Walking your path with support
A Supportive Space to Be Heard and Understood
I’m Kay, a fully qualified counsellor and a registered member of the BACP (MBACP). I came into counselling through a deep belief that people deserve a space where they can feel heard and understood.
Over the years, I’ve found myself drawn to supporting others, gaining experience working with individuals, children and families. This has included supporting people navigating financial pressures, fertility challenges, neurodivergent individuals, and those within the LGBTQIA+ community. These experiences have helped me understand the importance of creating a space where everyone feels welcomed, respected, and able to explore what they’re going through at their own pace.
Support for all adults
Feeling low, anxious, overwhelmed by family pressures, or carrying the impact of difficult experiences whether emotional, financial or physical. Alongside this, many people hold the pressures, identities, and emotional load many carry. I’m especially passionate about supporting clients who have spent time masking, coping alone, or feeling misunderstood.
How I Work
Confidential & Collaborative Counselling
If I am your counsellor, I will provide a confidential, consistent, and respectful space where you can explore whatever is on your mind. I will work collaboratively with you, helping you reflect on patterns, understand your emotions, and develop insight into what you need. Your privacy and safety are important to me. I am fully insured, registered with the ICO, and follow UK GDPR so that all personal information is kept secure and confidential.
Calm, Supportive Online Therapy
My approach is gentle, thoughtful, and centred around your pace and your goals. I offer a calm, supportive space where you can talk openly, explore what’s going on for you, and feel heard without judgement. I work online with clients across the UK, creating a grounded environment that helps people feel safe enough to slow down, breathe, and begin making sense of their experiences.
Person Centred Approach Tailored to You
I work from a predominantly person centred approach, which means I focus on creating a warm, non judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. I also enjoy bringing in elements from different therapeutic models when they can enhance our work together and support your individual needs. At Ivy Path Counselling, every story is welcomed, and every path is valid.
What issues can counselling help with?
I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, and the emotional challenges that can come from everyday life, relationships, and past experiences.
My aim is to offer a calm, compassionate space where you can explore your experiences, understand yourself more deeply, and grow in the direction that feels right for you. Counselling can provide a steady place to pause, reflect and feel heard, especially when life feels overwhelming or isolating. Here are a few difficulties that can be supported through counselling:
Stress
Trauma
Depression
ADHD
Problems with confidence or self-esteem
Anxiety
Fertility issues
Emotional abuse
Neurodiversity
Anger
Autism
LGBTQIA+ Relationship problems
AuDHD
Disabilities
Family Issues
Abuse
Infertility
Pregnancy and birth
What Clients Say
Online Counselling
I offer online counselling sessions, working with clients in Southend-on-Sea, across Essex, and throughout the UK. Online therapy provides flexibility and accessibility, allowing you to access support from the comfort and privacy of your own space.
Although I am based in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, I currently offer online sessions only. This means you can attend counselling wherever you are in the UK, without the need to travel. Many clients find that meeting online helps them feel more at ease, creating a familiar environment where they can speak openly and reflect at their own pace. Online counselling can be just as effective as in-person therapy, offering a consistent and confidential space to explore your thoughts and emotions. All you need is a quiet space and a stable internet connection.
Sessions & Fees
Payment is made by bank transfer before each session begins. Alternative card methods including Apple and Google Pay are also accepted. Details will be provided once we arrange your first appointment.
