About Kelly

Kelly Day is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, intimacy-related issues, parenting and career concerns. Life purpose is listed among her focus areas and she also supports people facing separation, body image worries and workplace problems.

Kelly describes an integrative approach that draws on several influences, including spiritual and creative elements. Sessions are guided by what the client needs that day. She aims to help people notice how their emotions appear in the body and in behaviour, and to name patterns that may be holding them back.

Her practice often explores past wounds and how they affect present choices. This can include talking through experiences of abandonment, sexual assault, or loss, and the ways these events show up in relationships or self-worth. She also supports people dealing with seasonal mood changes and end-of-life concerns.

Sessions are paced to the individual and Kelly emphasises working at a speed clients feel comfortable with. She uses reflective conversation and creative exploration to help people make connections between thoughts, feelings and actions. The therapeutic style is person-led rather than directive.

Kelly accepts clients from the UK and international clients in English. She notes her specialisms come from lived experience as well as professional practice. To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How Kelly’s approaches translate to online sessions

Kelly describes an integrative counselling approach that blends conversational work with creative and spiritual elements. In practice this means talking through thoughts and feelings, noticing bodily sensations, and using expressive methods when helpful to access material that is hard to name. This style can support work on trauma, self-worth and relationship patterns.

She also emphasises exploring the links between past experiences and present behaviour. That kind of reflective work can help when someone is trying to make sense of repeated patterns or to find direction after a life change. The focus is on gradual recognition rather than quick fixes, and the therapist and client decide together which techniques to try.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy itself. Kelly will collaborate with each person to identify which methods feel most useful, adjusting pace and style to match goals and preferences. This collaborative process aims to help people test ways of understanding and responding to their concerns.

Session format options are not specified in the biography, so please confirm available formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can offer effective therapy remotely, and Kelly’s practice intends to shape sessions around practical needs and everyday schedules.
