Kelly Dynes

Kelly Dynes is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression and anger. She emphasises a trusting, respectful relationship and listens with honesty and empathy. Kelly aims to make therapy a place where people feel understood and able to talk about difficult feelings.

Kelly has 11 years of experience working with trauma, bereavement, anxiety and depression. She also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, ADHD, addiction, grief and relationship concerns. Her additional focus areas include chronic illness and disability, neurodivergence, body image and isolation.

As someone who uses a wheelchair, Kelly brings personal insight into living with disability and caring responsibilities. That perspective informs how she talks about practical and emotional challenges, and how daily life can affect mental health. She is committed to inclusion and accessibility in her practice.

Her practice draws on client-centred work alongside cognitive behavioural approaches, emotionally-focused methods and trauma-focused tools. Kelly also uses mindfulness to help people manage distressing thoughts and physical sensations.

Kelly is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English and she works from the United Kingdom. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How Kelly's approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building a trusting, respectful relationship where the person leads the conversation. It helps people feel heard and understood before practical work begins. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often helpful for anxiety, depression and managing anger.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and try different methods to see what fits. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as needs evolve.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into daily life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break. It can also make it simpler to use mindfulness exercises and CBT worksheets between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals offer online therapy to help people access consistent support that fits around other commitments.
