About Kellie
Counsellor and BACP member with 12 years' experience, Kellie Giunta focuses on anxiety, trauma and related concerns. She works with people dealing with stress, depression, relationship strain, grief and issues such as addiction or low self-esteem. Sessions are offered in English in the United Kingdom.
Kellie uses an approach that centres the person in the room. She listens and follows the pace a client prefers. She also uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns and to build practical coping steps.
Her work has included roles in different settings and she has helped people through both recent crises and longer-term difficulties. Kellie has experience supporting those affected by trauma, domestic violence, bereavement, parenting pressures and work-related stress.
She combines reflective conversation with hands-on exercises when these are useful. That might mean looking at thoughts and behaviours with CBT tools, and also tracing how early attachments affect current relationships via attachment-based ideas. The emphasis is on clarity and gradual progress rather than quick fixes.
Kellie also supervises other practitioners and has been involved in running a charity therapy centre. That work informs her practical approach to accessibility and finding ways to make therapy fit everyday life.

How Kellie uses attachment, person-centred work and CBT online
Her practice draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns shape feelings and reactions now. This helps when relationship problems, attachment issues or abandonment concerns are part of the difficulty.She offers client-centred work that gives the person time to speak and be heard. That approach focuses on listening, reflecting and following the pace the client prefers, which suits emotional difficulties and grief.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and build concrete coping strategies. CBT techniques can help with anxiety, low mood, sleeping problems and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Kellie will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and adapt the balance of reflective and structured work as the sessions progress.
