About Kelly

Kelly Dynes BACP counsellor has 11 years of experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, compassion fatigue, ADHD, addictions and relationship concerns. Social anxiety and phobia are included among the issues she supports. She speaks English and works from a person-focused perspective.

Kelly describes the therapeutic relationship as central. She listens carefully and aims to be straightforward and sensitive in sessions. People can expect open conversation about daily struggles, emotional reactions, and practical steps to cope.

Her background includes extensive work with trauma, bereavement, anxiety and depression. She also draws on experience supporting people affected by disability and on carers’ stresses. This lived perspective informs how she talks about accessibility and long-term health conditions.

Clinically she uses Client-Centred Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Trauma-Focused approaches. Kelly also includes Emotionally-Focused Therapy and mindfulness practices when they suit a person's goals. She will explain options and try methods that fit each person’s situation.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. Sessions follow a clear booking process using a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, users complete a brief matching questionnaire and book a first session via the online options button.

How Kelly uses therapy approaches online

Kelly often uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people break patterns of unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT involves noticing thought patterns, trying small experiments and practising skills that reduce anxiety and panic symptoms.

She also draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy to work with people who have experienced distressing events. This approach looks at how the trauma affects daily life and uses structured ways to reduce its impact. Client-Centred Therapy is part of her practice too, which means sessions are guided by what the person wants to work on and how they prefer to proceed.

Kelly treats approach selection as a collaborative task. She will discuss goals, try methods, and adapt the work based on what feels most useful. That conversation is part of the early sessions and continues as priorities change.

Practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions around everyday life and having therapy without extra travel. If you need to know which session formats are available, confirm the current options before booking. The online process described in the profile uses a subscription model and a short questionnaire to match you and schedule the first session.
