About Kelly
Kelly Sartorius offers practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or big life changes. She works with individuals seeking clearer coping tools, steadier self-esteem and healthier relationships. Kelly writes simply and listens closely to what matters most to each person.
Kelly trained as an integrative counsellor and holds a Foundation Degree in Science (FdSc) in integrative counselling. She also lists BACP and NCPS among her credentials and combines ideas from different models to match a person’s needs.
Background and approach
Her practice focuses on gentle, collaborative work rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Sessions often focus on understanding what’s behind a problem and building practical steps to feel better. She uses client-centred listening alongside cognitive approaches to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of responding.
Mindfulness and solution-focused ideas are used where shorter, goal-led work is useful. Kelly also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time. That helps when people bring experiences like abandonment, attachment issues or past trauma into the room.
Topics she commonly supports include caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation and workplace pressures. Her style is warm and non-judgemental. Sessions aim to leave people with clearer options and simple, everyday strategies.
If you want to know how therapy might fit into your life, she asks clients to start with a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How Kelly works online
Finding the right fit is usually a joint process. Kelly will discuss your goals, preferences and day-to-day life to decide which approaches to use. That way the work stays relevant and responsive to what you need as it changes.
Confirm the session options before booking so you know how sessions are arranged. Online work can make it easier to schedule appointments around family, work or travel. It also allows shorter check-ins when you need a quick step forward, and it removes travel time so therapy fits into a busy day. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework to suit home routines, helping people practise new skills between sessions.
