About Kelly
Kelly Dynes is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression and grief. She also helps with relationship worries, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, addiction and issues around self-esteem and anger. Kelly has particular experience with ADHD, LGBT concerns and life changes such as career shifts or chronic illness.
Kelly uses straightforward listening and honest feedback. She believes the relationship between client and counsellor is the most important part of therapy.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to feel respectful and grounded so people can speak freely about what matters to them. Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques. Mindfulness and trauma-focused methods are also part of her toolkit.
Kelly adapts methods to fit the person in front of her rather than following a fixed script. Kelly has 11 years of experience with clients who have experienced bereavement, anxiety, depression and trauma. She also works with neurodivergent people and those affected by chronic pain, illness or disability.
Her own experience of living with a physical disability informs how she understands daily life and the pressures it can bring. Kelly holds BACP accreditation from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions through the platform.

Online support
How Kelly’s approaches translate to online therapy
Kelly integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy with client-centred and cognitive behavioural ideas. Emotionally-Focused Therapy aims to help people recognise and work with underlying emotions that shape how they relate to themselves and others. It can be useful for processing grief, trauma and relationship pain.Client-centred work focuses on listening and building trust so people can speak openly without judgement. Cognitive behavioural techniques help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical steps to change reactions and behaviours. Together these approaches give space for feeling held and for trying new ways of coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kelly will collaborate with each person to agree which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision is reviewed over time so therapy stays relevant and helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth, and chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and mobility needs while still getting regular support from a qualified counsellor.
