About Kelly
Kelly Mayes welcomes people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress or big life changes. She writes simply and listens closely so clients can talk about what matters. Kelly aims to make sessions straightforward and calm for anyone who finds it hard to start a conversation about their feelings.
She draws on nine years of experience working with issues such as anxiety, stress, depression and trauma. Kelly also helps with grief, sleeping difficulties, career worries and coping when life shifts unexpectedly.
Background and approach
Additional focus areas include post-traumatic stress, self-harm, social anxiety and young adult issues. In sessions she creates a non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken aloud. Kelly works at a pace that suits each person and looks for practical steps people can try between meetings.
Expect conversations that are clear and grounded in everyday language. Clients can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Kelly accepts clients in the United Kingdom and also works with people internationally in English.
Sessions form part of a subscription arrangement that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits. Kelly supports people across a range of concerns and focuses on helping each person move toward clearer thinking and steadier routine.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Kelly uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to reduce anxiety and manage stress. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them against real-life evidence to ease worry and rumination. This helps people notice how thoughts affect feelings and behaviour and practise different responses.Another approach works on building steady routines and coping skills for sleep, panic and post-traumatic stress symptoms. It involves small, practical steps and tools people can use day to day to improve sleep and lower reactivity. These techniques suit problems such as insomnia, social anxiety and adjustment after difficult events.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they will choose which approaches to try. That collaboration helps make sure sessions feel relevant and manageable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full conversation and visual cues, while phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or messaging supports brief check-ins and written reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity when schedules change.
