Counselling that meets you where you are — in the spaces and moments that feel possible. Whether that’s on your commute, in between commitments, while caring for your family, or wrapped in a blanket at home. Online and phone sessions offer gentle flexibility, so you can prioritise yourself in a way that feels manageable and supportive.
If this feels like the right step for you, you’re warmly invited to get in touch. We can have a gentle, no-pressure conversation about what you’re looking for and whether we’re a good fit.

Hi, I'm Kayleigh, the counsellor behind the Prickly Couch.

Before moving into counselling, I spent 18 years as a high-street business manager, supporting colleagues under pressure, navigating change and managing the realities of busy, demanding environments. I later transitioned into education, where I've worked exclusively with children and young people with additional needs, behaviour challenges and special educational needs (SEN).

Alongside this, I work privately as a qualified Level 5 person-centred counsellor. My approach is warm, flexible and shaped around you. I'm trained in Walk and Talk, Draw and Talk and Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), and I adapt sessions to suit different communication styles, energy levels and needs.

My work is also informed by lived experience of mental health challenges, anxiety and neurodiversity, which allows me to meet clients with empathy, honestly and genuine understanding. I believe therapy works best when you can just be you, without the mask, and I offer a calm, safe place where we can sit with the Prickly parts of life- at your pace. Working together to find understanding, confidence and change ✨️
