About Kelly
Kelly Dynes offers support for stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, compassion fatigue, ADHD, addictions, grief, parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem and life changes. She explains things simply and focuses on building a respectful, trusting relationship with each person. Her approach is direct but warm, and she aims to make sessions feel practical and understandable for someone juggling family life or work.
Kelly uses a range of approaches to meet different needs.
Background and approach
She draws on client-centred ideas to follow each person's pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) features when practical steps and thought patterns are useful. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and trauma-focused methods are available for deeper emotional work, and mindfulness techniques help with grounding and stress management.
She has 11 years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Kelly has extensive work with people who have experienced trauma, bereavement, anxiety and depression. Her practice also includes focus on autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, and related concerns such as dissociation and post-traumatic stress.
Kelly also brings lived experience as a wheelchair user, which informs her understanding of disability and caring roles. She is learning British Sign Language and hopes to incorporate it into her work within the next year. Sessions are offered in English and are held online by video, phone, live chat or messaging.
Therapy uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and cost varies with location and availability.

Online support
She also integrates Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at practical changes to thoughts and behaviours. CBT can be useful for managing anxiety, panic, low mood and everyday stress with clear, step-by-step strategies.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kelly will discuss different methods and try what fits best for the individual's needs, goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adapts work as things change.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls suit deeper conversations, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can fit short check-ins or times when writing feels easier. These options help people fit therapy around work, childcare or travel without needing to attend in person.
