About Kellie

Kellie Giunta is a counsellor with a focus on trauma-informed care and anxiety. She practices with compassion and aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what they are carrying. Kellie uses a gentle, person-centred stance and encourages clients to set the pace of therapy.

Kellie has worked in the field for 12 years and holds BACP accreditation. Her background includes founding and co-managing a charity-based therapy centre that offers more affordable support. That experience shaped her commitment to inclusivity and to practical, accessible help.

In sessions she blends client-centred listening with structured tools from cognitive behavioural approaches. That mix lets her balance deeper emotional work with concrete coping strategies for concerns such as anxiety, sleeping difficulties, addiction and grief. She aims to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different ways of responding.

Many people come to Kellie with relationship strain, parenting pressures, work stress or the lasting effects of trauma and abuse. She also supports those dealing with body image, bereavement, caregiving stress and transitions such as separation or adoption-related issues. Her style is steady, respectful and focused on practical steps as well as feeling heard.

Kellie offers reflective supervision for other practitioners in addition to her clinical work. If you are looking for a counsellor who listens closely and works collaboratively, she aims to provide clear, paced support that fits your needs.

How attachment, person-centred and CBT approaches work online

Attachment-based work focuses on relationships and how early experiences shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they may feel anxious or disconnected and supports building more secure ways of relating.

Person-centred counselling offers a listening, non-judgemental environment where the client leads the pace. This approach is helpful for people who need to feel heard first, before tackling practical changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. It is useful for tackling anxiety, sleep problems, low mood and stress through clear, step-by-step work.

Finding the right mix is part of the therapy process. The counsellor will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches suit their needs, goals and preferences. That exploration is paced to what feels manageable, combining listening with hands-on techniques when appropriate.

If you are considering online work, confirm the session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, save travel time and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. They can also suit people who prefer not to travel or who have tight schedules, while still allowing the therapeutic relationship to develop over time.
