Kevin Alton, BACP

Kevin Alton is a United Kingdom based counsellor with ten years of professional experience who specialises in relationship and intimacy concerns as well as issues such as low self-esteem, depression, anxiety and coping with life changes. He works with individuals, couples and families and supports people facing a wide range of personal and relational difficulties including parenting challenges, grief, career stress, ADHD, and a variety of attachment and intimacy-related concerns.

Kevin trained in counselling a decade ago and has sustained a clinical practice by staying current with developments in therapeutic approaches and research. He is accredited by the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which is the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. Over the years he has developed experience working with clients from diverse backgrounds and with differing needs, and he is comfortable supporting both men and women through sensitive topics including sexual and relationship diversity.

As a male counsellor, Kevin recognises the extra difficulty some men experience when asking for help and aims to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where concerns can be explored at a pace that feels right for each person. He works collaboratively with clients to build trust and to develop practical strategies for change.

Therapeutic work with Kevin is tailored to the individual and may draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), client-centered and humanistic methods, Imago relationship work, and mindfulness-based techniques. He is currently accepting clients and is available to discuss whether his practice is a fit for the issues a person brings.
