Kieran Barratt, BACP

Kieran Barratt offers a calm, practical approach for thoughtful, analytical people who want to understand what is happening inside when life feels stuck, heavy, or off-track. He does not position himself as someone who will fix clients; instead he listens attentively, asks questions that help people hear themselves more clearly, and walks alongside them as they consider what comes next. He practices in a conversational, nonjudgmental way - avoiding jargon and creating space to be honest and supported.

Before training as a counsellor, Kieran spent several years working in engineering and leadership roles, so he understands the pressures of performance, the tendency to overthink, and the experience of feeling like one "should" be fine even when that is not the case. That background shapes his style: calm, grounded, and focused on approaches that feel both safe and useful for each person he works with. He supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and communication problems, anger, career concerns, and coping with life changes, among other issues.

Kieran holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates membership of a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists and adherence to recognised professional standards. He offers tailored, evidence-informed care with attention to each client s goals and preferences.
