Counselling Near Milton Keynes — Online and In-Person Support

If you're based in or around Milton Keynes and looking for a counsellor, you have two excellent options — travelling to my practice in Bedford, which is around 30 minutes away, or accessing support online via video call from the comfort of your own home. Either way, you'd be working with a BACP accredited counsellor with over 15 years of experience.

In-person counselling — Bedford town centre

My practice is based at Castle Consulting Rooms on Goldington Road in Bedford town centre — easily accessible from Milton Keynes via the A421. For many clients, the journey itself becomes part of the process — time to decompress before the session and reflect on the way home.

If you're in Woburn Sands, Newport Pagnell, Olney, or the surrounding villages, Bedford is a straightforward drive and well worth considering if face-to-face therapy feels important to you.

Online counselling from Milton Keynes

Alternatively, I offer online counselling sessions via secure video call to clients across Milton Keynes and the surrounding area. Many of my online clients find that being in their own space — no commute, no unfamiliar waiting room — actually helps them open up more easily. Sessions are the same length and quality as in-person appointments.

What I can help with

I work with adults and couples on a wide range of issues including anxiety and overwhelm, depression and low mood, relationship difficulties and couples counselling, grief and bereavement, trauma and childhood experiences, neurodivergence including ADHD and autism, and family and parenting challenges.

I specialise in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples and use an integrative, trauma-informed approach for individual clients — tailoring my methods to what works best for you specifically.
