Kelly Sartorius

Kelly Sartorius is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and low self-esteem. She works with women and others who are navigating life changes and looking for practical ways to feel steadier. Kelly uses straightforward, empathetic conversation to help people make sense of what they are going through.

Her approach draws on several ways of working so sessions are shaped to each person. Kelly uses Client-Centred Therapy to focus on the person's priorities and pace. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Psychodynamic ideas and Solution-Focused techniques when these suit the client.

Kelly holds a Foundation Degree in Science as an integrative counsellor and lists BACP and NCPS among her credentials. She has three years of professional experience and keeps her skills updated to meet client needs. She lives and works in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English.

In the room she aims to be warm, non-judgemental and practical. Sessions can be short-term, longer-term, single session or open-ended depending on what someone wants. Kelly aims to help people identify what matters to them and find realistic steps they can use between meetings.

People often come to Kelly for help with attachment or abandonment worries, caregiver stress, workplace pressure, midlife changes, trauma responses and feelings of isolation. She supports work on communication, forgiveness, guilt and building self-love as part of a wider plan for change.

Therapeutic approaches and remote support

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own priorities and pace, offering a respectful, listening-based way to make sense of difficult feelings. It helps when people want to be heard and to build clarity about what matters to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, stress and low mood where specific coping skills are useful.

Finding the right way of working is usually a shared decision. Kelly will discuss which approaches might suit a person's goals and preferences and adapt the mix as therapy progresses. The process is collaborative and aims to match techniques to the issues raised.

If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find it simpler to maintain continuity of care while juggling work, caring duties or other commitments.
