More about Kelly

  • 7 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

Counselling was always an obvious career choice for me: I've always liked helping people and forming connections based on trust and respect. I am a good listener, who is honest yet empathetic and sensitive to others. At my core, I believe that people are people, and successful therapy will always depend on the relationship between the client and therapist. I endeavour to build that relationship on a foundation of mutual trust and respect.

I have extensive experience working with people who have experienced trauma, bereavement, Anxiety and Depression.

As someone with a physical disability who uses a wheelchair, I have a unique life experience and can offer first-hand insight into living with disability- or caring for someone who does- and the effects it can have on our mental health. Disability is not just physical, and I am trained and experienced in working with clients who are Neurodivergent. I am committed to inclusion for all in the Therapeutic world. As such, I am in the process of learning British Sign Language, and while I am not confident enough yet to incorporate it into my work, I hope to do so in the next 12 months.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Kelly is a great listener. She also brings different perspectives to problems and is great at coaching me through some solutions before taking a deep dive into my issues. I feel I can really open up to her.
