Kellie Giunta, BACP

Kellie Giunta is a BACP-accredited counsellor with over twelve years of practice. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where clients set the pace and she walks alongside them. Her work focuses on anxiety, trauma-informed care and practical strategies to manage distress.

She founded and co-manages a charity-based therapy centre to increase access to affordable support. That experience shaped her commitment to compassion and inclusivity. She aims to create emotional safety so clients can speak without feeling rushed or analysed.

Kellie uses a gentle, person-centred stance that keeps the client’s experience central. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help identify unhelpful thought patterns and build coping skills. This mix lets her pair deeper emotional work with clear, practical tools.

Her background includes clinical supervision and ongoing professional development. As an accredited clinical supervisor she supports other practitioners in ethical and reflective practice. Kellie has worked in a variety of settings supporting people through anxiety, loss and complex trauma.

In sessions she focuses on listening deeply and helping clients find clarity and direction. She offers compassion, practical strategies and encouragement to help people move towards healing and greater wellbeing.

How her approaches guide online work

Attachment-based ideas focus on how early relationships affect emotions and trust. In therapy this can help people understand patterns in close relationships and feel safer naming difficult feelings.

Person-centred work puts the client at the heart of the process. The counsellor listens without judgement, follows the client’s pace and helps people find their own answers rather than imposing solutions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical tools to challenge unhelpful thinking and to develop new coping strategies for anxiety, low mood or stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.

If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use approaches like CBT homework, reflective conversations and attachment-focused discussions in ways that fit everyday routines.
