“Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom”

Welcome to my Practice!

I believe every individual has their own unique reality composed of life experiences, personality, knowledge and emotions that shape their perspectives of the world.

I offer a safe, non judgemental space where you are able to deeply explore and process stressful life events and times of transition. A space where you are able to discover parts of yourself, seek meaning, recognise your personal power and honour your life story.

My approach is firmly rooted in deep compassion, unconditional positive regard and a genuine openheartedness.

“People only seriously consider change when they feel accepted for exactly who they are.”

My Approach

I use a holistic approach where I look at the body and mind and explore ways to support both aspects of each individual I work with. I use a range of modalities, which include:

  • Medical model - I work with a gut health doctor who explores the possible physical causes of mental disequilibrium and together we work to balance the body and mind for optimal functioning.

  • SOMATIC - Explore therapeutic and holistic approaches for the body. Our bodies experience and store trauma and negative experiences and they too need to find a way to release these.

  • DBT (Dialectical Behaviour therapy) - looks at regulating intense emotions and improving interpersonal relationships through validation, acceptance and ultimately behaviour change.

  • Psychodynamic - explores our unconscious psychological processes such as wishes and fears of which we're not fully aware of, and believes that childhood experiences are crucial in shaping our adult lives.

  • REBT - Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy - identify self-defeating thoughts and feelings, challenge the rationality of those feelings, and replace them with healthier, more productive beliefs.

“Kelly helped me navigate my world as a mom of a budding teenager. I was feeling overwhelmed and felt I needed tools to manage the relationship with my son. Her invaluable support and guidance during this time was paramount for both me and my son’s mental wellbeing!”

LEIGH R., BRIGHTON UK

“I was drowning in my role as a single mother during lockdown. My weekly remote sessions with Kelly gave me the coping tools I needed to manage my days.”

EMMA V, CAPE TOWN, RSA

“My teenage son, became very anxious when he returned to school after the Lockdown. He became withdrawn and became angry very quickly. Kelly worked with him online and explored his feelings of anger, which disarmed his high levels of anxiety. He has been equipped with tools to manage daily life stress and regulate his responses.
