Kenneth Barker-Graham

Hi my name is Ken.

Life at times can be challenging and when we are not feeling ourselves, everyday issues and stresses can easily become unmanageable. We all need help and support at some point in our lives and I am here to support you when you feel ready to ask for help.

I have been qualified as a counsellor since 2016 and offer a safe, warm and non-judgemental environment to explore your thoughts and feelings on a 1-1 basis in my office in Burnley centre. As a counsellor I work in an Integrative Person Centred way which means you are the focus of our time together. I will work alongside you, assisting you to explore the issues of main concern. I accompany my work with other counselling techniques and creativity as and when needed.

I have extensive experience of working with 14 year olds and over through Bereavement and Suicide, and I understand the complexities of loss and change when someone loses a loved one. Understanding, often it can be hard to imagine a future without them. But working together, I will support you to a state of acceptance of your 'new normal'.

I have supported members of the LGBTQI community - whether the issues were associated to their status or not and I understand the different pronouns, identities, terminology and subsections that people associate with and the fears and worries that they may have.

I also support clients who may present with many varied different issues and concerns

I have also many years experience of working with individuals with learning disabilities (including Downs Syndrome, Autism and Asperger Syndrome), their families and carers and people with Mental Health issues.
