About Kelly
Kelly Sartorius works with adults who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or big life changes. She helps people who are struggling with self-esteem, relationships and coping when life gets hard. Kelly writes plainly and listens closely so people can talk about what matters most to them.
Kelly has three years of professional experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and NCPS is the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society.
How Kelly works
She trained as an integrative counsellor and uses that background to shape each session around the person in front of her. Her approach combines client-centred listening with practical techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and solution-focused work. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences influence present feelings.
Mindfulness techniques are used to help with grounding and managing distressing thoughts. Sessions can be short-term, longer-term, or a single session depending on what someone needs. Kelly offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging to fit different routines and preferences.
She works from the United Kingdom and sees people in English only. In sessions Kelly aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can explore feelings and develop tools to cope. She assists with issues such as abandonment and attachment concerns, caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, workplace pressures, life purpose, and recovery after trauma.
The work focuses on practical steps alongside reflection so people can make steady changes.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Kelly blends client-centred therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness work. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following what matters to the person, which helps build trust and clarity. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy offers practical techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours, useful for anxiety, stress and low mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and grounding exercises to reduce reactivity and manage strong emotions.Finding the right approach is a joint process. Kelly will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that suit those needs. She adapts the mix of listening, practical tasks and reflective work as progress is made, so the plan changes with what helps most.
Online work is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lives. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation from wherever someone is. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a calmer voice-only check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection, or people who prefer not to use a camera. These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, caregiving or travel.
