About Kelly
Counsellor (BACP) with 11 years' experience. Kelly Dynes works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, compassion fatigue, ADHD, addictions, LGBT issues, relationship concerns, grief, parenting strain, anger and self-esteem struggles.
Kelly describes listening as central to her work. She focuses on building a reliable relationship with each person. Sessions are honest and straightforward, with attention to practical steps as well as emotional material.
She regularly uses client-centred ways of working that keep the person’s experience at the core. Kelly also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and patterns. Emotionally-focused ideas and trauma-focused approaches are used when feelings and past events are the focus.
As someone who uses a wheelchair, Kelly brings lived experience of disability into sessions. She also has experience supporting people who are neurodivergent and those caring for others. She is learning British Sign Language and hopes to introduce it into her practice within the next year.
Her work includes a range of additional focus areas such as body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, dissociation, isolation and life purpose concerns. People can expect clear, direct conversation about goals, coping strategies and steps to manage day-to-day difficulties.
To begin, clients use the site’s matching questionnaire and then arrange an initial session through the scheduling tools provided.

How Kelly’s approaches work for remote sessions
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of sessions. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what they say and focuses on building a dependable working relationship. This approach suits people who need time to feel understood before moving into practical change.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical tools for managing anxiety, low mood, panic and unhelpful behaviour patterns. CBT often uses short exercises and straightforward planning between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kelly will talk through goals, client preferences and what feels most useful, then agree a way of working together. That collaborative decision can change as needs shift.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking. The advantage of remote work is often about fitting therapy into everyday life: sessions can be scheduled around work, caregiving or medical appointments and may make it easier to keep regular contact. Remote sessions can also allow shorter check-ins or use less bandwidth when needed. Ask about current session options when you complete the matching questionnaire.
