Kay also addresses issues such as ADHD and the ways it can affect daily routine and sleep.
In sessions she draws on client-centred ways of working, cognitive behavioural techniques and emotion-focused ideas to help people change unhelpful patterns. Motivational interviewing and trauma-focused methods are also part of her practice when relevant. Conversations are practical and aim to leave people with manageable steps they can try between sessions.
People who choose Kay can expect calm, direct conversations about what is causing distress and realistic steps forward. She works in the United Kingdom and offers support in English. If you are looking for help with sleeping, addiction, anxiety or related concerns, Kay can be a conversational guide to planning change.
How Kay’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding the person’s experience and building a trusting conversation. It helps when people need a space to be heard and to make sense of their thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and offers clear strategies and exercises to try between sessions. It is often used for anxiety, sleep problems and mood difficulties.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Kay will work with each person to decide which methods best match their situation, goals and preferences. That decision can change over time as the work progresses and new issues become clearer.
If you are thinking about online work, please confirm the exact session formats before booking because the biography doesn’t list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow quick check-ins when needed. They can also let someone join from a quieter setting or choose shorter sessions for a focused check-in. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find online options useful for maintaining continuity of care across locations.
