role is to help you make sense of what might be going on for you and to find ways to move forwards. 

Training, qualifications & experience

Hi, My name is Kyrie, and I am a qualified therapeutic counsellor with a degree in Psychology and specialist training in working with trauma, anxiety, stress, low self-worth, grief, loss, parenting and fertility issues, and neurodiversity amongst other topics. I work with both adults and young people aged 12+. 

My approach is warm, down-to-earth and tailored to you, because no two people – or their stories – are the same. We'll work together, at your pace, based on your individual needs, to understand what's happening and find ways forward that feel manageable. I believe that therapy is about developing an awareness of yourself, understanding your needs, and working towards offering yourself compassion. 

I know that contacting a counsellor can feel like a big step. There is no judgement here, and no pressure to commit. I offer a free 15-minute consultation, giving you the chance to ask questions, get a feel for how I work and decide whether I'm the right person for you or your teenager.

Sometimes the first step is simply starting the conversation. 

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
