Kelly Sartorius , BACP, NCPS

Kelly Sartorius is a qualified integrative counsellor who supports people seeking greater emotional wellbeing and healthier ways of living. With training across several therapeutic models, she personalises her approach to match each client’s needs and goals. She has three years of experience working with clients from diverse backgrounds, addressing concerns that include stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, and challenges with self-esteem.

Her professional training spans Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy, which she integrates to suit individual preferences and circumstances. She holds an FdSc degree in integrative counselling and holds credentials with BACP and NCPS, reflecting formal qualifications in counselling and related methods.

In practice she aims to offer a warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental environment where people can explore their thoughts and feelings and work collaboratively toward change. She provides short-term, long-term, single session, and open-ended therapy options to accommodate different needs. Kelly helps clients build practical coping skills, process trauma and life transitions, improve communication in relationships, and develop greater self-compassion and resilience.

Her integrative stance allows sessions to combine techniques and perspectives so underlying issues can be understood and practical strategies developed, helping clients move toward clearer purpose and improved day-to-day functioning.

Integrative approaches and online support

Kelly uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a compassionate, accepting space that helps people explore their thoughts and feelings and strengthen self-understanding. This approach supports issues like low self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns by placing the client’s experience at the centre of the work.

She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical skills to manage anxiety, stress, and mood difficulties. CBT is often useful for people who want structured strategies and clear tools to change how they respond to challenges.

Solution-Focused Therapy is another option Kelly draws on when clients prefer brief, goal-oriented work. It concentrates on identifying strengths and small, achievable steps to move toward specific goals, which can be helpful for coping with life changes, workplace stress, and decision points.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kelly will work collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She will adapt methods over time as those needs evolve.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, and other commitments. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable.
