About me and my practice
I work online via email and video call from my garden office in Surrey and in places of beauty in natural areas surrounding Godalming, Surrey.
As an integrative counsellor, I don't believe in one size fits all therapy. Instead of making you fit therapy, we will work together to adapt therapy around who you are, the life you live and the way you want to be living it. I believe you are the expert in your life and together well shine a light on the skills you already have, where you have control to make changes and equip you with the tools to make them.
I offer email counselling via proton a secure email system.
Email counselling has all the benefits of traditional face to face counselling as well as that of journaling. Our time together can be short term and focused on a specific goal, long term or open ended. If you'd like more information about how this works or to arrange a free trial session get in touch.
I provide online counselling sessions via video call, each session is 50 minutes and we will usually meet at the same day and time each week. I offer a free 15 minute call to talk about how can help and make sure we're a good fit.
Experience
I have experience of working with a range of issues such as Anxiety, Depression, Low Self-Esteem and Burnout. together we will identify how these challenges are keeping hold and ways to move out from underneath them so you can feel confident, connected and back in control.
I specialise in working with parents of neurodivergent children and alongside my private practice I am the counselling lead for Express CIC a not for profit organisation supporting Autistic people and their families. I recently wrote a blog for them titled Refuelling the Care Giver which you can read here: https://www.expresscic.org.uk/post/refuelling-the-care-giver
I also have a special interest in working with pre and postnatal mental health, my passion for this work is rooted in my own challenges with postnatal depression and birth trauma.

Initial Consultation
Our first session is about us getting to know each other and starting to lay the foundations for our work together. We'll have a few house keeping things to talk through, but other than that the session is for you to use however you need.
Everyone needs something slightly different from the first session, whether you've been desperate to get things of your chest, or would like to discuss a plan of action I will follow your lead. Sometimes you might need a little guidance or support at the beginning and I can offer this too.
If you'd like you can read more about the first session with me on my blog: https://kmccounselling.co.uk/2024/10/31/the-adventure-begins-what-is-the-first-session-like/
