Get to know me

Hi there, I’m Kelly Wellington, MBACP (Accred). I am an accredited member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).
 
Before training to be a counsellor, I worked in both the public and private sectors. This has given me an understanding of the different expectations and restrictions that people can face within these workplace environments.
 

I am an integrative counsellor with a core training in person-centred theory. What this means is that I tailor my approach to each individual, as we know we are not all the same and neither is therapy. Predominantly, I offer a talking therapy, I provide an office space that we can create a safe environment together, thinking about your individual challenges and how we might work together to make things feel easier for you. Over my years as a counsellor, I have gained a wide understanding of counselling theories which inform the work that I do and the interventions I might offer in sessions.

In an ever changing world, I ensure that I stay up to date with CPD (continued professional development) to support my clients. I am about to study EMDR – (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) this is especially effective in supporting individuals with trauma processing, fears and phobias.

I also have a very keen interest in Neurodevelopmental trauma and Neurodiversity. The latter forms the large majority of my client base at the moment.
