About Kelly

Kelly Dynes is a counsellor with 11 years of experience who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression and compassion fatigue. She also helps with issues such as ADHD, addictions, relationship strains, grief, parenting pressures, anger, self-esteem and career concerns. Kelly speaks English and works from the United Kingdom.

She is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Kelly places the therapeutic relationship at the centre of her work.

Background and approach

She listens closely and responds with honesty and empathy. Sessions are practical and straightforward. Her aim is to help people feel understood and to find ways to manage day-to-day struggles.

Her background includes extensive work with trauma and bereavement, alongside anxiety and depression. Kelly also brings lived experience of using a wheelchair and understands the mental health impacts of disability and caring roles. She works with people who are neurodivergent and pays attention to accessibility and inclusion in therapy.

Kelly uses approaches that suit each person rather than one fixed method. She draws on client-centred ways of working and evidence-based techniques to help people notice patterns, manage symptoms, and repair relationships with themselves and others. Mindfulness exercises and emotion-focused tools are options used alongside cognitive strategies.

She is currently learning British Sign Language and hopes to include it in her practice within the next year. Practical session formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Sessions are provided via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches work in online counselling

Kelly commonly blends Trauma-Focused Therapy with Client-Centred work. Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at the impact of upsetting events and uses paced, practical ways to reduce distress and manage symptoms related to past harm. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions, helping them feel heard and respected while making sense of difficult feelings.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours to break difficult cycles. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, low mood and many everyday problems where thoughts, feelings and actions interact.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kelly works together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. This collaborative planning means techniques can be adjusted over time as needs change.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy lives or mobility needs. Video calls let sessions feel close to face-to-face. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and suit people who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging can work for shorter check-ins, written reflection, or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving or other commitments, while keeping the focus on progress and accessibility.
