About Kelly
She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside positive psychology principles. Sessions involve straightforward conversation about what feels most urgent, plus practical strategies to manage cravings, intrusive thoughts, or anxious moments. Kelly uses a strength-focused stance to notice what already helps and to build small, steady changes.
Her background includes a first-class undergraduate degree in Psychology, Psychotherapy and Counselling from the University of Greater Manchester, and a master’s degree in Positive Psychology and Counselling. She has experience working in the addiction sector and has contributed to research on addiction, which informs her practical approach to recovery and relapse prevention.
Kelly is familiar with the 12-Step Recovery Model and uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas within sessions. That means she may work on values-based goals, skills for managing difficult feelings, and practical steps to reduce substance use and its impact. She also supports people processing past abuse and trauma, using approaches aimed at increasing resilience.
People who feel lost about their direction, who struggle with shame or isolation, or who want help making lasting changes often find the sessions focused and pragmatic. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to discuss goals and next steps.

How her approaches translate to online work
Kelly uses several evidence-based techniques in her practice. The 12-Step Recovery Model offers structured steps and peer-focused principles that support long-term recovery from substance use. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and developing small actions that align with those values while learning new ways to respond to difficult thoughts and feelings.Choosing the right approach is part of the work itself. Kelly will discuss different methods with each person and decide together which techniques suit their current goals and situation. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs evolve.
If you plan to work online, confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list them explicitly. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins between commitments, or making it easier to meet when work schedules are tight. Ask about practical arrangements such as session length, how to handle time-zone differences for international clients, and what to expect in a first online meeting.
