Psychotherapy in Kenilworth — About Una

Sometimes the patterns we live with — in ourselves, in our relationships, in the way we respond to the world — become difficult to see clearly from the inside. Sometimes something specific has happened. Sometimes it is harder to name than that. Whatever has brought you here, Una offers a space to explore it.

 

Una is a highly experienced integrative psychotherapist based in Kenilworth, Warwickshire, offering face-to-face sessions in Kenilworth and online and telephone sessions across the UK. She holds a Degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy, is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), and an Accredited Member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) — NCPS Accreditation being a higher level of professional recognition that reflects substantial training and verified clinical experience.

 

With over 20 years of experience in the mental health field, Una works with individuals, couples, and young people aged 14 and above. Her approach is integrative and rooted in Psychodynamic Therapy — helping clients understand how early experiences and unconscious patterns continue to shape their present-day emotions, behaviours, and relationships.

 

Background & Experience

Una’s professional background is unusually broad for a private practitioner. As a former counsellor within NHS children and adolescent mental health services, she has experience supporting young people through complex emotional and psychological difficulties in clinical settings — giving her a depth and rigour in working with this age group that private practice experience alone cannot replicate.

 

She is also a qualified teacher, and this combination of educational and clinical experience gives her a distinctive ability to engage with young people in ways that are accessible, attuned, and effective — understanding the pressures of school, exams, and peer relationships alongside the deeper psychological dimensions of adolescent experience.

 

Throughout her career, Una has worked extensively with neurodivergent individuals, families, and professionals. This has given her a genuine and nuanced understanding of how ADHD, autism, and related experiences shape emotional life, relationships, and identity — and how therapy needs to adapt to work well with neurodivergent clients rather than simply apply a neurotypical framework.

 

Una’s work is trauma-informed, relational, and depth-focused. She maintains regular professional supervision, is committed to ongoing professional development, and adheres to the ethical standards of both BACP and NCPS.

 

Therapeutic Approach

Una’s practice is integrative, drawing thoughtfully on several therapeutic frameworks and always tailoring her approach to the individual client’s needs and pace.

 

Integrative Psychotherapy

Una’s integrative approach means she draws on a range of therapeutic traditions rather than applying a single method to every client. The integration is thoughtful and purposeful — selecting what is most relevant and useful for each individual, couple, or young person she works with, and adapting as the work develops. This flexibility is central to her practice and reflects her belief that good therapy meets the client where they are.

 

Psychodynamic Therapy

At the heart of Una’s integrative practice is a psychodynamic foundation. Psychodynamic therapy works with an understanding of how past experiences — particularly early relationships — continue to shape present-day emotions, behaviours, and patterns of relating. It attends to the unconscious dimensions of experience: the defences we develop, the patterns that repeat, the aspects of ourselves that are harder to see clearly. By bringing these patterns into awareness within the therapeutic relationship, clients can begin to understand themselves more deeply and create genuine change. Psychodynamic therapy in Kenilworth and online with Una is available to adults, young people, and couples across the UK.

 

Trauma-Informed Practice

Una’s trauma-informed approach runs through all her work — with individuals, couples, and young people. Understanding how trauma impacts the mind, body, and relationships, she creates a therapeutic environment that feels genuinely safe, predictable, and empowering. She has experience working with PTSD, complex trauma, developmental trauma, and relational trauma, and brings careful attentiveness to pacing and emotional safety throughout. Trauma therapy in Kenilworth and online across the UK.

 

Neurodivergent-Affirming Practice

Una has extensive experience working with neurodivergent individuals — including those with ADHD, autism, and related experiences — and with their families and supporting professionals. Her neurodivergent-affirming approach means she does not apply a neurotypical template to neurodivergent experience. She works with an understanding of how masking, sensory sensitivities, emotional regulation, and identity intersect with psychological wellbeing — and how therapy needs to be genuinely adapted, not merely adjusted, to serve neurodivergent clients well. Neurodivergent therapy in Kenilworth and online across the UK.

