I currently have availability for online and telephone counselling sessions for adults across the UK. I offer daytime and limited evening and weekend appointments, with some flexibility for people who work shifts or have irregular routines. Out‑of‑hours sessions may be available on request.

My practice is designed to be accessible, especially for people who find it difficult to attend in‑person therapy or who prefer the privacy and comfort of working from home. Sessions are weekly unless we agree otherwise, and we will work at a pace that feels safe and manageable for you.

I take planned time off throughout the year and will always give you advance notice so we can prepare together.

If you’re unsure whether now is the right time to start therapy, I’m happy to offer a brief initial conversation so you can get a sense of how I work and what you might need.

Integrative Counsellor & Psychotherapist

My name is Ken. I’m a qualified integrative counsellor and psychotherapist, and I work with adults who’ve been carrying things for a long time — trauma, loss, pressure, identity struggles, relationship difficulties, or the kind of experiences that change how you see yourself and the world.

A lot of people I support are functioning day to day but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, tense, or stuck inside. You might have spent years coping alone, keeping things moving, but knowing something isn’t sitting right anymore. Therapy gives you a steady place to talk honestly, slow things down, and start making sense of what’s going on beneath the surface.

My journey

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in the military, engineering, and frontline support roles. I’ve seen how people hold things together on the outside while carrying a lot internally. Those experiences shape how I work grounded, calm, and without judgement. As a male therapist, some clients choose me because they feel more comfortable speaking with a man, especially around trauma, identity, or experiences that feel difficult to voice.

How I Work

I’m trained at postgraduate level (MA Integrative Counselling, BSc Counselling Psychology) with specialist trauma informed development. My approach is straightforward and collaborative. We work at your pace, looking at what’s affecting you, what’s keeping you stuck, and what helps you feel more regulated, more understood, and more connected to yourself again.

BlackSheep Wellbeing is a calm, steady space for adults who want to understand themselves better, make sense of what they’re carrying, and feel more grounded in their day‑to‑day life. My practice is built on the belief that therapy works best when you feel safe, respected and not judged for how you’ve coped or who you’ve had to be.

Sessions are collaborative and paced around you. Some people come wanting to talk through specific experiences; others arrive feeling stuck, overwhelmed or disconnected without knowing exactly why. You don’t need to have the right words or a clear story. We take our time, follow what feels important, and work gently with whatever comes up.

I draw on integrative and trauma‑informed approaches, but I don’t expect you to fit a model. Instead, we focus on building safety, regulation and a stronger sense of self so you can explore your experiences without becoming overwhelmed.

My background in the military, engineering and frontline support roles means I’m used to working with people who’ve lived through pressure, responsibility or difficult situations that changed them. I bring a grounded, real‑world understanding to the work, alongside professional training and ongoing development.

I offer online and telephone sessions for adults across the UK. Therapy with me is honest, steady and human a space where you don’t have to hold everything together.

Choosing a therapist isn’t easy. You’re letting someone into parts of your life you’ve probably carried alone for a long time, so the fit has to feel right. The first session is a free 20 minute chat where we see if there’s a genuine connection; no pressure, no deep dive, no expectations. You’re the one doing the work, so you need someone who feels solid, safe and real for you. That might be me, or it might not. This space is simply for you to get a sense of who I am, how I work, and whether it feels like a place you can show up as yourself.
