About me

I am Sally Kelly and have several years of counselling practise with a variety of people with different problems. I have completed my Advanced Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling with The Counselling Foundation.   I most frequently work with relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety, mental health challenges and low self-esteem/confidence. Sessions can be adapted to suit your needs.I have  worked for the NHS mental health service for seventeen years. I have an honours degree in Psychology from the Open: University.

I offer a friendly, confidential and supportive service to adults seeking change in their lives. I work online with a package called Doxy.me.  Doxy.me is very simple to use I will send you a link which you use each week to go to my virtual waiting room, I charge £50 per session. Each session lasts fifty minutes and is usually at the same time and day each week. I am only able to offer weekly sessions.

If you are interested in starting counselling please email,  I will reply as soon as possible and arrange a time to discuss your needs. The initial conversation is to discuss your needs and availability. If you decide to pursue this opportunity the first session will be an assessment lasting one to one and a half hours. 

After this, you then have the opportunity to continue or withdraw your interest.

Member organisations

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.

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
