About Kelly
BACP member. Four years' experience. Kelly Day works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, intimacy concerns, parenting and career issues. She describes herself as an integrative counsellor who brings spirituality and creativity into sessions where helpful.
Kelly leads sessions by the client's needs and pace. She focuses on understanding emotions and how they show up in the body and behaviour. She describes therapy as a process of recognising internal patterns and making connections across mind, body, spirit and feeling.
Her specialisms reflect areas she has personal experience with, including trauma, self-worth and self-esteem, anxiety, addiction, relationship to self and others, and self-harm. Sessions are intended to support people working through painful reactions, difficult memories and repeated habits that feel hard to change.
In practice she uses an integrative foundation and draws on spiritual and creative elements when they suit the person. Kelly emphasises exploration and reflection, with the client guiding the pace and direction of work.
She aims to help clients understand what underlying emotions are telling them and how those emotions may be linked to physical sensations or unhelpful patterns. This may include talking through feelings, noticing bodily responses and gently investigating repeated behaviours to find new ways forward.
How Kelly applies integrative and creative approaches online
Her core approach is integrative counselling, which blends different therapeutic ideas to fit what a person needs. That typically means talking through feelings, identifying unhelpful patterns and experimenting with new ways of responding to stress or painful memories.She also brings spirituality and creativity into work when it suits the client. Spiritual elements might include reflecting on meaning, values or inner experience, while creative practices can help express feelings that are hard to put into words. These approaches can be useful for trauma, grief, self-worth and patterns that repeat in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The counsellor will discuss goals, listen to preferences and try different ways of working to see what helps most. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as they are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and other commitments. They can also allow quieter check-ins or shorter sessions when that suits a person better, and avoid travel time so appointments are simpler to schedule.
