About Kelly
Kelly Ready is an AASW social worker with 15 years of professional experience in Australia. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns and relationship-related difficulties. Her practice language is English and she draws on several therapeutic approaches to help clients talk through pressing issues.
Kelly keeps sessions practical and direct. She uses clear conversation to help people name difficult emotions and find small changes that make day-to-day life easier. She will listen to what matters to each person and work alongside them to set concrete goals.
Her approach includes Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how feelings shape relationships and attachment patterns. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy when those approaches suit a person’s needs. The focus is on useful tools rather than jargon or long assessments.
Kelly has experience supporting people through grief, loss and parenting-related stress, including birth trauma. She also works with issues such as addiction, sleep and eating concerns, ADHD, bipolar and long-term health challenges. Her additional focus areas cover attachment issues, adoption and foster care, and body-image concerns.
A parent of three, Kelly understands the demands of busy households and combines practical strategies with conversational therapy. She asks people to start with a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to agree next steps. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online work
Kelly commonly uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and name emotions that drive relationship and attachment patterns. EFT focuses on feelings and interactions so it can help when people want clearer emotional connection or to change repeated responses to stress.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) which emphasises values and practical steps to act despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and build specific coping skills for anxiety, sleep, or mood problems.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Kelly will discuss which methods suit a person’s goals and preferences and adjust plans as work progresses. That conversation helps decide whether EFT, ACT, CBT or a mix is most useful.
