Kelsey Young , BACP, NCPS

Kelsey Young is a counsellor who focuses on helping women with everyday pressures and big life shifts. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk about worries like anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and stress. Kelsey’s approach is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at making things feel more manageable day to day.

She uses a mix of therapy styles to fit each person’s needs rather than one fixed method. That can mean noticing patterns in how someone relates to others, looking at thoughts that get in the way, or working on values and actions that matter. Sessions are conversational and paced by the client’s comfort.

Kelsey has three years of clinical experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She works with issues often faced by women, including body image, intimacy-related concerns, parenting strain, career pressures and relationship difficulties. She also supports people dealing with neurodivergence, trauma, addictions and mood conditions.

Practical needs are part of the work too. Kelsey can help with sleep problems, anger, coping during life changes, and strategies for daily functioning. Coaching-style conversations are available for people wanting clearer direction or goal-focused support.

Sessions are offered in English and are delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability. The structure is adaptable to fit different routines and commitments.

How Kelsey’s approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thought patterns and habits, and teaches practical skills to manage mood, worry and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how past and current relationships shape emotional responses and can help with intimacy, trust and communication issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, habits and preferences, then suggest ways of working. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted over time to fit what helps most.

Online therapy with Kelsey is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is good for richer conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat or text work well for brief check-ins or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and travel, while still keeping regular progress and support.
