About me and my therapy practice

I work from counselling rooms in the heart of Leicester, ARC Counselling at Rutland House on Friar Lane. I've been a qualified & practising therapist in Leicestershire for almost 30 years, including 15 years in a medical (hospice) setting, 2 years in the UK prison service, 5 years with Relate, 5 years in independent practice and more than a decade in schools & colleges. I work with couples, individuals, young people & families and with clients living with the effects of childhood emotional, physical & sexual abuse. I consider client safety & confidentiality to be key factors in my counselling work, as well as sincerity & acceptance. My qualifications include – BA (Hons) Psychology & Sociology from the University of Tampa, Florida and MA (Dip) Death & Society from the University of Reading, UK. You can contact me directly on 07928302448 or e-mail kb57@live.co.uk & I aim to respond to all enquiries by the following morning at the latest.
