Kelly Paterson DipHIC, MBACP

I am a warm, friendly and effective counsellor, who welcomes the whole of you to take part in the process of therapy, at a pace that suits you. Alongside fundamental qualities of empathy, acceptance and authenticity, I'll bring humour and challenge to our work. The relationship we develop will support you to explore and understand difficult issues; increase self awareness; and improve connection to self and others.

I work with a full range of presenting issues such as anxiety, depression, self esteem, relationship issues or loss. Specific experience includes working with young adults; people with drug or alcohol issues; and a background in the creative industries gives me an understanding of the creative process.

I strive to meet you exactly where you are in your journey, so that together we can explore, reflect and heal. My aim is to help you work towards a more positive sense of self, increasing self-compassion and forging new, more positive relationships with those around you.
