About me
Do you feel like you've lost a sense of who you are somewhere along the way?
Perhaps life changed in ways you didn't expect. You might be coping with chronic illness, grief or loss, parenthood, the journey to parenthood, burnout or a major life transition. Perhaps you're functioning on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, disconnected or unsure of what comes next.
I'm Kelly, an integrative counsellor offering private counselling in Exmouth East Devon and Nationally online.
I work with adults, and particularly welcome women, who are trying to make sense of change, when something important in their life, relationships, health or sense of identity no longer feels the way it once did.
You don't need to arrive knowing exactly what's wrong or what you need from counselling. Sometimes you simply know that things don't feel right anymore.
My role is to offer you a calm, confidential space where you can slow down, make sense of what's happening and begin to reconnect with yourself.
I work particularly with people experiencing major life transitions, overwhelm, self-esteem difficulties, relationship difficulties, burnout, chronic illness, grief and loss and parenthood.
My approach is thoughtful and relational. I won't rush you towards having everything figured out. We'll start where you are and work from there, at a pace that feels manageable for you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold an Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling and offer a relational, person-centred approach grounded in compassion, curiosity and emotional honesty.
Elephant in the Bloom reflects the way I think about counselling: a space for those in the in-between season of life, when something has changed or no longer fits, but what comes next isn't yet clear.
My experience has shaped my understanding of how these experiences can affect our sense of identity, relationships and emotional wellbeing. I offer a calm, non-judgemental space where you don't need to have everything figured out or know where to begin.
I believe counselling isn't about rushing towards solutions. It's about having the time and space to understand what you're experiencing, making sense of what has happened and when you're ready, explore what might come next.
We work at your pace, together.
Member organisations
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.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
