About Kelly

Kelly Day is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and challenges around food and body image. She presents as calm and approachable, and aims to guide clients through difficult moments at a pace that feels manageable. She uses an integrative counselling framework and blends reflective work with creative and spiritual elements.

Kelly places emphasis on getting to know how thoughts, feelings and the body connect. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs in the moment, with room for exploration of emotions, behaviours and recurring patterns. She often helps people understand where urges, self-sabotage or physical sensations come from.

Her practice includes supporting people with trauma, addictions, self-harm and relationship to self and others. She also works with issues such as abandonment, guilt and shame, depression, workplace stress and end-of-life concerns. Kelly says some of her specialisms come from lived experience, and she weaves that perspective into her clinical conversations.

Therapy with Kelly can include creative ways of reflecting, talk-based sessions and attention to spiritual beliefs when relevant. She describes therapy as a joint process where client and counsellor unravel patterns together and notice internal wisdom that can guide change.

Kelly is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has four years of practice experience. She works with English-speaking clients in the United Kingdom and is open to working with international clients.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Kelly describes her base as integrative counselling, which means she draws on several techniques to suit each person. Integrative counselling focuses on understanding thoughts, emotions and behaviours together and aims to help people recognise unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding. It is often useful for anxiety, depression and problems with self-worth.

She also uses creative and spiritual elements in sessions. Creative approaches might include reflective exercises or imagery to help people notice feelings differently, while spiritual exploration can help those who want to connect therapy to wider beliefs and meaning. These methods can support work on trauma, grief and body image concerns.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with clients about goals and preferences, then adapt techniques as the relationship develops. Sessions can shift between practical steps, gentle reflection and creative tasks depending on what feels most helpful.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the session options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow people to meet from different locations. It can also offer shorter check-ins or conversation styles that suit someone who prefers not to use a camera every time.
