Welcome to In Bloom Counselling, my name is Kayleigh and I am a qualified Counsellor and a registered member of the Â鶹ԭ´´. As an experienced counselling practitioner I offer a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space to discuss and explore any issues that may have become problematic in your life. With training in CBT, Person-Centred, Pluralistic and Psychodynamic approaches, I have extensive experience helping clients navigate challenges such as (but not limited to) addiction, bereavement, anxiety, trauma, and depression. I am here to support you by exploring your thoughts, feelings or beliefs and working through what matters most to you, by offering warm and empathic counselling.

My Counselling practice is grounded in Person-Centred principles which focuses on the inherent worth and value of every individual. I understand each person has their own experiences and perspectives that shape their understanding of the world. My role is to provide you with support, empathy, and understanding so you are free to explore your thoughts and feelings without fear or judgement.

Maybe you feel as though you have lost a part of yourself, or you find that you're stuck in a negative pattern/cycle. Whatever the reason is we can work collaboratively to aid discovery of your own solutions to achieve personal growth, healing, and authenticity in all aspects of your life. I believe the relationship between therapist and client is crucial in the effectiveness of your therapy so providing you with a space where you feel safe is important. Feel free to get in touch for a free 15 minute consultation so you can experience myself and how we can work together.

Counselling service for those bereaved by the loss of their pet

Research indicates that many grieving pet owners may experience disenfranchised grief—a type of grief that society often overlooks or marginalises, making it difficult for individuals to openly express their feelings of loss and grief. This can create challenges in mourning the loss of a beloved pet.

Our bond with animals can be just as deep and meaningful as our relationships with others. Losing a pet is profoundly painful, and the grief that follows is a testament to that connection. As a pet owner myself, I understand the immense impact pets have on both mental and physical well-being, as well as the abundance of unconditional love they bring into our lives. . This can make it very difficult to adapt to life without them. Some people may experience a loss of identity from being the 'care giver' to a pet.

Maybe your pet is coming to the end of their life and you need to make a decision about euthanasia?

Maybe you experienced a sudden loss? Or maybe you cant seem to work through the grief you experiencing and its consuming your life. Whatever the reason, together we can work to explore the challenges you are facing in a safe, empathic environment.

With additional courses undertaken in 'pet bereavement' I will be able to offer a supportive and understanding space.
