When you walk through my door you get to come exactly as you are ….

You don’t need to worry about…

Eye contact
Masking
Needing time to feel comfortable
Tangents
Info dumping
Forgetting what you were talking about
Taking time to process

I have put in lots energy into continuous professional development into having the core of my practice as an informed space, so that anyone who identifies as neurodivergent can feel respected and held in their lived experience without them needing to translate or mask in order to be understood.

As a registered BACP practitioner and diagnosed AuDHD adult I understand the importance of neuro affirming principles and practice. From my professional training, clinical supervision and lived experience I do my best to offer meaningful support.

This is me, Alex Kavanagh Counselling and how I end my work day. Such a joy to be so close to something so inspiring and healing. I often end counselling sessions with a reminder about self care and this is a great way to do it. Watching the waves flow and the clouds drift just for a few minutes of mindfulness and reflection on how much my clients inspire me.

Are you feeling lost in space? 🚀
On the outside, you might seem calm, capable, and holding everything together.

But internally, overthinking can show up as constant “what ifs”, second‑guessing, and replaying situations long after they’ve passed.
It can leave you feeling mentally drained, emotionally overwhelmed, and at times… stuck—unsure how to move forward, even with the simplest decisions.
This is more common than you might think—and it’s something you don’t have to manage alone.

Clarity doesn’t come from thinking harder. It comes from understanding those thought patterns, creating space from them, and taking small, steady steps forward.
Counselling offers a supportive space to slow things down, make sense of what’s going on, and help you feel more grounded and in control again.

🤍 You’re not as far off course as it feels—and support is here when you’re ready.

This is a really good description an intergrative therapist works! This is how I work because I know one size doesn’t fit all

BACP member Kate Megase explains what an integrative counsellor does and what to expect from integrative therapy

Interested in finding out more about counselling?
My approach is integrative, meaning I incorporate several modalities in how I work with you,so that we can find a good fit for your needs.
I work with adults and young people and often include creative methods and activities to minimise anxiety.
I aim to provide a neuro-affirming, relaxing, comfortable, safe space for exploration as I support you as you move towards healing. I work online or face to face in Ayr, why not send me a message or get in touch?

Eurovision, a glittery roller coaster ride for everyone involved specatators and participants. I love it, I think it can reflect real life … the drama, colour, disappointment, celebration sometimes total chaos! But there’s a lesson there. Can we enjoy the journey without the result being the only thing that matters?

Pretending things are alright can be exhausting.
Having an opportunity to focus on yourself in a professional confidential counselling environment where someone listens and helps you explore unhelpful patterns and behaviours is just one way to help you heal, grow and evolve!
You don’t have to do it alone

Great to see the light shone on the importance of men’s mental health and the reduction of stigma
