Therapeutic Counsellor Kelly Giles

My approach is relaxed, friendly and centred around creating a clear space for you to explore areas/changes you'd like to figure out. 

You might have a clear idea of what you need from therapy; you may just have a sense that things don't feel right at the moment. 

Therapy sessions can be very helpful for -

•  Managing stress 
• Anger and its purpose, exploring beyond anger
  
• Coping & understanding anxiety, depression/both
  
• Healing past wounds by addressing traumatic experiences
• Improving communication
• Discovering your life direction and purpose 
  
• Relationship struggles
• A recent diagnosis
• Navigating important life changes   

Whatever the current struggle you want to work on, I aim to provide a space away from the pressures of everyday life, offering a chance for a genuine exploration of self, meaning-making and self-compassion. 

Quite often, we are so busy with life and looking after others, that we forget to check-in with ourselves. It's quite common for people to not really know what they need for themselves when I ask them, but they do know they are struggling. Our work together will be about you and what you are needing to feel less overwhelmed. 

I am a qualified and registered integrative counsellor, with a particular focus on trauma healing. This means my practice is tailored to meet your unique experiences and individual needs. I approach therapy in a more personalised way rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. It's important we can work together at a pace that feels comfortable and right for you. Most importantly, you need to feel comfortable with your therapist. This doesn't mean that therapy is always comfortable, but that you feel I am the right fit for you at this time. I can also offer online work using zoom/phone.
