Kay Beardsley

If you are having issues with Anxiety, Panic Disorder, Depression, Family Issues etc. I can help.

Seeking counselling can be overshadowed by stigma and can feel quite daunting yet you've found the courage to take the first step! I can offer a safe confidential space so you are able to share your problems, tears and joys. I seek to facilitate your growth so life is less difficult and easier to make sense of; to unwrap your own self-awareness so you can feel comfortable in your own skin.

I am passionate and focused about my work and feel I can offer an element of creativity.

I believe I am a warm, empathic person; I will listen without judging you and offer support and challenge so together we can explore the areas/issues you choose - whilst I believe you have within you the resources to find the answers.

I feel working together in an in-depth relationship is the key that can enable therapeutic change. Relationships are co-created and unique so I hope I have the pleasure of walking alongside you.

I offer face-to-face individual counselling. Sessions are weekly and for 50 minutes from £50 – initial assessment from £50

Early appointments from 6.30 am - Free on road parking outside Close links to M1, M42 & A50 

‘A relationship with the therapist is what creates the medium in which derailed self-development can begin again.’ (Quote, Patricia A DeYoung)

Life begins at the end of your comfort zone -

Counselling is not easy; I truly believe that working hard in therapy hurts! I also believe it’s a wonderful kind of hurt!

It's okay if you feel vulnerable and unable to trust we can build on those foundations; you don't have to be lonely and suffer in silence.

- Nothing haunts us like the things we don’t say.

I aim to validate your experience and encourage you to identify changes you wish to achieve; to accompany you as you make sense of your life.

Long-term face-to-face counselling. 

Online counselling - dependant/certain circumstances.

Recent training workshops I've attended include; Addiction, Adaptation & Connection, insight into Substance Misuse, working with Self Harm, Eating Disorders, Attachment and Loss, Embodied Relational Process and Polarities, Working Creatively and Mindfulness based Stress Reduction.

Your first session with me will be an assessment. 

I will require your name & address & GP details. 

We will discuss your presenting issues & what you require from me as a therapist.

I will explain how I work & what I can offer you. 

This assessment is also for you to assess me.

We will then discuss if you and I would like to work together; depending on if we are the right fit for each other
