Meet Me

Counselling

Hello, I'm Kelly, a qualified person-centred counsellor offering a warm, down-to-earth approach to therapy.

Sometimes life can feel like a constant balancing act. Between work, family, relationships and everyday responsibilities, it's easy to lose sight of ourselves. You might be feeling anxious, struggling with your confidence, dealing with difficult relationships or finding that a challenging working environment has left you feeling undervalued, unheard or questioning yourself.

With over 25 years of experience in healthcare, predominantly within the NHS, I bring a wealth of professional and life experience to my counselling practice. Having completed a Bachelor of Science degree, alongside further professional training and qualifications, I've always valued learning, personal growth and understanding people.

Alongside my career, I've raised a family, managed businesses and balanced the demands of studying with work and home life. I understand how overwhelming these competing responsibilities can become, particularly when we're so busy meeting everyone else's needs that our own wellbeing takes a back seat.

I also have experience working within addiction services, supporting individuals through substance misuse, recovery, relapse and the challenges of making meaningful changes.

What can you expect from counselling with me?

My approach is person-centred, informed by experiential techniques. This means our sessions are guided by you and what feels important in the moment. Alongside talking through your experiences, we may explore the emotions and feelings beneath them, helping you develop a deeper understanding of yourself.

I believe counselling should feel like a genuine conversation. You don't need to have everything figured out, know exactly what to say or even understand why you're feeling the way you do.

I'm not here to tell you what decisions to make or how you should live your life. Instead, I'll work alongside you, offering understanding, honesty and a space to explore what's happening, recognise patterns and find a way forward that feels right for you.

You don't need to be in crisis to benefit from counselling. Sometimes it's simply about understanding yourself better, building confidence, recognising unhelpful patterns or finding a different way of approaching life's challenges.

Sessions and availability

I offer face-to-face counselling at Natural Fitness & Therapy Centre in Eastbourne, as well as online sessions.

£60 per 50-minute session.

I also offer a free initial telephone consultation, because finding the right counsellor matters. It's an opportunity for us to have a relaxed conversation, ask questions and see whether we feel comfortable working together.
