Kane Howarth
MBACP Integrative Counsellor & Psychotherapist
Hello, my name is Kane (pronouns are he/him) and I am a BACP registered Integrative counsellor and psychotherapist working in North London and online. I have experience working with people from different cultural backgrounds, sexualities and gender identities.
​
I have had extensive training in integrative psychotherapy helping my clients to build their sense of self, confidence and encourage them to trust themselves and others. In my practice I have worked with clients who suffer from anxiety, depression, stress related symptoms, relational conflicts, living with neurodiversity, and exploring their identity (including sexuality and gender identity) and their sense of belonging in the world.
My approach is holistic and relationally informed meaning that therapy is collaborative between you and I, taking into consideration your physical, emotional and social wellbeing. Together, we will explore your struggles with empathy and compassion with a non-judgmental mindset, while ensuring we go at a comfortable pace that feels safe. We will make sense of your issues, encouraging you to self-reflect, gain confidence, control and to grow and make positive steps to heal and change.
​
I draw techniques and resources from different modalities of psychotherapeutic practice so each session is individually tailored to you. These techniques provide the core of the therapeutic space allowing us to create a unique, and healing experience.
​

​
-
Humanistic

Attachment

I have been working with clients that have come to me with a range of issues including, anxiety, depression, family issues, identity issues; including sexuality and gender identity, addiction; including substances, sex and porn, loss, anger and self-esteem.

Prior to the first session, I offer a free 20 minutes chat that will allow us to talk about your goals of therapy and to let me know how best I can support you. This will also give you the opportunity to ask me any questions you may have before starting therapy.
