About Kellie
She founded and co-manages a charity-based therapy centre that provides more affordable support. That work has shaped her commitment to inclusivity and compassion in therapeutic relationships. She uses trauma-informed boundaries to help people feel held while they work through difficult material.
Kellie blends a person-centred approach with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. The person-centred side means she stays alongside clients, offering empathy and respect. CBT provides tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and build practical coping steps that fit everyday life.
Her background includes supporting people through anxiety, grief, relationship strain, addiction and complex trauma across a range of settings. She also provides clinical supervision to other practitioners, helping them reflect on safe and ethical practice.
Kellie works with a wide range of concerns including midlife changes, parenting strain, sleep problems, career stress and identity issues within the LGBT community. She aims to combine emotional exploration with structured strategies so people can find clearer ways forward.
To start, people are encouraged to follow the platform process to match with her, answer a short questionnaire and schedule according to her availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online work
Many clients find the person-centred approach helpful because it focuses on being genuinely heard and understood. This method centres the client's experience and aims to create a supportive space for exploring feelings and values.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) provides clear, practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. In online consultations these tools can be taught, practised and adapted to fit daily routines, helping with anxiety, sleep, mood and coping with life transitions.
Kellie combines these ways of working with trauma-informed boundaries so sessions can move at a pace that feels manageable. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process; the therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods best fit the person’s needs.
The practical benefits of online appointments include fitting sessions around work and family life, saving travel time and allowing for more consistent check-ins. Specific session formats are not listed here, so please confirm the current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt interventions for remote work so emotional support and skill-building remain possible even when meeting online.
