Psychodynamic counselling · Epsom & online

A space to feel,
a space to heal.

Sometimes, the things we struggle with have deeper roots than we realise.

You may be experiencing anxiety or low mood, finding relationships difficult, coping with loss, or living with the lasting impact of painful experiences.

Hello, I’m Kelly. I’m a BACP-registered psychodynamic therapist offering one-to-one therapy to adults in Epsom and online across the UK.

I offer a space to explore what’s troubling you, make sense of difficult experiences and develop a deeper understanding of yourself.

Online UK-wide and in-person at The White House Health and Wellness Centre, Epsom.

Frequently asked questions

What is counselling and how can it help me?

Counselling is a supportive space to explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviours with a trained therapist. It can help you understand yourself better, navigate challenges and make meaningful changes in your life.

What can I expect at my first session?

During the initial consultation, we’ll talk about what has brought you to counselling, what you hope to gain and how we might work together. It’s also an opportunity to ask questions and get a feel for whether this approach feels right for you. The consultation lasts 60–75 minutes and costs £65.

Are our sessions confidential?

What you share is confidential, with some exceptions, such as a risk of serious harm to you or someone else, or where disclosure is legally required. I also discuss my work in regular professional supervision, without sharing identifying details about you. We can talk through any questions about confidentiality at the outset.

How many sessions will I need?

This varies from person to person. Some people find a few sessions helpful, while others benefit from longer-term therapy. We can review how the work is going together as we go along. I offer sessions in person in Epsom and online.
