About Kelly
Kelly Dynes is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression and parenting concerns. She also helps with grief, compassion fatigue, ADHD, addictions, relationship worries, anger and self-esteem. Kelly brings an open, honest style and aims to build trust from the first session.
Kelly believes the relationship between client and counsellor matters most. She listens carefully and responds with empathy. Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer thinking and ways to cope day to day.
She has 11 years of experience working with people affected by trauma, bereavement, anxiety and depression. That time has included supporting people with chronic illness and disability, and those caring for others.
Kelly is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She is also experienced in working with people who are neurodivergent and is committed to inclusive practice.
Kelly uses approaches such as client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques, emotionally-focused ideas, mindfulness and trauma-focused methods. She aims to tailor sessions to what each person needs and prefers.
As someone who uses a wheelchair and lives with a physical disability, Kelly offers insight into the everyday effects of disability. She is learning British Sign Language and hopes to begin incorporating it into her work within the next year.
Therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor, with a simpler aim of being heard and understood. It helps people build trust, make sense of feelings and choose the next steps they want to try.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical tools to manage anxiety, low mood and unhelpful thinking patterns.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people tune into their emotions and improve how they relate to themselves and others. It can be useful for handling strong feelings, grief and relationship stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and adjust methods to fit each person's goals, needs and preferences. That collaboration helps decide which tools are most useful in practice.
If you are thinking about online therapy, check which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also means people can choose the setup that suits them on the day, such as audio-only when bandwidth or visual focus is a concern.
