Shannon Kelly

Hello, I am Shannon. I am a fully qualified, registered, and experienced psychotherapist (BA Hons, PG Cert, PG Dip, BACP). I work with individuals and couples. All genders, identities and backgrounds are welcome.

How do I work?

I care about creating a safe, trusting environment for you to be able to have your voice heard, uncover your own inner strength, and explore however you are feeling. We can work together to improve your overall self-confidence, make positive changes in your life, and develop a healthy relationship with yourself and others.

Working in an integrative way means I can draw from different approaches to ensure I work in a way that suits you personally, as we are all unique individuals. I recognise that what works for one person, might not work for another. I have a flexible way of working, you don't have to stick to just one area you would like support with. 

What experience do I have?

I have years of experience, including working with a range of different concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, relationship issues, low self-esteem, identity, sexuality, sex related concerns, relationship with food / body image, stress management, and family issues.

You may know exactly why you want to start counselling, or you may be looking for someone who can support you through the process to understand what is going on right now. You may also want to look into your past to help you understand more about yourself or gain answers.

I provide a confidential, non-judgmental and safe space to allow you feel safe enough to explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace, and to feel heard and listened to.

Couples counselling:

I often hear people say that you only go to couples counselling if you’re in crisis, or ‘on the rocks’ but that isn’t necessarily true. I believe couples counselling can be a space for you to work through any issues or worries that you are finding hard to resolve together. Couples counselling can be a great resource to help you both reconnect, communicate, and understand yourselves and each other at a deeper level. Relationship issues can include: communication difficulties, problem solving, lack of intimacy, different sex drives, feeling disconnected, financial worries, work stress, infidelity, lack of trust and more

What are the next steps?

- Email / text me to arrange your first appointment, or if you wish, a no commitment consultation where you can ask me any questions you may have.

- In the first appointment, we will discuss what you would like support with and start from there. You can also decide on how often you want to have therapy.

Some feedback I have received from sessions:

• “'Therapy gave me the chance to freely talk about things that I've never been able to discuss before. Being able to simply say things out loud to someone in a safe space was incredibly insightful and I would recommend Shannon to anyone!”

• “After therapy I am more able to communicate how I feel, and set boundaries with people, which has been really helpful.”

• “Therapy allowed me to look at where I was in my current life, this gave me the drive and confidence I needed to start taking more productive steps, such as applying for new job roles.” 

• “Shannon really listened to me, I felt heard, and like my feelings were validated.”
