I currently work within the office Wednesday and Thursday. However I am flexible for telephone and online appointments.

I understand how hard it can to make the decision to come to counselling. Finding the ‘right’ counsellor, contacting them and coming to your first session. I’ve been there too. You mightn’t know what to expect from therapy or may not feel that it is the right route to take. Hopefully I can help.

I’m Kirby, a Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ registered Counsellor. My aim within therapy is to provide the individual with an opportunity to deal with life’s challenges in their own way and those that can help them to move forward. I believe that we all have a right to make our own choices and hope that I am able to help individuals to do so in a safe and confidential space. Counselling is a mutual collaboration and I hope that we can learn from each other. I am curious to learn from the life experiences of others.

I work with individuals from all age groups from primary age up to older adults. I do not have a ‘speciality’ but most of my experience comes from working with anxiety. I would consider myself to be a LGBTQ+ affirmative counsellor which I aim to develop my skills in. I also volunteer in bereavement support. 

When working with individuals I value the fact that we are all different. I therefore work differently with each individual, depending on their needs. If something isn't working then we can try something else. I respect openness and honesty. If you feel that we can work together please feel free to get in touch.

Before beginning sessions I do offer a free 30 minute chat whereby we would complete an initial assessment and this gives us the chance to get to know each other and for you to ask any questions. If you feel that we are a good fit we can then arrange sessions. There is however no obligation to continue.
