Welcome to my page,
lets get started.
Here to listen, here to help. You don't have to walk this path alone.
About Me
Hi, I’m Kieran—welcome. I believe real change happens when we feel truly heard and understood.
You are the expert on you. Within yourself, you already have the means to change, if that’s what you want. My place is simply to help shine a light, guiding you toward what’s already within reach.
I know what it’s like to search for peace, to long for someone who really listens, without judgment. My journey into counselling wasn’t just academic, it
was personal. I’ve been where you might be now, looking for support, clarity, and a fresh perspective. I’ve felt that lost feeling, knowing something needs
to change but not knowing where to begin.
That experience shaped how I work: warm, supportive, no jargon, just real conversations that help you move forward. With accredited qualifications in counselling and membership in the British Association of Counselling Practice, I ensure the support I offer is ethical, safe, and effective.
I come from a background in engineering and that taught me to think outside the box and approach challenges with curiosity and problem-solving, a mindset I bring to therapy every day, helping you uncover the best way forward.
I value authenticity and connection. You’ll always get my honest, authentic self in our sessions, along with a sprinkling of humour and a lot of heart. When I’m not working with clients, I’m often out hiking in the great outdoors or spending time with my loyal dogs, which reminds me of the importance of finding balance and joy in life.
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me. I look forward to meeting you and creating a space where you feel truly heard and understood. Together we can find a way for you to move forward with confidence.

Navigating Challenges
I love helping people find their way through life’s challenges, whether that involves coping with stress, managing anxiety, or navigating major life changes. I believe that every individual deserves to feel heard, understood, supported, and empowered to make positive changes. That’s why I create a warm, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace. Knowing you have somewhere to really open up and not fear judgement can be really helpful in exploring what is holding you back.
My Approach
Therapy should feel like a conversation, not an examination.
I like to create a space where people can bring their challenges, big or small, and feel truly heard. My counselling style is adaptable and down-to-earth, blending professional insight with real-world practicality. I don’t believe in
one-size-fits-all solutions; instead, I work with you to find what actually
works.
With a background in engineering, I naturally lean toward problem-solving,
but therapy isn’t just about fixing things, it’s about understanding, growing,
and sometimes even laughing through the mess.
Life can be complicated, but that doesn’t mean therapy has to be.
My goal is to help people navigate their own path with clarity, confidence, and a little more ease.
Your Journey
More than anything, I see therapy as a collaborative journey. My role is to walk alongside you as you uncover your strengths, build resilience, and take meaningful steps toward the life you want to create. Together, we’ll work on finding clarity and balance, so you can move forward with renewed confidence.
