About Karl Smallridge

I offer a person centred approach to counselling. Fundamentally this approach puts you in control of your counselling,

Something that I believe is important to the therapeutic journey.

We are all unique in the way we see and experience the world. Sometimes, it’s these unique experiences and perspectives can cause us to feel overwhelmed or stuck in life. This can result in different issues that therapy can help with.

I believe in providing a safe, non-judgmental space for all clients to truly be who they are and express themselves however that may present itself.

As well as being a member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and working within their framework, I am also a Neurodivergent Aware and Kink Aware counsellor offering a unique perspective for clients.

'During a challenging period, it was the first place i felt able to talk and be listened too - allowing me to feel better and valued'

'After many years of seeking help, I finally found a counsellor through Cudox who was and is fantastic as hat she does and would recommend to anyone'

'I can see progress in how i can reflect on things and approach things with a clearer and logical mind'

'I don't think I would have got through this without my counsellor. Her kindness, gentle tone and understanding have helped me so much. She is a wonderful person'

'The counsellors are really understanding and connect with the people who are involved. Also the progress from day 1 has been good and helped me progress with my mental health. It is highly recommended'

'I am really pleased i started with Cudox, it really is the best counselling i've had ever'

'I am so thankful to be able to talk to my counsellor, she has seen me through so much and I have gained more confidence in myself. People should use this service if offered, it works and I am so grateful how far I have come today'

'I feel without this help and ongoing support I would have ended up trying to take my own life'

My counsellor is the first person in my 36 years mental health battle that has listened to me without judgement. I couldn't have wished for a better therapist'

'Words cannot describe how much counselling has changed my life. I needed support but wasn't sure in what capacity. From my first session I felt seen and heard in a whole new way and it opened up so many things to explore.

'My counsellor really cares and provides the vital safe space in which to open and share the delicate and fragile contents of an extremely complex broken heart and mind'
