Therapy in Haywards Heath and Crowborough
Hello, I’m Kevin. I founded Serenity of Mind Therapy following a 20+ year career in Product Management and Human Resources, working across both large public and private sector organisations in Sussex and Surrey. My experience of workplace stress and complex organisational environments informs the empathetic and grounded approach I bring to therapy.
After retraining, I now practise as a fully qualified psychodynamic counsellor/therapist with a BACP-accredited Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling and a BSc (Hons) in Psychology. I offer in-person and online counselling for adults, working from therapy rooms in both Haywards Heath, West Sussex and Crowborough, East Sussex.
What I Can Help With
I support individuals facing a wide range of emotional challenges, including but not limited to:
- Anxiety, stress and panic
- Low self-esteem and shame
- Depression and low mood
- Bereavement and grief
- Childhood trauma and historical abuse (emotional, physical, or sexual)
- Relationship difficulties and family conflict
- Life transitions such as separation, retirement, or an empty nest
- Complex PTSD and trauma-related symptoms
You don’t need a clear diagnosis to reach out. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or like you’ve lost your sense of direction, I’m here to help you begin making sense of things.
My Therapeutic Approach
I deeply value the transformative potential of counselling and therapy, which is rooted in my own firsthand experiences. During my three-year training, I embarked on a personal therapeutic journey, which underscored the importance of finding someone who provided a safe, supportive and confidential space.
My aim is to build an accepting and trusting relationship, which allows you to openly and honestly talk and explore your feelings, thoughts, behaviours and concerns without judgement. I feel creating such an environment is crucial when navigating our inner landscapes and especially when exploring complex issues like historical trauma or various forms of abuse.
I recognise the significance of delving into the underlying causes of your struggles and offer compassionate support as we explore and unravel the complexities together that may be contributing to your distress and impacting your life currently. Through a blend of insight, analysis, and compassionate support, I provide a space where you can feel both understood and challenged.
