About Kelly
Kelly keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens and reflects so people can find their own solutions. When helpful, she introduces techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness to shift unhelpful thoughts and build everyday coping skills.
Her background includes many years working alongside police services and supporting emergency services staff. That experience shaped a focus on work-related stress and resilience. Kelly has also supported people through bereavement with Cruse Bereavement Care and through IAPT work around anxiety and depression.
Kelly holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, abbreviated to BACP, and she has completed the association's accreditation processes. She describes her practice as holistic, linking physical wellbeing and mental health in how she approaches care.
Sessions are offered in English and she explains options clearly for people who are unsure what they need. The aim is to help people feel less overwhelmed, to learn coping strategies, and to make practical changes that improve day-to-day life.

How evidence-informed approaches work online
Kelly uses a person-centred, integrative style and commonly draws on cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness to help people manage anxious thoughts and daily stress. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness therapy teaches basic awareness and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and build calm in everyday moments.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to what matters to the client, try a method, and adjust based on what helps most. Goals, preferences and practical needs shape which techniques are used and how sessions are paced.
Session formats are not listed explicitly here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around busy lives, for example by avoiding travel, fitting sessions into a work break, or using shorter check-ins when people have limited time. Registered or accredited professionals can still offer in-depth work over a distance, and the focus remains on clear goals and practical steps to improve day-to-day coping and resilience.
