About Kelly
Kelly Sartorius is a counsellor who focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety and relationship strain. She meets clients where they are and aims to make talking about hard things straightforward and practical. Kelly uses clear, everyday language to help people find ways to manage emotions and move forward.
Kelly holds BACP and NCPS credentials and has three years of practice experience. She draws on a mix of therapeutic ideas to match each session to the person’s needs.
Background and approach
This means sessions can focus on immediate coping skills or on understanding deeper patterns over time. Her approach blends client-centred listening with practical techniques from cognitive behavioural work. That combination helps people build small, manageable changes in thinking and behaviour while feeling heard.
Mindfulness exercises and solution-focused steps are used when they suit a person’s goals. Kelly also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past relationships shape present reactions when that is useful. She can support people dealing with grief, low self-esteem, life changes and workplace stress.
Additional areas she addresses include attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems, and guilt and shame. Sessions can be short term or open ended depending on what someone needs. Kelly aims to work collaboratively so progress feels purposeful and relevant to daily life.
People who want calm, practical conversations about anxiety and life challenges may find her approach easy to engage with.
How therapy approaches translate online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. In practice this means the therapist reflects what someone says, asks gentle questions and helps the person find their own answers; it is helpful for people who need space to clarify feelings.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, uses practical steps to change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. Sessions often include simple exercises and homework to test new ways of thinking and to reduce anxiety or stress in day-to-day life.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest approaches that fit the person’s needs. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports shorter, ongoing contact. These options help people fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and busy lives while keeping the focus on practical progress and emotional understanding.
