Kane howarth - NW5 Online

Hello, my name is Kane. I am an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist and registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). 

I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings freely without shame. Together, we will explore your experiences to gain deeper insight, make sense of your challenges and build your confidence, to take meaningful steps toward healing and personal growth.

My practice is based in Barking Riverside IG11 and online. With a Master’s degree in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy and over 3 years experience working with clients, I believe the journey to healing is through authentic human connection. This is why my approach to therapy is deeply routed in a two-person, co-created relationship between me and my clients.

Many of the people I work with come to therapy feeling stuck, caught in cycles of self-doubt, inner conflict, or pulled in different directions by parts of themselves that seem to want opposite things. Together, we can explore and bring compassion to these inner tensions, so that instead of battling with yourself, you begin to feel more whole, more at peace, and more able to move forward in life in a way that feels authentic to you.

Having attended therapy myself, I have experienced the therapeutic relationship that supported me during a time when I struggled to feel connected in a world that didn’t seem made for me. Now as a relational therapist, I value the importance of the authentic relationship I had with my therapist and it’s healing power when I felt disconnected from the world that felt overwhelming and uncertain.

As a queer person, I deeply respect diversity and have worked with people from diverse cultural backgrounds, ages, genders and sexualities. I work with a range of challenges, including: anxiety, depression, stress, relational conflicts, sex and relationships, neurodiversity, identity exploration (including sexuality and gender), low-self esteem, addiction, finding purpose, loneliness, belonging.
