His supervisory and training work extends to practice tutoring for social work students and to having been a joint trainer for the Jean Little Agency in psychodynamic counselling at foundation and diploma levels.

Keith works in an integrative way and draws on several theoretical approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, psychodynamic methods, Rational Emotive Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing techniques. He specialised in bereavement work and has many years of experience supporting people with grief, addictions, trauma and abuse, stress and anxiety, depression and bipolar disorder, self-harm and psychosis, as well as issues related to sexual orientation, gender identity, relationships, parenting, career and life changes.

He has applied counselling skills within the substance misuse field for over two decades and has substantial experience in training and development across statutory, voluntary and third-sector agencies. As a gay, older male therapist, Keith brings empathy, active listening and a person-centred core to his work, supporting people to explore their options and move toward outcomes that feel empowering.
