Hello, I am a cis male, person-centred counsellor based in a peaceful location just south of Cruden Bay in Aberdeenshire. My aim is to create a safe and confidential space for you to explore the reasons that bring you to counselling.
I hold space for you to talk through whatever you might need, complementing traditional talking therapy with expressive therapy (when appropriate) to enhance your journey towards your emotional well-being.

Your counselling experience
When you choose Kalyra Counselling, you can expect a dedicated and focused approach to your emotional well-being. I currently offer consultations over the phone (including Whatsapp video) or via Zoom/Teams.
My working hours are Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, with four sessions available each day (two in the morning and two in the afternoon).
While I currently don't offer face-to-face consultations, I am working towards a private 'garden room' next to my home, which will feature ample off-road parking and private arrival/exit points.

Fees and policies
Each counselling session (online or phone) is charged at £50. I am also committed to supporting the next generation of counsellors, offering a concession reduction of £15 per session for counselling students (evidence of study required).
Please be aware of my cancellation policy:
1. If you cancel within two calendar days of our scheduled appointment, 50% of the agreed fee is payable.
2. For cancellations within one calendar day, the full fee is payable.
Future appointments cannot be offered until any outstanding fees are settled.
I'm aware that life changes quickly so I am flexible on this.

Your emotional health
It's important to value your own emotional health as well as the physical equivalent.
YOU have value and you owe it to yourself (and maybe your loved ones too) to invest in your emotional health, if something isn't quite right or if you simply need time to work through your emotions.
