About Kay
Kay Aldous is a counsellor who focuses on helping people feeling overwhelmed by stress, low mood or anxiety. She supports those facing relationship strain, career concerns and major life changes. Kay speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps into therapy as straightforward as possible.
Kay holds a BA (Hons) First Class degree in Integrative-Relational Counselling and has nine years of experience working with people both online and face to face.
Background and approach
She creates a calm space where clients can talk about things they may find hard to share with others. That space is used to understand what is troubling the person and to agree what to work on together. Her integrative-relational background means she draws on ways of working that match each person's needs and character.
This might include focusing on thoughts and feelings, learning new ways to communicate, or practising coping strategies to manage stress and anxiety. Sessions are aimed at making small, practical changes that help day-to-day life. Kay also supports people dealing with isolation, questions of life purpose, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, social anxiety and workplace difficulties.
She offers a straightforward approach that treats each person as an individual rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. People who are new to counselling are encouraged to try a few sessions to see how it feels. Those with prior therapy experience are invited to explore a different way of working, tailored to their current needs.

Focus areas and approaches
What Kay works with
Everything Kay lists, in their own terms.
Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kay will discuss what feels most helpful and test different ways of working together. Decisions about focus and techniques are made collaboratively, based on a person’s goals, preferences and what is happening in their life.
Online therapy offers real flexibility for people with busy lives. Video calls let you see body language and keep a face-to-face feel. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit short check-ins, ongoing support between sessions or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while still keeping consistent contact with a registered or accredited professional.
