About Kelly
Kelly Greenwood is a counsellor and a member of the BACP with three years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and self esteem. Kelly speaks English and sees clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.
Kelly describes practical, evidence-informed ways to manage addiction and trauma. She uses the 12-Step Recovery Model alongside approaches that emphasise values, acceptance and behaviour change. Sessions are spoken through in clear terms so people can make steady changes day to day.
Her background includes undergraduate study in Psychology, Psychotherapy and Counselling and a master's degree in Positive Psychology and Counselling. She has spent time working within the addiction sector and contributes to research around addiction issues. That work informs how she explains relapse, triggers and coping strategies.
In sessions Kelly focuses on specific problems such as drug and alcohol addiction, post-traumatic stress, grief, feelings of emptiness and difficulties with self-worth. She also addresses related issues like abandonment, communication problems, guilt and shame, and isolation. The emphasis is on manageable steps rather than abstract theory.
Kelly works in a way that aims to build resilience and longer-term wellbeing. She draws on evidence-based techniques and some strength-focused ideas from positive psychology when they fit a person's concerns. People are encouraged to set practical goals and check progress as therapy continues.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Kelly uses a mix of approaches that focus on behaviour change and on values. The 12-Step Recovery Model is used to help people understand patterns around addiction, set recovery-related routines and connect with peer-based steps for long-term change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while taking actions that match their chosen values.These approaches are explained in plain terms and adapted as work progresses. Kelly will discuss options with the client and decide together which methods suit the person's needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative discussion is part of early sessions so a clear plan can be agreed.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a working day, reduce travel time and allow a shorter check-in when needed. It can also let people continue work with the same counsellor if they move or travel, while focusing on practical steps and coping strategies that apply in everyday life.
