About Kelly
Kelly Greenwood is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction and the emotional aftermath of trauma. She approaches each person as an individual and aims to make the first steps feel manageable and clear. Kelly uses empathy and practical conversation to help people find what feels most useful for them.
Kelly holds a first-class undergraduate degree in Psychology, Psychotherapy and Counselling from the University of Greater Manchester and a master's degree in Positive Psychology and Counselling.
Background and approach
She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and draws on research and practice from her work in addiction services. Her background includes several years working directly with people affected by substance misuse and recovery. That experience informs how she talks about relapse, coping and rebuilding routines.
She also volunteers with an addiction organisation, which keeps her connected to developments in the field. In sessions Kelly blends evidence-based techniques with strength-focused ideas from positive psychology. Conversations are tailored to the person's goals and paced to their comfort.
Practical tools and small steps for day-to-day living are part of the work alongside emotional processing. People who come to Kelly for help with anxiety, grief, or feelings of emptiness can expect clear, down-to-earth conversation. The aim is to build resilience and clearer choices over time.
Kelly supports people who want to work on self-esteem, communication problems, forgiveness, or life purpose, using a steady, compassionate approach.
Evidence-based approaches and online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and patterns that hold people back. Positive psychology focuses on strengths and small daily practices that build resilience and wellbeing over time, such as identifying values, gratitude exercises and goal-setting.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and agree what to try first, then adapt as progress and preferences become clearer. This collaborative process means methods can change if something isn’t helpful.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more presence helps, while phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in or when lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer typed conversation or want a flexible way to reflect between sessions. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family and travel commitments, and support continuity when circumstances change.
