Kelly Kelbrick

Kelly Kelbrick is an ACA counsellor practising in Australia with three years of experience. She supports adults dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and ADHD. She also works with related concerns such as attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress and challenges tied to adoption and foster care.

Kelly uses practical, evidence-based techniques in sessions. She focuses on helping people manage strong emotions, reduce overwhelming anxiety, and regain steadier day-to-day functioning. Sessions tend to be collaborative and paced to what each person can manage.

Her background includes a Master of Counselling and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, plus postgraduate studies in counselling and mental health. Prior roles have included work in suicide intervention and sub-acute mental health services as well as private practice supporting people with diverse needs.

In a session she will talk through current problems, look at patterns that keep issues stuck, and try simple strategies you can use between meetings. She pays attention to neurodiversity and trauma when these are relevant to someone’s difficulties.

People commonly seek Kelly’s help when life feels stalled after change, when anxiety or low mood gets in the way, or when attention and emotional regulation make everyday tasks harder. She asks questions, offers concrete skills, and reviews progress as you go.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Kelly draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values; it often suits people wrestling with meaning or life-direction questions. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) teaches specific skills for managing intense emotions and improving emotional regulation, which can help with anxiety, mood swings and ADHD-related overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kelly will discuss different options with clients and agree on techniques that match their goals, needs and preferences. That collaborative selection means methods can shift as progress is made.

The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. This can make it easier to have regular check-ins, fit therapy around work or caregiving, or choose shorter phone or video meetings when that suits the day.
