My name is Kelly, I am a qualified Counsellor and Psychotherapist based in Kirkcaldy just off the high street. I work Integratively, meaning I pull different parts of counselling together to shape a unique and tailor-made approach to your counselling sessions.
Bringing person-centred, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), Polyvagal theory, Psychodynamic, internal family system and Gestalt together allows me to work collaboratively with you to support your therapy sessions in fitting your needs.
Before training as a counsellor, I studied social science, which allowed me to develop a systemic understanding of our world. Similarly to my work as an integrative counsellor, studying social science has allowed me to bring elements of sociology, history, politics and psychology into my work and has allowed me to develop a broad and diverse understanding of ‘being human.’
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). This means my training and qualifications have met the criteria set by the BACP. As a registered member of the BACP, I have undertaken examinations that confirm I meet these criteria and ensure I am upholding Ethical standards through training, supervision, continuing professional development and a contractual commitment to the Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions.
Some of my Training includes:
Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy
COSCA Counselling Skills Certificate
BACP Registered Member (MBACP)
Supporting Autism & Neurodiversity Training
