Welcome to my page,
lets get started.
Here to listen, here to help. You don't have to walk this path alone.
About Me
Hi, I’m Kieran—welcome.
If you’re someone who prides yourself on logic and independence, but quietly wonders why things still feel off… I hear you. I help untangle overwhelm, stress, and emotional strain with therapy that’s structured, ethical, and grounded in real-world experience.
I come from an engineering background, where precision and problem-solving were second nature. But even systems need space to breathe and people are more complex than machines. That realisation led me into the world of counselling, where I now bring the same structured mindset to help you make sense of what feels tangled.
Whether you’re juggling intense thoughts, navigating relationships, or just tired of holding everything together alone, you don’t have to keep powering through. My work is grounded in integrity, respect, and the belief that change happens when you’re truly heard without judgment, pressure, or jargon.
Therapy doesn’t have to be mysterious. In our sessions, you'll find clarity, calm, and direction. We’ll move at your pace, guided by your goals. You’ll get space to explore, ask tough questions, and rethink patterns—with me alongside as a steady, human presence.
Many of my clients are analytical thinkers who appreciate privacy, structure, and gentle challenge—but if something here speaks to you, you're in the right place.
I come from an engineering background, where curiosity and precision went hand-in-hand. That mindset hasn’t gone anywhere today, I bring the same thoughtful approach to therapy. I’ll help you untangle overwhelm, spot patterns, and uncover the most workable path forward. No psychobabble. No pressure. Just honest, focused support tailored to how you think best.
I value authenticity and connection. In sessions, you’ll get my real self: thoughtful, gently challenging, with the occasional laugh and always a lot of honesty. Therapy doesn’t have to feel clinical or confusing. It can be human, steady, and quietly transformational.
Outside the therapy room, I reset by hiking in nature or spending time with my dogs—the grounding presence they bring is a reminder of what balance and joy really look like. It’s this calm steadiness that I aim to bring to each session, even when life feels anything but steady.
Thanks for taking the time to learn more. Whether you’re an analytical thinker wrestling with emotional tension, or just someone ready to make a change—I’m here for it. Let’s create a space where you feel truly heard and understood, and find a way forward that fits you.

Navigating Challenges
You might be someone who’s used to solving problems, staying composed, and keeping things running smoothly—for others, at work, or just in life. But beneath that surface, things might feel tangled: stress that won’t switch off, relationships that feel distant, or a quiet sense that something’s missing.
Therapy isn’t about fixing you—it’s about creating space to explore what’s really going on, without judgment or pressure. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just tired of carrying it all alone, I offer a calm, structured space to help you make sense of it.
My Approach
Therapy should feel like a conversation, not an examination. I like to create a space where people can bring their challenges, big or small, and feel truly heard. My counselling style is adaptable and down-to-earth, blending professional insight with real-world practicality.
I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, I work with you to find what actually fits—your life, your values, and your way of thinking. With a background in engineering, I naturally lean toward problem-solving, but therapy isn’t just about fixing things. It’s about understanding, growing, and sometimes even laughing through the mess.
If you’re someone who thinks in systems, frameworks, or logic, we can use that to make sense of what’s going on beneath the surface. And if you’re navigating life abroad or adjusting to new roles, I offer a space to unpack the complexity without judgment.
Life can be complicated, but therapy doesn’t have to be. My goal is to help you navigate your own path with clarity, confidence, and a little more ease
Your Journey
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you’re used to handling things on your own. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply curious about what might shift, this is a space where you can slow down and explore things at your own pace.
You don’t need to have all the answers, or even the right words. We’ll figure things out together, one conversation at a time. Some sessions might feel reflective, others more practical. What matters is that they feel useful, honest, and grounded in what you need.
If you’re someone who values clarity, structure, or a bit of humour along the way, you’ll likely feel at home here. Therapy isn’t about becoming someone else—it’s about reconnecting with who you are, and finding new ways to move forward with confidence
