Keya Edwards

Are you struggling, living with anxiety or depression, feeling down or going through a life changing event? Are you feeling disconnected, lost or stuck? I am a qualified integrative counsellor, working with adults and couples, providing a safe space to explore these feelings. I am committed to making a difference to my client’s lives and offer a warm, non-judgemental, compassionate and confidential counselling service working from Stockport and remotely.

I like to a build strong and secure relationship with my clients, one based on trust, where you are fully free to be yourself and feel safe to discuss any difficulties you are facing. My aim is to support you whilst we explore what’s happening, gain insight as to why, and by working together, help you overcome these issues and bring positive change. Together, we will look at your patterns of behaviour, attachment styles, your needs and how you communicate these, learn about your coping strategies (do you abandon yourself, are you a chronic people pleaser, are you living in survival mode) - explore the root of these and whether they are helpful to you or getting in the way of living in the way you’d like to. Whatever it is, counselling can help work with these feelings in a warm and supportive environment where you are seen and heard in confidence and without  judgement. 

I have lots of experience of working with clients from all backgrounds with a wide range of reasons for seeking therapy. Everyday I work with people going though the most difficult of times and I believe that through the connection we build and the work we do together you will have a better understanding of who you really are, have compassion for yourself, feel more connected to others and have a sense of your purpose and direction in life.  

I offer a free initial 20 minute phone call where you can ask any questions you may have and to ensure we are a good fit so that you feel comfortable moving forward. I offer face to face and video call sessions – evening appointments are also available. I understand how daunting taking the first step into therapy can be so please feel free to use whichever method of contact you feel most comfortable with - email, text or WhatsApp and I’ll respond as soon as possible.

Clients of all ages and from all backgrounds come to therapy for many different reasons. I feel privileged to have supported my clients with many issues, including: depression, low self-esteem, grief, shame, stress, anxiety, family and relationship issues, negative thoughts, bereavement, and abuse.

I am a member of the BACP and adhere to their ethical framework. No two therapies look the same and as a qualified integrative counsellor I draw on a combination of Person Centred Therapy (PCT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Transactional Analysis (TA) to tailor our work together to suit your unique needs. I have recently completed my EMDR training and am - if you are looking for EMDR therapy please get in touch.

I'm a qualified counsellor working with adults and couples in Stockport and online, offering a warm, compassionate, confidential, and non-judgemental space for therapy.

Alongside my private practice, I also work as an NHS counsellor, supporting individuals and families affected by cancer and bereavement. This role has deepened my understanding of the emotional impact of life-changing diagnoses and the strength it takes to navigate grief, fear, uncertainty, and hope. It’s an immense privilege to hold space for people during some of the most vulnerable and challenging times of their lives.

In all areas of my work, I’m committed to helping people make meaningful and lasting changes. As a qualified integrative counsellor, I tailor our work together using a blend of Person-Centred Therapy (PCT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Transactional Analysis (TA)—approaches that allow me to adapt to your unique needs and experiences. I am also a trained EMDR therapist, which enables me to offer effective trauma-focused therapy as part of our work.

I believe that change starts with connection. I aim to build a strong, trusting relationship with my clients—one where you feel safe to be fully yourself, explore what’s going on, and feel heard without judgement.

Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns, I’m here to support you. We’ll look together at how your past and present experiences are shaping your thoughts, behaviours, and relationships—examining things like attachment styles, emotional needs, communication, and coping mechanisms. Are you constantly people-pleasing, shutting down, or living in survival mode? Do you find yourself abandoning your own needs? We'll explore the roots of these patterns, understand why they developed, and work on building new ways of relating—to yourself and others.

Whatever you're going through, you don’t have to face it alone. I’m here to walk alongside you—at your pace, in your time.

I have experience working with individuals from a wide range of backgrounds, and I deeply respect the courage it takes to begin therapy.
