About Us
We Help You
Hello, I am Kevin J. Lees hence KJL Therapeutic Counselling. My belief in holistic and ethical living is just part of who I am. A 59 year old male, born and bred in Derbyshire. England. I love to walk through the fields and woods of the National Forest with my 4 dogs which totally grounds who and what I am. I am spiritual in nature and believe in the soul of man animal, plant, field, of surroundings and its environment.
I am a Therapeutic Counsellor working to bring all clients into a safe place first by using ethics and principals that are guided by organisations such as BACP, UKCP and UKATA, which I am linked to all three. Confidentiality is guaranteed. as we enter into an agreed contract between us as a therapeutic alliance develops.
