Kelly Mayes, BACP

Kelly Mayes helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or depression.

About Kelly

Kelly Mayes helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or depression. She introduces simple ways to talk about painful experiences and to start making small changes. Her tone is calm and direct so parents can read quickly and know what to expect.

Kelly has nine years of experience working with people affected by trauma and abuse. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, grief, sleep problems and career worries.

Background and approach

Young adult issues, social anxiety, post-traumatic stress and self-harm are areas she is familiar with. In sessions she focuses on creating an open, non-judgemental space. Clients are invited to say what matters to them and set realistic goals.

Conversations are practical and paced to each person's needs. She works in English and accepts people living outside the UK who want online support. Sessions can be arranged to suit different routines and time zones.

The first step is a short questionnaire that helps match people with the right therapist. Kelly follows recognised, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and rebuild routines. She encourages learning simple tools that can be used between meetings.

The aim is steady progress rather than rapid fixes.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Kelly lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online support

Kelly uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear steps and everyday tools. One approach helps people to identify patterns that keep anxiety and low mood going and then to try small behavioural changes to break those patterns. Another approach concentrates on working through the impact of trauma at a pace that feels safe, helping people reduce intrusive memories and rebuild routines that feel manageable.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kelly collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as progress is made or new issues come up.

Online therapy with Kelly is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for a more personal conversation while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit short check-ins or for people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and time zone differences.
