Kelly Sartorius, BACP, NCPS

Kelly Sartorius welcomes parents and individuals who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about the next step. She aims to make the first sessions straightforward and focused so people can see where change might begin. Kelly writes plainly and listens closely to what matters most to each person who gets in touch.

Kelly holds a FdSc degree as an integrative counsellor and lists BACP and NCPS among her credentials. She has three years of experience and draws on several therapeutic approaches to shape sessions. This gives her room to adapt methods to the person in front of her rather than following a single script.

In practice she blends client-centred work with elements from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and psychodynamic ideas. That means conversations start from what the client brings, while also looking at patterns that keep problems going and testing small changes to reduce symptoms. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are used to build coping skills and practical steps for everyday life.

Kelly says she aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about anxiety, stress, grief, relationship problems, low self-esteem and life transitions. She also works with issues such as attachment, abandonment, caregiver stress, workplace concerns and post-traumatic stress.

Therapy may be short term or longer, depending on what each person needs. To begin, clients follow an initial matching process and then schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability. Sessions are conducted in English in the United Kingdom.

How these approaches fit into online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and decide what changes they want to make. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking and behaviour patterns and teaches straightforward skills to reduce anxiety and stress. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices to manage strong emotions and increase calm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and test what feels most helpful. Sessions are collaborative - choices about techniques and pacing are guided by the client's needs and what works in practice.

This profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people keep continuity of care if circumstances change, while the therapist adapts tools and exercises to suit remote sessions.
