About Kelly

Kelly Sartorius is a counsellor who focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, grief and relationship difficulties. She works with adults who are trying to regain confidence, cope with life changes or find more meaning in day-to-day life. Kelly aims to make the first steps feel manageable and clear.

Kelly uses a mix of approaches so sessions are shaped around what a person needs. She draws on client-centred ways of working to build a respectful, non-judgemental space.

Background and approach

Practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) are offered when thoughts and behaviours are getting in the way. When issues go deeper, Kelly uses psychodynamic ideas to look at repeated patterns and how past experiences influence current feelings. Solution-focused work helps set short-term goals and notice small changes that matter.

Mindfulness techniques are introduced to reduce stress and improve focus in everyday moments. Kelly holds BACP and NCPS credentials and has three years of practice experience in the United Kingdom. Sessions can be short term, long term, single sessions or open-ended depending on what someone needs.

She keeps sessions straightforward and collaborative, helping people develop practical coping skills and clearer next steps. Clients often come with concerns such as abandonment or attachment issues, caregiver stress, communication difficulties, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, loneliness and workplace stress. Kelly also supports people facing midlife change, grief, trauma responses and questions about life purpose.

How Kelly blends approaches for online support

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgement. This approach helps people feel heard and respected while they talk about stress, relationships or grief. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and introduces simple practical exercises to reduce anxiety and unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kelly will discuss options and try different methods together to see what fits best with a person's goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape sessions so they stay relevant and useful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video suits deeper conversational work where seeing facial cues helps, while phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief reflections, quick coping strategies or when it feels easier to type than speak. These options make therapy more flexible for people juggling work, care or other commitments, and let therapists and clients choose what works best for each stage of the process.
