Jill Kelter

Jill Kelter is a counsellor who works from a person-centred approach while also using techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and depression. Jill also supports those coping with grief, low self-esteem and life changes, including feelings of isolation and loneliness.

She has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation. Jill aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion, and she adapts conversations and plans to fit each person’s situation.

In sessions she listens first and then helps people identify smaller steps to try. CBT tools are used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and to practise practical changes. The person-centred element keeps the focus on what matters most to the individual.

Jill also works with issues tied to relationships and life roles, such as attachment difficulties, communication problems, divorce and caregiving stress. She supports people facing chronic illness, cancer, chronic pain and related challenges by focusing on coping strategies and emotional adjustment.

People who come for help may bring worries about work, social anxiety, guilt and shame, or questions about life purpose and self-love. Jill aims to create a calm space where those concerns can be talked through and realistic, manageable goals are set.

How Jill’s approaches translate to online counselling

Jill uses client-centred counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy in her work. Client-centred counselling focuses on listening without judgement and following what the person says matters most, which helps when someone needs to feel heard and understood. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and offers exercises to try different responses, which can help with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful thinking.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. Jill will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then suggest a way forward. The plan can change over time as needs shift and as different techniques are found helpful.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep regular appointments around work or caregiving commitments and allows for shorter check-ins when needed. The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking to make sure they fit your routine and goals.
