Kayleigh Reeks, NCPS

Kayleigh Reeks is a counsellor who brings four years of UK practice to her work. She holds an NCPS credential and offers calm, patient support to people facing emotional strain. Kayleigh focuses on making the first step easier for anyone feeling overwhelmed.

She helps people with stress and anxiety, low mood and depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Relationship and intimacy concerns are part of her day-to-day work, as are parenting pressures, addiction-related struggles and coping with big life changes. Neurodiversity concerns such as ADHD and mood conditions like bipolar are also included in her focus areas.

Kayleigh aims to build a steady working relationship first. She listens without rush, checks understanding, and works at a pace the client can manage. Practical conversations about goals and small next steps are combined with space to talk about painful experiences.

Together with each person she makes a simple plan tailored to their needs. That plan might include techniques to manage anxiety, ways to improve communication, or strategies for handling family and parenting stress. Progress is reviewed regularly and adjusted if needed.

Her approach is guided by respect and empathy. Kayleigh presents options clearly and helps people pick what feels right for them. The emphasis is on realistic, achievable change rather than quick fixes.

Online approaches and how they work together

Two common evidence-based approaches Kayleigh uses are practical skills work and trauma-informed talking. Practical skills work involves learning tools to manage anxiety, mood swings and daily stress through short exercises and coping strategies that can be practised between sessions. Trauma-informed talking gives people space to describe difficult experiences at a pace they can handle while focusing on safety, grounding and building coping skills for painful memories.

Finding the right combination of techniques is collaborative. Kayleigh will listen to your goals and preferences, try approaches that fit your needs, and adjust the plan as you go. That way the method grows from the things that help you most rather than from a one-size-fits-all idea.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller connection is helpful. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when callers prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text sessions suit shorter check-ins, brief reflections, or people who prefer writing to talking. These formats offer flexibility so therapy can fit around work, family and daily life.
