Hello. I'm Kathy, a qualified and experienced Counsellor, psychotherapist, coach and clinical supervisor with a background in private practice, NHS and Schools.

I have extensive experience working with young people and adults, supporting them with challenges such as anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, neurodivergent conditions such as ADHD, Autism, dyslexia and Tourette's syndrome; family issues, relationship problems, trauma, gender identity, bullying, friendship issues, and depression.

Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, like your head is a messy ball of wool that's hard to untangle. You might find yourself zoning out, struggling to process emotions, or feeling the weight of masking just to "fit in." It can take a toll on your relationships and leave you searching for some stability in a world that often feels chaotic. You don't have to navigate this alone. In our sessions, we'll work together to help you figure it all out, build strategies that support your needs, and create space for you to feel more grounded and truly yourself. 

I offer short-term, long-term and open-ended counselling, face-to-face and online in Twickenham. Taking the first step in counselling can be daunting and can bring up different feelings. If you are thinking about counselling, then it may be because you are finding things in your life overwhelming. It might be something specific or recent, or it could be the past that continues to affect you in the present. 

As a counsellor, I draw on a range of approaches to help you explore current challenges, increase self-awareness, and better understand patterns or barriers that may be holding you back. Together, we work towards meaningful insight and the possibility of change, finding the approach that best supports you.

I create a safe, supportive space built on trust and honesty, where you feel comfortable to explore difficult thoughts and emotions. Whether you're facing anxiety, low mood, relationship issues, or simply feeling overwhelmed, I offer a confidential space where you can feel heard and supported. A free 15 minute initial consultation is available if you have questions or would like to discuss any aspects of counselling. 

You can also make Contact with me either by email on kjaloussiscounselling@gmail.com and via text or Whatsapp on mobile 07904 100 115.


 

Self Care Tips for March

16-22 March is Neurodiversity Celebration Week

What is neurodiversity?
Neurodiversity recognises that differences in brain function are natural variations in how people think, process information, move and communicate. It includes alternative thinking styles such as:

  • Autism / Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) / Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
  • Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
  • Variable Attention Stimulus Trait (VAST)
  • Dyspraxia
  • Dyslexia
  • Dysgraphia
  • Dyscalculia
  • Tourette’s Syndrome (TS)

Many of the challenges neurodivergent people experience arise in environments and systems designed around the majority population.

Why might neurodivergent individuals be at greater risk of low mood or depression?

Some common contributing factors can include:

  • Feeling different or not fitting in
  • The exhaustion of masking
  • Becoming easily overwhelmed
  • Inflexible systems at work or school
  • Frustrations with support services
  • Feeling misunderstood
  • Emotional impact of diagnosis
  • Sleep or dietary difficulties
  • Medication effects
  • Discrimination or bullying
  • Relationship challenges
  • Feeling unable to fulfil potential

Every neurodivergent person has a unique profile of strengths and challenges. Too often, the focus is on “what’s wrong” rather than recognising and nurturing individual talents.

Key reminders:

  • Take a person-centred approach - tailor strategies to the individual
  • Aim to understand, not “fix” – feeling heard and listened to makes a big difference
  • No two people are the same, so their ways of coping may also be individual
  • Remember, not all neurodivergent people are diagnosed
  • Foster strengths and talents to build confidence and self-esteem
  • Kindness and empathy should not be underestimated

Neurodiversity Celebration Week is an opportunity to shift the narrative from deficit to difference, and from limitation to strength.
