Kayleigh Fearn

Psychotherapist BACP, UKCP (Acc.)

Hello, I’m Kayleigh, an accredited psychotherapist working with children, young people and adults.

I have over 15 years’ experience working in education, including many years supporting children and young people with Special Educational Needs. Alongside my psychotherapy practice, this experience has given me a deep understanding of the challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals and their families. I specialise in working with ADHD, Autism, SEND and provide neurodiversity-affirming therapy that recognises and values individual differences.

I support clients with a wide range of difficulties including anxiety, low mood/depression, self harm, suicidal thoughts, substance abuse, problems with anger, issues around food/eating, OCD, relationship challenges, trauma and grief.

My approach is integrative and tailored to each individual. I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy, and I draw upon a range of therapeutic approaches to meet the unique needs of each client.

Qualifications

• Level 7 Diploma in Psychotherapy
• Level 6 Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling (children and young people)
• Safeguarding (Levels 1 & 2)
• FdSc Child Psychology

Hayley Wilkinson

Psychotherapeutic Counsellor

I am a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor specialising in relationship difficulties, anxiety and suffering following a traumatic experience. I am here to help you explore and understand who you are, your relationships, your problems and your life. My therapeutic style is about prioritising your wellbeing, self-discovery and growth. I believe that by better understanding ourselves and our actions, we can move towards healing. The relationship formed between the client and their therapist is the most important part of therapy and I will work to make sure that the process is collaborative and, when needed, challenging.

My integrative approach is tailored to your needs and includes practical coping strategies, talking to help make sense of things and creative methods such as guided imagery. I understand how hard it can be to come to therapy for the first time, you may worry about being judged and feel that your worries and feelings are not as important as those around you.

You may feel nervous, anxious or scared about starting your therapy journey. I have been where you are now and making that phone call or sending an email is the hardest step. If this sounds like you, please get in touch for a free 20 minute phone consultation.

Hilary Dancing

Hands-on therapeutic body–mind support

I have been working in the therapeutic and coaching field since 2014. My work brings together body-based awareness, coaching and energy-informed practice to support the release of tension and a return to greater balance.

Rather than focusing on a single symptom, I work with the whole person, supporting the body and nervous system to find greater alignment and calm. People often seek support for stress, anxiety, burnout, persistent fatigue, low mood, recurring injuries, ongoing physical conditions, tension, or a sense of being out of balance, including challenges like sensory overload. Sessions are gentle, restorative, and guided by what your system is ready for.

Qualifications include:

Touch for Health Kinesiology – Proficiency
Energetic Cellular Healing – Certified
Professional Coaching Certification
MA (Oxon)
Member of the Federation of Holistic Therapists

Neurodiverse - and HSP-aware

Owen Shiels

MBACP (Reg.)

Hi, I’m Owen, a BACP-registered psychotherapeutic counsellor.

I work with adults who feel stuck in the way they relate to themselves and others, and who want to understand the patterns that keep them feeling small, conflicted or unable to fully be themselves.

My work is about helping you make sense of the patterns you find yourself caught in, rather than treating them as things to simply fix or push through. We’ll look at why those patterns may have made sense, how they show up now, and what they cost you. Over time, the work we do together can help you feel less ruled by old expectations, more able to trust your own judgement, be clearer about your boundaries, and freer to be yourself in your relationships and choices.

Qualifications and memberships:

• Level 6 Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling (Adults)
• BACP Registered Member
• Safeguarding vulnerable adults (Level 1)
• Certificate in Online and Telephone counselling
