About Kelly
Kelly Dynes is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 11 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, compassion fatigue, ADHD and addictions. Kelly also supports those dealing with relationship concerns, grief, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem and career issues.
She values a straightforward working relationship built on trust and respect. Sessions focus on talking through feelings, noticing patterns, and finding practical ways to cope. Kelly uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches to help people name emotions and change unhelpful patterns.
Kelly has particular experience supporting people affected by chronic illness and disability. She draws on her own life experience as a wheelchair user when helping people manage caregiver stress, chronic pain, or the emotional impact of health problems. She also works with neurodivergent clients and people concerned about body image or isolation.
Trauma work and bereavement are core parts of her practice. She uses trauma-focused and mindfulness methods to help reduce distress and improve day-to-day coping. Sessions include grounding exercises, emotion-focused reflection, and practical strategies for managing panic or seasonal low mood.
Kelly is learning British Sign Language and hopes to use it in sessions in the future. She offers therapy in English across the UK and follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) framework.
How her approaches translate to online work
Kelly uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and name difficult emotions, and to change patterns in close relationships or personal coping. EFT can help when feelings are hard to put into words or when interaction patterns keep repeating.She also uses a client-centred approach that focuses on what the client brings to each session, keeping conversations grounded in the person's priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used for practical skills such as breaking down problems, testing unhelpful thoughts and building routine strategies for anxiety or low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kelly will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods to try based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative decision is revisited as therapy progresses.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties or mobility needs. They also allow shorter check-ins, fewer travel arrangements and flexibility for quieter or lower-bandwidth arrangements when that helps maintain continuity of contact.
