Does this sound like you?

Your child is struggling to go to school and you don’t know how to help

Mornings feel like a battle and everything ends in tears or shutdown

You feel anxious, overwhelmed, or constantly overthinking

You’re holding everything together on the outside, but struggling underneath

You just want someone to really listen without judgement

If even one of these feels familiar, you’re in the right place.

Children & Teen Therapy

Is your child struggling with anxiety or school-related stress, including EBSNA?

Is your child feeling overwhelmed, withdrawn, or under pressure?

Is your child finding it hard to cope with emotions or daily life?

I offer a calm and compassionate space for your child to understand what is happening within themselves and help them make sense of their feelings.

I tailor my sesions to your child’s individual needs, which can include working creatively (drawing, writing, talking, what ever feels easiest for them).

I will support your child to feel heard, understood and less overwhelmed.

Consultation £20 - 20 mins

30 min session - £50

50 min session - £80

Adult Therapy

Are you constantly overthinking, unable to switch your mind off?
Do you feel emotionally drained from holding everything together for everyone else?
Are you overwhelmed by work, life, or the pressure to keep going no matter what?
Are you navigating a big life change and struggling to find your footing?
Are you the one others rely on, but you don’t have space to be supported yourself?

I will support you without pressure or expectations to make sense of what you are feeling, even if it feels messy or confusing.

Together we will explore what is really going on beneath the surface to help you feel calmer, more in control, build your confidence, and trust in yourself again.

Consultation £20 - 20 mins

How I work

I’m a therapist who offers a calm and supportive space where you can talk openly about whatever is on your mind. Many people come to therapy feeling unsure where to start, which is okay. My role is simply to walk alongside you while you make sense of things in your own way and at your own pace. I offer short-term ( upto 12 sessions) and long-term therapy online in Walthamstow, London E17, and across the UK. I aim to offer flexibility on a day and time which suits you, where ever possible.

I have experience supporting children, teens, and adults in schools and counselling services across East London and Essex, and I understand how anxiety, life pressures, and school difficulties can affect both young people and families.

Above all, my aim is to help you feel safe, heard, and supported.

Taking the first step can feel difficult. Many people feel unsure about contacting a therapist for the first time. That’s completely normal.

If you’d like to see whether therapy with me feels like the right fit, you’re welcome to book a 20 minute consultation or send me a message.

There’s no pressure to commit.

Just a chance to talk.

Testimonials

  • “Kelly is an asset to my son. He has ADD and she has provided him a tremendous amount of emotional support and continues to do so. Her experience within education settings is a bonus. I could not have gone through this without her knowledge and patience. My son is now showing more confidence and has become more social at school. I highly recommend Kelly to support your child.”

    Gemma H, London

  • “I decided to seek counselling because I was struggling to attend college due to my social anxiety. Kelly gave me a space where I could feel relaxed and talk about what was going on for me. I felt free to be open and share what was really going on inside and not worry about being judged. We worked together to control my over-thinking and for me to be kinder towards myself. Kelly has helped me get to a point where I am now more confident in myself and able to approach my peers at college. Since working with Kelly, I enjoy college a lot more and I am excited to start my second year!”

    CR, 17 - London

  • "I was directed towards Kelly by a colleague who had experienced her work and felt she would be ideally placed to support me through the needs I presented at the time that related to my children and feelings around generational understanding and acceptance. I couldn’t imagine what a younger therapist would have to offer as I perceived myself as a ‘worldly wise soon to be elder’ who held his own. I initially attempted to hold back, not wanting to be perceived as weak but soon found that Kelly held my hidden fragile self with care and respectful regard. I felt seen, heard and understood in a way I had previously felt was not attainable by one from a younger generation and was able to work through what transpired to be my own insecurities and fears. During our sessions, Kelly demonstrated a level of personable professionalism that felt effortless, was enabling and gave me the space to explore without judgement."
