Kaylea is a person-centred counsellor, working in an integrative way to suit individual need: "I believe no two people are ever the same, so how can a counselling approach be? For that reason, my work is predominantly non-directive as I believe the client is the expert of themselves, so the approach to therapy should be whatever feels right for the client."  She has worked with artists and writers, using a creative approach as a tool for self-exploration. Kaylea is also a Lead Counsellor for an Arts based university working with students within the arts sector.

Kaylea has a BA (Hons) in Performing Arts and has worked as an actor, facilitator and voice over artist. She has also worked within the corporate role-play sector for many years. Alongside her person-centred training, she has an extensive background in the arts, using expressive arts in her counselling work when appropriate. Kaylea has also received training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and is experienced at being an Arts for Wellbeing Practitioner. She is also currently working towards a Masters in Counselling & Psychotherapy, exploring the use of Expressive Arts for chronic pain.

She can help with issues relating to anxiety, depression, domestic violence, sexual abuse, trauma, health related difficulties, bereavement & loss, stress, self-esteem, self harm, relationship and work difficulties. Kaylea has counselling rooms in central Manchester and Boothstown.
