About Me

Hi, I'm Keith.

I'm a qualified Integrative Counsellor and Coach based in Staffordshire, working with adults remotely via phone and video.

I know what it feels like to be lost inside your own head. To overthink everything. To feel like you're showing up for your life without really being present in it. To carry something heavy for so long that you've forgotten what it felt like to put it down.

I've been there. Not as a case study. Not as a training exercise. As a person.

That lived experience sits alongside my training, work and in everything I do. I didn't come to this work because it seemed like a good career. I came to it because it changed my life — and I wanted to offer that support to other people.

What I Do

Counselling: One-to-one, online, via phone or video. I work as an Integrative counsellor with person-centred humanistic therapy at my core. For adults who are ready to stop being lost in their inner world and start understanding it.

Coaching: For people who know something needs to change but aren't sure where to start — or who need someone genuinely in their corner while they get there.

Workshops: The stories we tell about ourselves are the most powerful force in our lives. These workshops help you find them, examine them, and, where necessary, rewrite them. I am always creating more. So keep checking back on that page for any updates.

Books and Poetry: Because sometimes the most powerful thing is finding yourself in someone else's words. I write fiction, children's stories, journals, and poetry — because I have never believed the creative and the clinical should be kept in separate rooms.

A Bit More About Me

I trained as an Integrative counsellor and hold an Honours Degree and a Postgraduate Certificate. Everything I do, I commit to and give it the respect it deserves. I ALWAYS see things through. I work with adults on a range of issues, including anxiety, burnout, self-esteem, identity, and the general weight of trying to figure out who you are and what you actually want from your life.

I also write. I have a catalogue of published books, including The Felix Adventures, Between Floors, and Pregnancy Journey — Mama, You've Got This, with more on the way. Writing and counselling are not separate things for me — they come from the same place, and they serve the same purpose. Helping people find their story.

If you want the longer version of how I got here — the full, honest, unfiltered account of the journey from where I started to where I am now — you can find it over on the blog. Or feel free to reach out. I am always happy to share it.

Want to Work Together?

The first conversation is always free. No commitment. No pressure. Just a conversation to see whether working together feels right.

Get in touch via the contact page whenever you're ready.

There's no right time to start. There's just the moment you decide to.
