About Kellie

Kellie Giunta is a BACP counsellor with twelve years of practice supporting people through anxiety and trauma. She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can bring what they are carrying. Sessions move at the client's pace and focus on listening, understanding, and practical support for everyday life.

She also co-founded and co-manages a charity-based therapy centre that offers more affordable support. That work shaped her focus on compassion and inclusivity.

Background and approach

Kellie emphasises emotional safety as the starting point for any therapeutic work. Her approach blends person-centred care with trauma-aware thinking. This means conversations begin with the person's experience and priorities.

Kellie also uses cognitive behavioural methods to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and develop coping skills. Over twelve years she has worked in different settings and helped people with anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, relationship issues, and complicated life changes. Additional focus areas include attachment concerns, parenting and fatherhood issues, body image, and caregiver stress.

In sessions she aims to offer clear, compassionate guidance alongside practical tools. People can expect a balance of emotional exploration and task-focused strategies. Kellie supports clients who want to reduce worry, manage stress, work through loss, or build steadier coping skills.

Sessions are conducted in English and held in the United Kingdom. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging depending on what suits the client.

How Kellie's Approaches Work Online

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in relationships and early bonds. It helps people understand how past connections shape current fears, closeness, and trust. This approach can be useful for those struggling with attachment issues, abandonment concerns, or difficulties in close relationships.

Person-centred work places the person's experience at the centre of therapy. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the client's pace, helping them find their own solutions and sense of self. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers concrete techniques to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful thinking.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss options and try methods that fit the client's goals, needs and preferences. Decisions about focus and pace are shared and can change as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by registered or accredited professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer written communication. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other commitments.
