About Kelly
Kelly Dynes is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety and panic attacks. She also supports those dealing with trauma, depression and grief. Her approach centres on building a trusting relationship and listening carefully to each person’s experience.
She describes herself as an honest and empathetic listener who values respect. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage distress and on understanding what has led someone to seek help. Kelly draws on conversational, person-focused work to help people feel heard and to map out steps forward.
Kelly has 11 years of experience working with people affected by trauma, bereavement, anxiety and depression. She also brings lived experience of disability and uses that perspective when working with people who are caring for someone or living with long-term health conditions.
Her practice includes support for neurodivergent clients and a range of concerns from relationship stress and parenting strain to self-esteem and body image. She is currently learning British Sign Language and hopes to include it in her work within the next year.
Kelly is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, known as BACP. She works from the United Kingdom and holds sessions in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person without judgement. It helps people find their own answers and is useful when someone needs a calm space to talk through worries and emotional reactions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and how they interact. It is practical and problem-focused, often used for anxiety, panic attacks and low mood to build skills for managing symptoms.
Kelly sees finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and day-to-day needs, and can blend talking, reflection and practical exercises to suit what the person prefers.
Practical benefits of online work should be confirmed before booking as session formats are not specified in her biography. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit around work and childcare or helpful when travel is difficult. Others prefer in-person contact for longer therapy. Ask about available session formats when you arrange a meeting so you can choose what best fits your routine and comfort.
