Kieran Barratt, BACP

Kieran Barratt offers calm, down-to-earth support for people who tend to be thoughtful and analytical and who feel their life has become stuck, heavy, or off-track. He focuses on listening deeply and asking thoughtful questions that help clients hear themselves more clearly, rather than trying to fix them. His style aims to feel like an honest conversation - free of jargon and judgment - with space to explore what comes next.

Before training as a counsellor, Kieran spent several years in engineering and leadership roles, so he understands what it feels like to carry pressure, to overthink, and to feel like one should be fine but are not. That professional background informs a practical, grounded approach that prioritises what feels safe and useful for each person. He works with issues such as stress, anxiety, relationships, anger, career concerns, and coping with life changes, and he brings particular attention to communication problems, family and fatherhood issues, separation and infidelity, loneliness, and questions about life purpose.

Kieran is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and provides therapy in English to clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. He aims to walk alongside people as they clarify goals and take steps toward change.
