You don’t have to carry everything on your own.
Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, and it can be hard to know who to talk to.
Therapy offers a calm and supportive space where you can talk openly, feel understood, and begin to move forward.
I support young people, adults, and families who may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or struggling with school or life pressures.
You’re welcome to reach out even if you’re unsure whether therapy is right for you.
Many people feel nervous about reaching out for therapy. That’s completely normal.
If you’re new here
If you’ve found your way here, you may be looking for someone to talk to about things that feel difficult, overwhelming, or hard to explain.
Many people arrive feeling anxious, stuck, emotionally exhausted, or unsure where to turn for support.
My role is to offer a calm and supportive space where you can talk openly, feel heard, and begin to make sense of what you’re going through.
Therapy doesn’t require you to have everything figured out.
We simply start wherever you are.
YOU’RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE IF:
• you feel overwhelmed or anxious more often than you’d like
• you’re carrying things that feel too heavy to deal with alone
• you want a space where you can talk without feeling judged
• you’re worried about your child’s anxiety or school difficulties
• you simply need someone to listen and help you make sense of things
DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU?
You might be feeling…
• constantly anxious or overthinking everything
• emotionally exhausted from trying to hold everything together
• overwhelmed by work, study, or life pressures
• someone others rely on, but you rarely have space to talk about your own struggles
• worried about your child’s anxiety around school
Many people wait a long time before reaching out for support.
You don’t have to keep dealing with everything on your own.
HOW THERAPY CAN HELP
Therapy gives you space to breathe, think, and be heard.
Together we can:
• explore what’s really going on beneath the surface
• understand the thoughts and feelings that feel overwhelming
• work through difficult experiences
• help you feel calmer and more in control
• build confidence and trust in yourself again
There is no pressure to have everything figured out before starting.
We simply begin with whatever feels important to you.
COMMON REASONS PEOPLE REACH OUT
People often contact me for support with:
• anxiety and overthinking
• stress and feeling overwhelmed
• low confidence
• relationship or family difficulties
• school anxiety
• feeling stuck or lost in life
You don’t need to be in crisis to reach out.
Sometimes having space to talk can make all the difference.
SUPPORT FOR PARENTS
Is your child struggling to go to school?
When a child is struggling with school, it can leave parents feeling worried, helpless, and unsure what to do next.
You may be seeing things like:
• anxiety or panic before school
• tears or emotional shutdowns in the morning
• stomach aches or feeling unwell before leaving the house
• growing tension around school attendance
• your child saying they simply can’t face going in
This situation can be incredibly stressful for families.
You are not alone in this.
How counselling can help young people
Counselling gives young people a safe space where they can talk about their worries without feeling pressure or judgement.
It can help them:
• understand their feelings
• feel less overwhelmed by anxiety
• build confidence again
• begin to feel safer about school
Support always moves at a pace that feels manageable for the young person.
Support for parents too
Supporting a child through school anxiety can feel isolating.
Many parents feel unsure how to help or worry they are doing the wrong thing.
Part of the work can involve helping parents better understand what their child is experiencing and finding ways to make things feel calmer at home.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THERAPY
Starting therapy can feel like a big step.
Many people worry about what they will say or whether they will say the “right” thing.
There is no right or wrong way to start.
In our sessions you can talk about whatever feels important to you.
Some people arrive knowing exactly what they want to discuss, while others simply begin with how they have been feeling recently.
My role is to listen and support you while you explore things at a pace that feels comfortable.

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.”

“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!”

"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."