 

Individual Psychotherapy in Kenilworth

Una offers individual psychotherapy in Kenilworth and online and telephone sessions across the UK for adults navigating emotional difficulties, relational struggles, trauma, or long-standing patterns that may be affecting their wellbeing. Her work explores how early life experiences shape present emotions and behaviours, supporting clients to move beyond familiar but limiting patterns toward greater self-understanding and authenticity.

 

Anxiety and stress

If anxiety has been making daily life feel harder — through persistent worry, panic, overwhelm, or the exhaustion of chronic stress — psychotherapy in Kenilworth or online can offer a space to understand what is driving it. Una’s psychodynamic approach explores the roots of anxiety, while her integrative framework means she can also bring in more practical approaches where useful. Anxiety therapy in Kenilworth and online is available across the UK.

 

Depression and emotional burnout

Persistent low mood, emotional flatness, loss of meaning, or the particular exhaustion of burnout — depression and emotional depletion take many forms and often have roots in patterns that extend well beyond the immediate situation. Una works alongside people experiencing depression and burnout with patience and depth. Depression therapy Kenilworth and online is available across the UK.

 

Trauma and PTSD

Una has substantial experience working with trauma across its many forms — developmental trauma, relational trauma, PTSD, and complex trauma. Her trauma-informed, psychodynamic approach creates a careful, contained space to begin to process what has happened. Trauma therapy in Kenilworth and online with Una is always paced by the client. Trauma therapy Warwickshire and online UK.

 

Grief and loss

Grief — whether through bereavement, relationship ending, identity shift, or another form of significant loss — can be one of the most disorienting experiences a person goes through. Una offers a compassionate, unhurried space for grief counselling in Kenilworth and online across the UK.

 

Relationship patterns and attachment

The patterns we bring to our relationships — often rooted in early attachment experiences — can feel impossible to change from the inside. Una’s psychodynamic approach is particularly well suited to exploring recurring relational dynamics, attachment wounds, narcissistic relationship patterns, and the ways in which the past continues to shape how we love and connect. Relationship therapy in Kenilworth and online.

 

Therapy for Young People (14+) in Kenilworth

Una offers psychotherapy for young people aged 14 and above, drawing on her unique combination of experience as a qualified teacher and a former NHS children and adolescent mental health service counsellor. She understands the emotional and social pressures young people face and creates a calm, non-judgmental space where they can feel genuinely heard.

 

Una supports young people with a wide range of difficulties including anxiety, panic, and low mood; school, exam, and peer-related stress; identity concerns and self-worth; neurodivergent experiences including ADHD and autism; bereavement, family change, and separation; trauma and emotional neglect; and emotional regulation difficulties. Young person therapy in Kenilworth and online with Una is available across the UK.

 

Couples Therapy in Kenilworth

Una provides couples therapy in Kenilworth and online across England, offering a calm and neutral space for partners to explore the patterns and dynamics that may be causing difficulty in their relationship. Her approach is non-blaming and rooted in emotional insight, with both partners supported to feel genuinely heard.

 

Couples seek Una’s support across a wide range of situations — communication difficulties and recurring conflict, betrayal and infidelity, emotional disconnection, co-parenting challenges, the impact of neurodivergence within the relationship, navigating trauma or mental health difficulties as a couple, and questions of attachment, codependency, or controlling dynamics.

Una offers face-to-face psychotherapy at her private practice in Kenilworth, Warwickshire, and online and telephone sessions to individuals, couples, and young people across the UK. Sessions are available during the day and in the evenings.

 

Una also works with clients accessing therapy through EAP (Employee Assistance Programme) arrangements and welcomes workplace referrals alongside private clients.

Whether you are looking for focused support around a specific issue or a longer period of depth-focused exploratory work, Una will work with you to find an approach and pace that fits.
