Kelly works with people to build resilience and steady routines that support longer term wellbeing. She describes her style as compassionate and evidence-informed, while keeping the focus on the individual needs of each client.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Kelly uses a blend of evidence-based techniques and a strengths-focused outlook from positive psychology. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy involves helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values; it can help with anxiety, stress and addiction-related urges. The 12-Step Recovery Model is used as a framework for long-term recovery from substance use and for building peer and practical supports during change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kelly will discuss options and adapt methods to a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps clients try what fits best and adjust as therapy progresses.

The original profile does not list which online session types are offered, so please confirm the current formats before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce time spent travelling, and allow shorter check-ins when a full meeting is not needed. It also makes it possible to maintain continuity of care when circumstances change, while the therapist and client decide together how sessions will be structured and scheduled.
