About Kelsey

Kelsey Young is a counsellor who aims to make therapy practical and straightforward. She speaks plainly and listens carefully so people can feel heard. Her approach suits those struggling with anxiety, grief, relationship worries, stress, or feeling stuck.

Kelsey works to make sessions manageable for someone reading on a phone or fitting therapy into a busy life. She uses a blend of approaches rather than one single method. That means conversations may focus on understanding patterns, noticing thoughts and feelings, and practising new ways to cope.

Background and approach

Sessions can include short practical exercises, reflective discussion, and steps to try between meetings. Kelsey emphasises steady progress over quick fixes. Kelsey holds BACP and NCPS credentials, which reflect her professional registrations.

She has three years' experience working with a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, addiction, depression, bipolar, ADHD and issues around identity and intimacy. She also supports people facing parenting strain, career choices, and life transitions. Therapy sessions are offered in English and take place online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.

Kelsey does not work with international clients and practises within the United Kingdom. Sessions are provided through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled according to availability.

Kelsey aims to create a relaxed space where people can try things at a steady pace and explore what helps them move forward.

Ways of working Kelsey names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How online approaches and practical therapy work together

Kelsey uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas alongside trauma-aware ways of working. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings and choosing actions that match your values. It can help with anxiety, stress and living with difficult emotions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build different ways of relating and feeling safe in connections. This can be useful for relationship worries, abandonment fears and communication problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kelsey will discuss your goals and preferences and try different methods to see what helps. That process is collaborative - you and the counsellor decide together which tools to use and how to pace the work.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which offer practical flexibility. Video works well for longer sessions and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when video is not possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, childcare or other commitments while keeping the focus on steady progress.
