Keith draws on a mix of methods including cognitive behavioural ideas, mindfulness and psychodynamic thinking. He aims to make sessions practical and grounded, helping people cope with day-to-day pressures, manage upsetting thoughts, and rebuild confidence after loss or trauma. He also supports people with issues around identity, relationships and intimacy.
His background includes work with social services, bereavement teams and night drop-in services. He has substantial experience in substance misuse settings and has provided counselling for people with long-term mental health challenges.

His supervisory work includes supporting BACP-registered and accredited counsellors.
Keith describes his work as collaborative and respectful. He listens, reflects, and uses practical techniques when they help. Sessions focus on what feels most useful to the person in front of him and on small steps that can be put into daily life.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of sessions and relies on listening, reflection and acceptance to help someone explore their concerns. It can help with low mood, confidence and relationship issues by giving space to find personal solutions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It works well for anxiety, stress, sleep problems and difficulties with motivation.
Mindfulness Therapy encourages simple awareness practices to reduce reactivity and build steadier attention. It can be useful for managing stress, rumination and compassion fatigue.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That process is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses.
The biography does not list specific online or in-person formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also make it possible to work with a therapist from another region or country, which can help if someone prefers to see a BACP-accredited professional outside their immediate area.
