About Kelly
Counsellor Kelly Sartorius is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). She has three years' experience and works with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief, self-esteem and coping with life changes.
Kelly prefers straightforward work in sessions. She listens, helps people name what is happening, and looks at how thoughts and behaviours affect mood. She also uses practical tools to manage stress and anxiety and to improve communication in relationships.
Her background is integrative. That means she draws on several approaches including client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques, psychodynamic ideas and solution-focused strategies. These are used to suit a person’s goals rather than following a single method.
Sessions can include short-term focused work or longer, open-ended meetings depending on what a person wants. She also uses mindfulness techniques and trauma-informed ideas where these fit the issue being discussed.
Kelly holds an FdSc degree in integrative counselling and lists additional qualifications in CBT. She keeps updating her skills and practices in the United Kingdom context. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted.
Approaches used in online counselling
Kelly draws on client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy in online sessions. Client-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting back what someone says, which helps clarify feelings and priorities. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety and manage stress.She also uses mindfulness techniques to help with stress and to develop present-moment awareness. These approaches suit problems such as anxiety, low mood, relationship tension and coping with life changes. Choosing which approach to use is part of the work; the counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and agree a way forward together.
Check the session formats listed on the profile before booking to confirm how she runs sessions. If you need therapy that fits around work or family life, online sessions can reduce travel time and make scheduling easier. Some formats may also allow a shorter check-in when time is limited, or a video session when visual connection is helpful. Confirm current session options before you book to make sure they meet your needs.
