About Kevin
Kevin Alton offers counselling for a wide range of relationship and personal concerns. He helps with relationship and intimacy issues, anxiety, low self-esteem, sexual difficulties and coping with life changes. People also come to him for stress, depression, grief, parenting strain, career questions and ADHD-related challenges.
Kevin trained more than ten years ago and holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as BACP. He keeps his practice up to date with newer ideas and approaches.
Background and approach
Sessions are designed to feel straightforward and practical. Conversations aim to be clear, calm and focused on what matters to the person attending. In sessions Kevin takes a client-centred stance, which means he follows the person’s pace and priorities.
He also uses elements of cognitive behavioural therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Other work can draw on Imago relationship ideas and mindfulness techniques where relevant. Kevin says he understands how hard it can be for some men to ask for help, and he can offer a perspective that some people find easier to relate to.
He also works with female clients who value a different viewpoint on relationship matters. People contact him to talk through issues such as abandonment, attachment worries, communication problems, codependency, commitment concerns, BDSM and kink matters, fatherhood questions, fertility stress, guilt, shame and the aftermath of separation.
He aims to help people find practical ways forward and to build tools they can use between sessions.
