Hi, I'm Kelly, a qualified person-centred counsellor based in Bristol. I'm registered with the BACP.

Life can feel overwhelming or heavy at times and taking the first step to talk to someone takes courage. Maybe you are navigating a difficult life transition, struggling in your relationships or feeling anxious and find it difficult to express or make sense of how you feel. You do not have to carry this all by yourself.

Sometimes, even when we appear to be managing in day to day life, things can feel hard beneath the surface. 

What will our sessions look like?

In our sessions, I will focus on building a genuine and trusting therapeutic relationship where you feel heard, valued, and safe to talk about whatever is going on for you without any judgement. Your sessions are a space for you to be yourself.

Rather than directing or advising you, I’ll be there alongside you to support you in exploring thoughts and feelings at your own pace.  There is no set ‘structure’ and we can focus on what feels right for you.

I offer both short-term and long-term counselling. Finding a counsellor that feels like the 'right fit' is incredibly important. I understand how daunting it can feel to start counselling and share things you may not have spoken about before, especially if you are someone who is used to managing things on your own. 

How long will our sessions last?

Our counselling sessions last 50 minutes and we will review our sessions regularly together. There are no set number of sessions as this can change for everyone. 

My practice is based in St George, Bristol. I offer online, telephone and in-person counselling sessions.

In-person sessions are held in a quiet, confidential therapy room at the Wild Dandelion, Bristol BS5 9PR. 

My therapeutic approach is person-centred and integrative. Person-centred counselling is based on the idea that you are the expert in your own life. I won’t judge you, tell you what you should do, or make assumptions about your experiences. I understand that counselling is not ‘one size fits all' and recognise that we are all unique with our own experiences. I work holistically and draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches to adapt to what you need from therapy.

About me.

I have extensive experience working in the charity sector offering 1-1 counselling for people experiencing addiction and those that are affected by someone else's addiction. In this role I supported those navigating the complexities of dependency. I understand how challenging and deep-rooted these experiences can be and I offer a safe space to explore emotions, relationship boundaries and any challenges that may come with them.   

Alongside my experience working with addiction, I regularly work with people navigating a variety of challenges including,

Anxiety, over-thinking and low mood

Relationship challenges

Self‑esteem and self-confidence

Work-related stress and burnout

Life transitions

Grief and loss

Perfectionism and self-criticism

Whether you're seeking support for a specific issue or simply wanting space to reflect and be heard, my practice is inclusive, open-minded, and welcoming to people from all walks of life.  

I offer a free 15-minute, no-obligation phone call to ask any questions and help you decide if we would work well together.

This is a chance for us to talk briefly about what brings you to therapy and see how I can support you. 

Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to arrange an initial session.
