About Kelly Dynes

Kelly Dynes holds the BACP credential (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and brings a compassionate, relational approach to therapeutic work. With a natural inclination toward listening and building trust, she combines honest feedback with sensitivity to help clients explore challenges and find practical ways forward. Kelly emphasises that effective therapy rests on the quality of the relationship between client and therapist and strives to cultivate that connection through mutual respect and clear communication.

She has extensive experience supporting people affected by trauma, bereavement, anxiety, and depression, and is comfortable working with a wide range of life difficulties including relationship concerns, parenting stress, addiction, and caregiver strain. As someone who uses a wheelchair, Kelly offers lived insight into the mental health impacts of physical disability and caring responsibilities, and she brings that perspective into her work with clients.

Kelly is also trained and experienced in working with neurodivergent clients and is committed to inclusion within therapeutic spaces. She is currently learning British Sign Language and hopes to begin incorporating it into her practice within the next 12 months, though she is not yet using it in sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and remote care with Kelly Dynes

Kelly integrates client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and trauma-focused approaches into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where the client leads the pace and direction of change; it is helpful for building self-understanding and addressing life transitions. CBT offers practical skills for identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on processing distressing experiences and reducing their ongoing impact, supporting recovery from post-traumatic symptoms and related difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kelly works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time to find what is most helpful.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility considerations, or geographical constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and fit therapy into daily life while working with licensed professionals and therapists who adapt methods to remote formats.
