About Me

Kelly-Anne

BACP REGISTERED COUNSELLOR

Hello and thank you for taking the time to read through my profile.
I have always had a passion for working in roles that can help others, from Teaching, running my own Drama School for children with Disabilities to Counselling. 
I have encountered my own struggles, having experienced anxiety, low mood and feeling like I'd never escape from it.  But after seeking Counselling  I was able to see things differently and recognise how to work with the anxiety and low mood, managing it more effectively. 
I believe having experienced this myself, I have a good understanding around this subject, a large 'toolbox' of strategies and can recognise what can help or hinder. I also believe that experiencing challenging times can help create resilience, strength, courage, autonomy and enhancing self-awareness.
As well as my counselling experience of working with anxiety and low mood, I also have a depth of experience and specialism in other areas, such as Autism/ADHD having raised an autistic son- now an adult and working in this area for 20+ years.  
The variety of roles working with Children and Adults over the years and my training and experience as a Counsellor, has given me a great insight into the diversity and needs of each individual and has enabled me to run a successful private practise in Counselling, working with each person in a holistic sense. 
This year I was humbled to receive an award for 'Most Dedicated Children's Counselling Service-2021' by Southern Enterprise Awards.
On my days away from Counselling I enjoy days out with my family, Performing in plays, musicals and pantomimes , National Trust visits, swimming and walks in the woods.
