About Kelly

Kelly Dynes BACP offers calm, attentive support for people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression and life changes. She listens closely and aims to build a respectful working relationship. Her approach is grounded in treating each person as an individual with their own story and needs.

Kelly believes the relationship itself matters most in therapy. She describes herself as honest, empathetic and sensitive. Sessions focus on what matters to the client and on finding practical ways to manage symptoms and daily challenges.

Her background includes extensive experience with trauma, bereavement, anxiety and depression. She also brings lived experience of physical disability and using a wheelchair, which informs her understanding of long-term health and caring roles.

Kelly works with neurodivergent clients and is committed to inclusion. She is learning British Sign Language and expects to feel ready to incorporate it into her work within the next 12 months.

Her practice draws on Client-Centred Therapy alongside methods such as cognitive behavioural techniques, emotionally-focused work, mindfulness and trauma-focused approaches. These are used in ways that suit each person’s needs and pace.

Kelly has 11 years of experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She operates from the United Kingdom and holds an inclusive, person-focused style that aims to help people make steady, practical progress.

How these approaches translate to online work

The practice combines Client-Centred Therapy with cognitive behavioural techniques and trauma-focused methods to meet different needs. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building a trusting relationship and following the client’s lead, which helps when someone needs a calm space to talk. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at thoughts and behaviours and offer practical steps to reduce symptoms like anxiety and panic. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on helping people process distressing events at a pace they can manage and on building coping skills.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Kelly works collaboratively to decide what feels most helpful, based on the person’s goals and preferences. This means the plan can change as progress is made or new issues come up.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel time and keep sessions brief when needed. Some formats also use less bandwidth or do not require the camera, which can suit quieter surroundings or short check-ins. Registered or accredited professionals aim to offer flexibility so therapy can fit more easily into everyday life.
