About

I am an integrative psychotherapist with a strong foundation in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and I am currently completing my MSc in CBT. My primary degree is a BSc in Counselling and Psychotherapy.

I work primarily with adolescents and young adults aged 16–30, supporting clients who are navigating anxiety, low mood, stress, self-esteem difficulties, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. This stage of life often brings pressure around identity, expectations, relationships, education, work, and independence, and therapy can provide a supportive space to make sense of these experiences.

My work is CBT-informed, focusing on understanding the connections between thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and physical responses. I support clients in identifying unhelpful patterns, challenging self-critical or rigid thinking, and developing practical strategies to cope more effectively in daily life. CBT offers a structured and collaborative approach, and I aim to make therapy feel purposeful while remaining flexible and responsive to each individual.

Alongside core CBT techniques, I also draw from schema therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, and trauma-informed principles, particularly where early experiences or long-standing patterns continue to influence present-day difficulties. I believe effective therapy balances practical tools with a deeper understanding of how past experiences shape our relationship with ourselves and others.

I place strong emphasis on building a safe, respectful, and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship. Therapy is a collaborative process, and we work together at a pace that feels right for you.

I offer both in-person and online sessions and welcome clients from diverse backgrounds. Whether you are seeking structured, goal-focused CBT or a more exploratory approach informed by CBT principles, my aim is to help you develop clarity and confidence in managing life’s challenges.

Qualifications & Experience

Qualification I hold a BSc (Hons) in Counselling and Psychotherapy and I am currently completing an MSc in with a specialist focus on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). My postgraduate training places a strong emphasis on evidence-based practice, clinical formulation, and the ethical application of CBT within therapeutic work.

My training includes both academic and clinical components, supported by ongoing supervision and skills development. This ensures that my work with clients is informed by current research while remaining grounded, reflective, and responsive to individual needs.
Experience
3+ years in CBT
My work is CBT-informed and focused on helping adolescents and young adults make sense of what’s going on for them and find practical ways to cope.

I have experience working with clients aged 16–30 who are dealing with anxiety, low mood, stress, self-esteem issues, relationship difficulties, and feeling stuck or overwhelmed by life. Many of the people I work with feel pressure to have things figured out, struggle with self-criticism, or find their thoughts and emotions hard to manage day to day.

My approach helps clients understand how their thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and physical responses are connected. Together, we work on breaking unhelpful patterns, building coping skills, and developing more balanced ways of responding to challenges, both internally and in relationships.

Alongside CBT, I integrate elements of schema therapy, mindfulness, and trauma-informed practice when needed, particularly where early experiences or long-standing patterns continue to affect confidence, emotional regulation, or relationships.

I have experience working with both first-time therapy clients and those who have attended therapy before. I place strong importance on creating a space that feels safe, respectful, and non-judgmental, where clients can speak openly and work at a pace that feels right for them.
Approach My approach is collaborative, structured, and grounded in evidence-based practice. I aim to offer a space that feels supportive and practical, where clients can explore difficulties at a pace that feels manageable.

Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, I work with clients to make sense of their experiences within the wider context of their lives. This allows us to identify patterns, gain insight, and agree on realistic, meaningful goals for therapy.

I value transparency in the therapeutic process and believe it is important that clients understand the work we are doing together. Sessions are guided by curiosity, compassion, and respect, with an emphasis on building skills and confidence over time.

The therapeutic relationship is central to my work, and I place strong importance on creating a safe, non-judgmental environment where clients feel heard, understood, and supported.

★★★★★★
Been with Kevin now 2 years and don’t think there is enough words to put out there in how much he has helped me. I’m a completely changed person with he’s help and support. Learning about myself, becoming a better person to be a better mother. I would never speak about things that happened in my life, I was very much a closed book but coming to Kevin I’m the complete opposite. The amount of help and support Kevin gives is phenomenal. Beyond grateful to have him has counsellor.
