Hi I am Ken. (He/Him)
Are you a member of the LGBTQI+ community looking for therapy? I have worked at both the LGBT Foundation and also in private practice, I have supported individuals and couples. Some issues clients have come to me with include self-identity; I understand the different pronouns, terminology and subsections that people associate with. Worries and fears of coming out to family and friends; and social stigma. In my couples work I have supported clients negotiating diverse relationship needs and different types of relationships, communication issues and relationship breakdown. I can also support you with none LGBT related issues.
Working together I can support you as an individual to build your self-worth, confidence and to become your true self. My couples I support with a better understanding of each other's communication styles and needs, and to achieve a sense of the way forward.
I also support non LGBTQI+ couples with communication, conflict and worries about relationship breakdown.
With extensive experience of supporting clients through Bereavement and Suicide, I understand the complexities of loss and change when someone loses a loved one. Understanding, often it can be hard imagining a future without them. Working together, I will support you to a state of living of your 'new normal'. I also understand those complex unanswered questions you may have after someone has taken their own life, why me?, why did this happen? We can work through these together.
I also support clients presenting with many varied different issues and concerns
I have over 20 years experience of working with individuals with, Autism, learning disabilities, their families and carers. in previous roles and in counselling situations.
