Hello! I’m Kelly, based in North Yorkshire. I’m hoping to soon be in a position to support clients, but in the meantime, as a new member of Indigo Thinking, I wanted to introduce myself. I am currently a trainee on an Advanced Diploma in Relational Psychotherapeutic Counselling course, working towards accreditation with the UKCP.

Having my own therapy over the past 10 years has supported me to overcome and navigate some of the biggest challenges in my life, including grief, and my own health diagnosis, as well as exploring who and how I am in the world, leading me to take this step in becoming a therapist.

The quote suggests how we can often create our own prisons or limitations by clinging to reason and external validation, wanting to know reasons, and the knocking on a door represents our attempts to understand or fix the situation. The realisation that we’ve been knocking from the inside highlights that what we are seeking and the solutions we desire, are in fact within ourselves.

My keen interests are around working creatively, exploring our inner child and different parts of self.

You’ll generally find me out in nature, whether that’s tending to the garden, allotment or exploring forest and woodlands. Generally, I always have a “to-do list” and will always be the person with a plan.

I’m really looking forward to connecting with clients in the near future as my journey to becoming a fully-fledged therapist continues.
