About me
Hello, my name is Kelly and I am a qualified Integrative Psychotherapist (BACP and UKCP registered) working in the West Bridgford area of Nottingham. I have a MSc in Integrative Psychotherapy from the Sherwood Psychotherapy Training Institute in Nottingham. I tend to work short, mid and long-term with client's who are experiencing a variety of difficulties such as anxiety, depression, panic attacks, relationship issues, identity issues, eating disorder, self-harm, PTSD, bereavement and loss and those who have experienced trauma/abuse. I have been working with clients for the past nine years and have experience working for a Birmingham Charity. I now have a private practice in the Nottingham area.
I am passionate about providing a safe, non-judgmental space to explore any issues or difficulties you may be having. Often, we can feel low, lack motivation or feel stuck and find ourselves repeating the same patterns in relationships. By exploring this together it is possible to process and unblock feelings, explore significant life events and enable you to live a more fulfilling and satisfying life.
If you would like to book an initial assessment to see if we could work together, please do get in touch.

Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
