Let me introduce myself I'm Kroy an openly Autistic counsellor & I work with people who are neurotypical as well as with neurodivergent people. This includes but is not limited to Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, and Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD). You may have a diagnosis, or you may just want to explore the possibility of being neurodivergent.

• Bright lights or noises can seem overwhelming stressful or uncomfortable

• Anxious or upset with unfamiliar situations

• Thinking the same thing over and over

• Hobbies seem like an obessesion

Being Autistic and having ADHD (AuDHD) myself benefits neurodiverse clients greatly as I understand the unique processing ways and needs of such clients and can tailor the sessions to suit your individual needs, (including sensory issues).

As you are reading this, I understand that you are thinking about seeing a counsellor as everyone, at some point, faces mental well-being challenges. Talking to a counsellor and having someone listen to you without judgment in a safe confidential space can aid you in taking the necessary steps to change. I will work with you to find the best possible solutions and/or answers. Doing this in a way that’s tailored to you.

I also specialise in counselling regarding gender diversity and sexuality (LGBTQIA+) including but not limited to non-binary, gender-diverse and transgender issues.

I work in an integrative way which includes creative therapies and Walk And Talk Therapy when the inside doesn’t suit your needs.

Being outside in nature can have a beneficial effect on your mental health as well as on your physical health. With walk-and-talk therapy we can harness this relaxing quality of nature, integrating it into the counselling process.

I also offer Emailing Counselling for those clients that like complete anonymity.

I have a special interest in mens health as 1 in 8 men in the UK has a common mental health issue and 75% of UK deaths from suicide are men, and is the biggest killer of men under 50. The damaging stigma around mental health affects men disproportionately along with social stigma, gender roles and expectations. It is important if you are feeling:

• Overwhelmed
  

• Feeling stressed by work

• Family Life getting to much

• Partner Issues

• Money issues

To reach out with no pressure or expectations.

Speaking to a counsellor can be a transformative experience for people and has a positive effect on confidence, resilience, sense of self-worth, family relationships, and friendships. 

In a society that tells you to hide your Anxiety reach out and speak up.

In a society that tells you to keep quiet, to just get over your Depression.

In a society that expects you to struggle alone reach out and be heard

I will accept you, your thoughts, feelings, and actions, as you are, without judging you.

Time and time again, the number one most evidenced research about therapy is that it is not the kind of therapy that is the most important factor in improving things, but the relationship, how well you connect together as therapist and client, the ‘fit.

This is why I offer a free 15-minute telephone consultation so you can sound out if our fit would be right, there is no obligation to set up more sessions, we can take it at your pace. The frequency and duration of sessions are something we can tailor together.

My name is Ryan, and I am an integrative counsellor. I also have 41 years of experience as a music teacher helping young people to reach their goals. I can provide you with a safe and supportive environment from which you’ll be listened to and helped to frame the difficult questions. I can help you explore your emotional landscape at a pace that is right for you, without making judgments. Many people experience emotional difficulties at some point in their lives and need to talk through issues to help find a way through. Whatever the issues you are facing, taking the first step and looking for a counsellor is the first step.

As an Integrative Practitioner, I bring together different approaches to therapy, considering a person as a whole and providing counselling which is tailored to suit your individual needs and circumstances, on a short or long-term basis. As a music teacher, I like to bring in the use of music therapy and can also offer email counselling.

I am passionate about helping my clients to live life with confidence and authenticity. The aim is to help you deepen your understanding of yourself so that you can begin to make positive, and meaningful, changes to your life. That's why each session is tailored to you needs.

I have a passion for promoting men’s mental health and actively encourage men to reach out and talk.
