Leanne Keegan
Integrative Therapeutic Counsellor
Integrative Therapeutic Counsellor, BACP Registered Member
I particularly love working with young adults. I know that your late teens and twenties can be a lot to navigate, and sometimes it can feel like everyone else has it together when you really don't. I'm very down to earth, and I think that matters when you're talking to someone about things that might feel difficult, embarrassing or hard to explain.
Verna Tiroke
Person-Centred Counsellor
Person-Centred Counsellor, BACP Registered
I believe no one should have to feel alone with their thoughts and feelings. As a Person-Centred counsellor, I offer a warm, non-judgemental space where you can explore what you haven't felt able to share before, at your own pace and in your own words.
Not sure who to choose? That's completely fine. Get in touch and we'll help match you with the right therapist based on your needs, preferences, and availability.

How The Counselling Space works
The Counselling Space operates as a co-operative directory of independent therapists. Once you have chosen and connected with your therapist, your therapeutic relationship, including all session arrangements, fees, cancellations, and refunds, is managed directly between you and your therapist.
The Counselling Space does not hold responsibility for session costs, payment disputes, refunds, cancellation policies, or any aspect of the ongoing therapeutic relationship. Each therapist is a self-employed professional who sets and manages their own terms. We encourage you to discuss these details with your therapist before beginning sessions.
Fully Confidential
Everything you share stays between you and your therapist. Your privacy is our priority.
Flexible Appointments
Morning, evening, and weekend slots available. In-person or online — whatever works for you.
No Waiting Lists
We work hard to match you with a therapist quickly so you can start your journey without delay.
