About Kelly
Counsellor Kelly Day is a BACP member with four years' experience. She helps people in the United Kingdom with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, parenting concerns and other life changes. Kelly also works with issues such as trauma and abuse, intimacy-related problems and workplace difficulties.
Kelly describes her practice as integrative, using that as a foundation while also drawing on spiritual and creative methods. Sessions are led by the client's needs and progress at a pace they find comfortable. She emphasises connecting thoughts, emotions and bodily experience to make sense of behaviour and feelings.
In practical terms Kelly helps people notice what sits beneath behaviours like self-harm, avoidance or sabotaging patterns. She talks through emotions and the messages they may carry. The work can involve reflecting on past events, current pressures and how these affect everyday life.
Kelly says her specialisms come from lived experience, including trauma, self-worth and addiction. She offers space for people to name painful material and to consider how it shows up in relationships and work. Spiritual themes are woven into the sessions when relevant to the client.
Sessions focus on steady exploration rather than quick fixes. Kelly encourages clients to slow the pace when needed and to build understanding over time. To start, the site matching process and a first appointment are used to agree how to proceed.
Approaches used in online counselling
Kelly describes an integrative way of working that draws together different therapeutic ideas. Integrative work means combining methods to suit what a person needs in each session, such as talking through difficult memories or noticing how feelings show up in the body. This can help with problems like anxiety, depression and patterns that cause distress.She also weaves spiritual and creative elements into sessions when they are meaningful to the client. Those strands can offer different ways of understanding feelings and of making sense of life events, for example through imagery, reflective practice or exploring personal beliefs.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and is decided collaboratively. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable. Together they agree the pace and methods to try, and can adjust them as the work progresses.
The practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions around daily life and reducing travel time. If you are unsure which session formats are offered, confirm the available options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote sessions to make therapy easier to schedule and to support ongoing work without requiring in-person attendance.
