I’m Kenny, a Bristol-based UKCP trainee therapist. What drew me to this work is my own healing journey and the sense that the world calls for deeper work. For me, healing happens when we are able to lean into what’s difficult, from a place that feels resourced and connected. It’s also a place of possibility, when old patterns and ways of doing life begin to open up to change. This journey takes time, and while I don’t claim to have all the answers, my commitment is to be alongside you in active enquiry. 

My Background
I’m a UKCP trainee psychotherapist in the final stage of my training at the Karuna Institute in Core Process Psychotherapy. I’m registered with UKCP and ACPP, with additional training completed at Re-vision and the Tariki Trust. My background as an anthropologist and over a decade of experience in social change work has given me a deep appreciation for how change and transformation happen individually and collectively. 

My Approach
I offer embodied, relational, depth psychotherapy. My training in Core Process Psychotherapy supports me to work in the messy, human spaces where real transformation happens. My practice is deeply informed by embodiment,  Eastern and Western psychology, anti-oppression, and a trauma-informed understanding of healing.  As someone who brings my own lived experience to this work, I understand that healing isn’t linear – it’s a journey of self-discovery, with twists and turns along the way.

What matters most to me is creating a space where you can be fully yourself – with all your complexity, your struggles, and your wisdom. I believe that within the therapeutic relationship, we can explore what life is asking of you and reconnect with your own inner resources.

Working Together
Whether you’re seeking individual therapy or group support, I bring understanding of both personal and collective change. I work with people navigating:

• Life transitions and change – endings, beginnings, and the uncertain spaces in between
• Emotional difficulties – anxiety, depression, overwhelm, disconnection
• Trauma and healing – processing difficult experiences and their impact
• Relationship challenges – patterns in connection with others and yourself
• Meaning and purpose – finding direction and what makes you feel alive
• Eco-anxiety and climate distress – feelings about our changing world
• Burnout and resilience – especially for those working in social change

You can expect a space that’s both grounded and exploratory. I’ll be alongside you as we explore what’s happening in your life, paying attention to both your story and how experiences live in your body. I support you in bringing awareness to your experiences, opening the space for new possibilities to emerge. 

Practice for the freedom and wellbeing of all
I believe that until everyone is free, no one truly is. Grounded in the Buddhist understandings of interbeing, for me, personal healing and social justice are deeply interconnected. My practice is grounded in anti-oppression and decolonial approaches, informed by thinkers like Dr Lucieta Nieto and the Gesturing toward decolonial futures collective. I recognise that personal healing occurs within systems of power and oppression, and I’m committed to creating space that honours all identities and experiences. I welcome clients across the full spectrum of gender, sexuality, and relationship diversity.

We as individuals are not seperate from the impacts of climate, ecological and systemic breakdowns and I like to offer a space where the profound impacts of this can be welcomed and met. Healing, social justice and climate breakdown are intimately connected and the intetion of my work is offer possibilities for the emergence of new ways of being. This important work cannot be done alone and I work with the Work That Reconnects Network, Healthy Human Culture, the Climate Psychology Alliance and Collective Imagination Practice Community.

May all beings everywhere be free.
