About Kelly
Kelly Lockett is an AASW-accredited social worker with 19 years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting concerns, as well as depression and ADHD. Sessions are offered in English and held in Australia.
Kelly focuses on helping people understand their patterns and develop practical ways to manage everyday problems. Conversations are straightforward and aim to build skills for coping with difficult feelings and interactions. She uses evidence-based techniques alongside relational discussion to address real-life challenges.
Her work covers a wide range of issues beyond the main concerns. These include abandonment, attachment and communication problems, adoption and foster care matters, body image and caregiver stress. She also supports people dealing with neurodiversity, avoidant or antisocial personality features, and relationship complexities such as blended family dynamics or commitment issues.
Kelly draws on several therapeutic methods to match what each person needs. She combines structured approaches that teach skills with reflective work on relationships and behaviour. This mix lets clients practise new responses and then test them in daily life.
In addition to clinical practice, Kelly has tutored social work students at the University of Tasmania, focusing on mental health and child safety. Her background includes nearly two decades of direct practice, teaching, and ongoing professional development.
People considering sessions are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment. The practice uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and session cost varies by location.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions fit
Kelly uses a mix of structured and relational methods to support change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is one approach she uses to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try out different behaviours. CBT is useful for managing worry, anxiety and mood-related patterns.Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills are also part of her toolkit. These skills teach breathing, emotion regulation and interpersonal tools that help when feelings feel overwhelming or interactions become strained.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kelly will discuss goals and preferences with each person and agree on methods together. This means the plan can be adjusted as skills are learned and new issues arise, making the process collaborative and responsive.
Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, schooling or caregiving, and they can reduce travel time. They also allow shorter check-ins or longer therapeutic work without needing to leave everyday routines. Appropriately qualified or registered professionals help clients weigh which session pattern will suit their needs.
