If you're feeling overwhelmed, low, anxious or burnt out – or you're trying to make sense of something you can't quite name – you’re not alone.
Many men come to me at moments when life feels heavy, confusing, or just too much. Reaching out can feel like a big step. It's okay if you're not sure where to begin.
I'm Kellie. I offer a calm, confidential space where you can talk at your own pace, without pressure or judgement. You don't need to have the right words. We can find them together.
I work alongside you, and your experiences, your perspective, and the way you make sense of the world are at the heart of every session. Some people want to talk. Others find that harder, and that's fine too. I'm equally comfortable working with conversation, gentle structure, or creative tools for anyone who finds the usual approach doesn't quite fit.
I have particular experience supporting people who are exploring ADHD or autistic traits, and I take a neuro-affirming approach for anyone who feels that's relevant to them.
My studio at the Beacon in Newcastle has been designed to feel warm and relaxed. Nothing clinical about it. There's lift access and a welcoming reception, and if you'd like to visit before your first session, just say the word.
I offer a free 15-minute telephone consultation. There is no long-term commitment here, and it is just a chance to ask questions and see if we'd be a good fit.
If you feel like you’d like to explore some support, please feel free to reach out and send me a message.

My studio has different lighting options, seating places, textures, calming colour pallets, sensory fidgets and various artwork. I have a random wall of pictures, an organised wall of pictures and a blank wall. There are many things you can look at if your preference is not to make eye contact.
