Kelly Hann , ACA

Kelly Hann is an ACA counsellor with four years of clinical experience. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, depression and major life changes. She adopts a warm, respectful manner and focuses on practical steps that can ease daily struggle.

Kelly listens first and then works with each person to build a plan that fits their situation. Sessions are conversational and centred on the client’s goals. She adapts techniques to suit how someone prefers to work, whether that is talking things through, practising grounding skills, or using structured exercises.

Kelly uses evidence-informed approaches and includes EMDR when it seems helpful for trauma and painful memories. She also draws on mindfulness practices to support emotion regulation and self-soothing. Internal Family Systems helps when people want to better understand internal parts that drive behaviour and feeling.

Her style is calm and down-to-earth. She focuses on small, realistic changes that add up over time. The aim is to help people feel more in control and more able to face day-to-day life.

Kelly is based in Australia and conducts sessions in English. She tailors each plan to the individual and supports practical coping strategies for work, family responsibilities, and the demands of everyday life.

Approaches that translate to online therapy

Kelly combines client-centred work with targeted therapies so online sessions stay practical and personal. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and collaborating on goals; it helps people feel heard and guides the conversation towards useful change. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, is a structured way to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and intrusive images when appropriate for the person. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention skills and simple exercises to manage overwhelming feelings and build calm in daily life.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques that fit the client’s needs, and adapt methods over time. This helps make sure the work matches personal goals and comfort levels rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online delivery offers flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different locations, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a quicker check-in, while live chat or text messaging suit short updates or when writing feels easier. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving or other commitments and to continue progress between appointments.
