Frequently asked questions
Person-Centred Counselling is a gentle, supportive approach that puts you at the centre. In a safe, non-judgmental space, you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace, while being met with empathy, respect, and understanding. The aim is to help you connect with your own inner resources, grow, and find new ways to navigate life’s challenges.
We currently use Google Meets or Whatsapp Video for our online sessions.
I'll schedule the session and send you an invite to join via email when using Google Meets.
We will also share phone numbers so that I can give you a call if either of us have connection issues during the video call.
If you need help using Google Meets, just let me know!
I advise having a private space for your call, and ask that you don't have anyone else in the room during sessions. If this isn't possible, we can discuss your options.
Although we may sometimes talk about self harm or suicide in our sessions, Kindness Creates is not a crisis service.
If you're feeling suicidal or having thoughts to harm yourself, you can:
Text SHOUT to 85258
Or call Samaritans at 116 123
If you need immediate help, please call 999 or visit your local hospital's A&E department.

Yes. Therapy can be very effective for children and young people, using age-appropriate, gentle approaches. Sessions can include conversation, creative activities, or storytelling, depending on what helps the child feel safe, understood, and engaged. I am not currently offering sessions for anyone under the age of 18 years old but would be happy to recommend or signpost.
DDP stands for Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy. The word 'dyadic' means two people, such as parent and child, 'developmental' refers to developmental trauma and attachment loss, and 'psychotherapy' is a word for talking therapy that helps you explore thoughts, feelings and behaviours.
Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP) is an attachment-focused family therapy developed by clinical psychologist Dan Hughes. It is designed to help adopted, fostered, or biological children who have experienced early childhood developmental trauma, abuse, or neglect. It works to increase emotional safety and connection within families, to strengthen attachment security and help families stay together.
