About me

Hello, I'm Kellyanne and thank you for viewing my profile.

It’s ok to feel unsure where to start, I understand taking that first step to reach out for support can feel daunting - my aim is to make that step as comfortable as possible.

My approach is friendly, flexible, and relaxed, blending person-centered support with practical CBT tools where appropriate. Everything we do will be shaped around your needs and what works for you as an individual. As an experienced BACP accredited counsellor, I’ve supported many people on their individual paths, and I am confident we can tailor an approach that works for you too.

Whether you’re looking for short-term guidance, ad hoc support or a more open-ended space to explore your thoughts and feelings, I’m here to adapt to what works best for you. We’ll work toward your goals, creating a comforting and relaxed space where you feel supported and understood, without pressure or judgment.

No matter what challenge you’re facing, we’ll face it together. If you’re ready to take that step, simply click 'book intro call' at the top of this page or text/WhatsApp me at 07564 842 149, to arrange a free introductory call.

I very much look forward to hearing from you,

Kellyanne

Member organisations

school Registered / Accredited

Registered / Accredited

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.

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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
