Kit Speakman

Kit Speakman is a highly qualified and accomplished counsellor who has been in practice since 2008. He recognises that each person’s experiences, strengths and support needs are different, and takes time to understand what life looks like for them. Whether someone is going through a difficult time, feeling overwhelmed by their emotions, struggling with their relationship or wanting to better understand themselves and their experiences, Kit offers a supportive space to talk things through. His own lived experience contributes to the compassion and commitment he brings to his work, alongside his professional training and experience.

Kit recognises that reaching out for support can feel daunting, particularly when it is difficult to know where to begin. He brings a highly supportive approach to therapy and prioritises building a strong, trusting relationship. He takes time to get to know each person, understand what matters to them and work alongside them at a pace that feels comfortable. There is no expectation to have all the answers or share everything at once.

Drawing on a range of therapeutic approaches, including Person-Centred Therapy, Kit supports people to explore their experiences, recognise their strengths and find practical ways to manage difficult emotions. Sessions may involve making sense of challenges, developing coping strategies, exploring relationships or identifying small steps towards personal goals. Throughout this process, he values each person’s knowledge of their own life and involves them in decisions about their support. Kit believes counselling should be approachable, easy to understand and useful in everyday life. His approach is grounded in warmth, honesty and respect, with space for people to feel heard and speak openly. Together, Kit and his clients work towards meaningful changes that reflect their strengths, needs and goals, while building confidence in their ability to navigate life’s challenges.
