Therapy that cuts through the noise

I am Ken, founder of Black Sheep Wellbeing and a Masters qualified Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist MA MBACP 00988492. I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, low self esteem, relationship difficulties or simply feeling stuck. Therapy offers a space where you can slow down, be heard and make sense of what is going on without judgement or pressure. My Background Before becoming a therapist I served in the British Army, worked in engineering and supported people in frontline wellbeing roles. Those experiences shaped how I show up in the therapy room. Calm, steady, practical and genuinely understanding of what pressure, responsibility and resilience look like in real life. I know what it means to carry things quietly and keep going even when it feels heavy. How I Work My approach is integrative and pluralistic and I work more directly than most therapists. You have chosen to come to therapy and you are investing your time, energy and money. I take that seriously. I offer structure, guidance and clarity alongside warmth and compassion. Being an integrative counsellor means I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches to shape the work around you. There is no single method or fixed programme. The work is tailored, flexible and responsive to what you need. Sometimes that means exploring your story gently and reflectively. Other times it means being practical, focused and hands on. You will not be left to talk without direction. We will look at what is happening, why it is happening and what might help you move forward. The work is collaborative. You bring your lived experience. I bring clinical training, psychological insight and a willingness to be honest and straightforward when it is helpful.

I offer specialist support for people carrying difficult experiences and emotions. My work is trauma informed, which means we work at your pace with safety at the centre. Trauma For when past experiences still feel present. You might feel on edge, numb, easily triggered or stuck in patterns you cannot explain. Together we make sense of what happened and how it is still affecting you, so you can start to feel safer and more in control. Anxiety For when your mind feels busy, your body feels tense and it is hard to switch off. We look at what is driving the anxiety and what helps you feel calmer and more grounded in everyday life. Depression For when life feels flat, heavy or pointless and it is hard to find energy or motivation. Therapy offers space to explore what is underneath, reconnect with yourself and find steady steps forward. Grief and Loss For when you are living with loss of any kind. Grief does not follow a set timeline. We work through what you are carrying without rushing you to move on or feel differently.
