Bereavement Support - it would be a privilege to work alongside you at what is often described as one of the most painful times in life - the loss of a loved one.
My specialism is helping people through bereavement, grief or loss. Secondly, through counselling/therapeutic coaching, I support people with who are ready to grow personally if only they could address emotional obstacles. I have always had a keen interest in people and their stories and am naturally supportive and caring with a calming presence.

If you have reached a point in your life where you feel stuck, whether that's in your relationships, repeating anxious cycles, overwhelmed by stress, struggling to manage anger, or navigating the complexities of living with ADHD then we might be a good fit.
Through a compassionate and structured CBT framework, we explore not just what’s happening now, but the experiences and beliefs that may have shaped these patterns and how to break these patterns. I have extensive past experience in substance misuse, criminal justice, community and in-patient mental health NHS services & I am an academic author.

I work with clients that experience overwhelm, anxiety, depression and relational traumas that have impacted how they make life decisions, emotionality and sense of self.
I'm Kelly, my work is grounded in curiosity, care, and deep respect for your individual journey. Many people come to therapy carrying invisible burdens such as fears, anxieties, overwhelm or experiences that have been held alone for too long. You may be feeling that the world sees one version of you, but underneath you carry emotional heaviness that is invisible to others. Therapy offers a space to slow down and gently explore what’s happening to bring understanding to your experience. My approach is relational, meaning that the relationship we build together becomes a central part of the healing process.

Life Coaching Counsellors
What can I expect from life coaching?
Clients and coaches will typically start by identifying the problem area(s) that the client hopes to address—then, the coach will help the client brainstorm potential solutions and explore concrete techniques to help the client attain their goals. Coaching is typically short-term and focused on finding solutions in the here and now, rather than exploring a client’s past. In addition to strategies aimed at the client’s specific concerns, coaches may encourage general stress management techniques such as meditation.

Can a life coach help treat anxiety?
Because the majority of life coaches are not licensed clinicians, they are not qualified to diagnose or treat anxiety. Anyone struggling with anxiety or another mental health condition should seek help from a licensed mental health practitioner. However, some coaching clients who struggle with subclinical anxiety report that working with their coach on other problems—such as career dissatisfaction or unhealthy habits—has a positive effect on their anxiety.

Can life coaching be done online?
Yes. While life coaching often happens in person, many coaches conduct sessions over the phone or via online platforms such as Zoom or Skype. Because life coaches are not subject to local licensing regulations in the same way that therapists are, they are able to see clients who live in other locations.

How long does life coaching last?
Life coaching tends to be a shorter-term process than therapy, though it does not always unfold over a specific period of time and is instead based on the coach’s or the client’s preferences. Coaching often takes place over three to 12 months but may be shorter or longer if necessary.
