Hello...

Hi, my name's Kyra. I'm a founder and co-director at NeuroTribe UK, where I practice as a Clinical Supervisor and psychotherapist. I also lecture counselling and psychotherapy at graduate and post-graduate level with a specialism in diversity and group dynamics.

Trained to use the arts as a therapeutic tool. My specialism is working with neurodivergent people. I work with clients on the autism spectrum, with ADHD, dyslexia and sensory impairments. I work with many issues including low self confidence and self-esteem, recovering from bullying, anxiety and depression.

My therapy space and my supervision spaces are anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, culturally aware, neurodivergent-affirming, shame-free confidential environments where all are welcome and we work at your pace to explore what you feel you need to.

I offer my services on a sliding scale. If you are in receipt of benefits other than chld benefit, or are a student and require a reduced fee, please contact me directly.

Therapy with me...

My style is integrative, and at it's heart, person-centred. This means we focus on you, a person, in a room with me, another person. I strive to help you understand your own needs better. I don't presume to be able to offer 'solutions', but can offer both a safe space, expertise in psychology, and psycho-education, to help you find your own.

Conversation and creativity are at the centre of my work, and I am trained and experienced in using many artforms as an additional therapeutic tool alongside dialogue.

You will find therapy with me to be both gentle and challenging at times.

Experience

I have over fifteen years of empowering people to overcome and work through life's challenges I have worked on gang prevention projects, as Head of Enrichment and Welfare in a pupil referral unit, and as Lead Honorary Arts Psychotherapist for a leading national drug and alcohol recovery service.

Areas of Expertise

As well as working with low mood, depression, anxiety, suicidal feelings, recovering from bullying and childhood trauma, and addictions, I am experienced in helping clients to recover from childhood abuse, rape and sexual assault, manage the anxieties and mental health challenges that can result from coping in a neurotypical environment, and recover from parent-carer stress and burnout.

If you need a specialist, I am able to offer therapy to people who are affected by Neurodivergence, Learning Disability
