Good emotional health is vital for a fulfilling life, but it doesn't always come easily. Life has a habit of overwhelming us at times.
Counselling offers a confidential place to talk about the things that are affecting you. These may include:
Be in no doubt that seeking support is a mark of strength. Counselling can help you to develop deeper self-knowledge and understanding, to strengthen foundations for the future. At a pace that feels comfortable for you.

I'm Kevina, a trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming counsellor working with individuals aged 18 and over.
Based near Kirkby Stephen, Cumbria, I welcome clients both near and far, providing sessions online, by phone and outdoor/walk and talk.
It's my hope that you will experience me as gentle, warm, patient and focused. You will be listened to and accepted, whatever you choose to share with me.
In our sessions, we are likely to touch on your life as it is now, how your life has been so far, and your wishes for the future. All within a confidential space.
An integrative counsellor, my counselling work is mainly person-centred, psychodynamic, and through a trauma-informed lens.
In addition to counselling, I have professional knowledge and experience of the health and social care sectors, charity sector, financial services and criminal justice system.
A Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I adhere to its Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions, details of which can be found here: bacp.co.uk.
Outdoor/walk & talk counselling takes the therapy outdoors. It can be an appealing option for many who find the formality of a traditional therapeutic setting uncomfortable, or for whom online or telephone sessions are not possible.
Outdoor therapy involves a gentle walk, or a sit down, in nature. It is not an intended therapeutic connection with nature, nor an exercise class, although benefits of both can still be experienced. The intended therapeutic outcomes remain centred on the client/counsellor relationship and the talking elements of therapy.
Locations are chosen to minimise intrusion and maximise privacy, although neither of these factors can be protected fully.
What you share in the sessions will, however, remain confidential.
