Living Wisely

Hi, I'm Kes. Welcome to my website! As an independent therapist, researcher, and facilitator, I offer possibilities and invitations to spark regenerative emotions and deepen your connection to yourself and others. Based in Brighton and Hove, I work both online and in person.

I believe that all human beings naturally experience a wide range of feelings—both comfortable and uncomfortable—that reflect whether our universal needs are met or unmet. By listening to our body's innate intelligence and practising compassion for our feelings, we can discover our needs and inspire others to do the same.

We live in a critical time marked by a mounting ecological crisis, mass extinctions, climate change-related disasters, archaic wars, centuries-old oppression, discrimination, religious and political divides, violence, crime, trauma, parenting crises, addiction, distraction, isolation, and unease. Yet, this era also presents a pivotal moment of immense awakening and transformation.

While the voices of the old paradigm and 'business-as-usual' seek to profit through willful ignorance and exploitation, leading societies into unrest and devastation, we are confronted with both personal and collective challenges. Many of us benefit from our ancestors' struggles for freedom, reclaiming our innate sense of truth and justice in resistance to misleading external authorities. We are learning to trust ourselves and each other, rekindling our love for nature, and redefining the future we all share a part in creating.

Here, you'll find my services and offerings designed to facilitate psychological safety, ease distress, restore heartfelt connection, and co-create spaces for autonomous and conscious evolution towards our shared survival and thriving.

My therapeutic practice is rooted in anti-marginalisation and anti-oppression, standing in solidarity with people from diverse cultures around the world. I support individuals with sensitive nervous systems, those who have navigated challenging childhoods, and anyone whose gender, sexuality, or relationships have emerged from hostile environments.

Whether you identify as trans, queer, disabled, neurodivergent, Black, Arab, Asian, multiracial, Romani, Celtic, non-native, fat, skinny, or anything else—whether you are a cis woman, a cis man who is a feminist, an ally to queer and trans folks, spiritual, religious, or not; a mum-to-be or a new mum—whatever your story, experiences, or socioeconomic status may be, you are completely welcome here. I am here to support and empower you to the best of my ability.

Therapeutic services, referrals, recommendations, and resources are available.
