Kay Player

I offer telephone and video calling on line appointments and presently have a limited availability for face to face appointments. Please contact me to enquire.

I work with an integrative approach drawing from mainstream theoretical perspectives.   I am a highly empathic counsellor and use an integrative approach, using the insights and techniques from a range of counselling models to help provide a unique therapy for each client’s individual needs. 

Feelings of anxiety and depression can be alleviated by enabling a person to build their self esteem and develop self awareness. This in turn helps them to be more confident to make decisions. Feeling better equipped to make decisions happens by reflecting on and challenging existing behaviours, thoughts and feelings. Some existing behaviours are simply outdated or just not relevant to a particular situation. 

The process of grief is widely misunderstood and often underestimated. I specialise in enabling people to adjust following bereavement, loss and change, focusing on what it is like to be human in a world where time to process grief is usually very limited.

Due to social distancing requirements at the moment, I presently practice in a large, private room which is in a local community centre.  The centre is centrally located, within walking distance of the main line railway station or, if travelling by car, parking is available.  

Telephone and online appointments also available.

I offer all potential clients an initial free half-hour telephone consultation.  At our first full session, I will explain my confidentiality policy, take contact information from you and a brief history and details of what has brought you to counselling.
