Kelly Sartorius , BACP, NCPS

Kelly Sartorius is an integrative counsellor in the United Kingdom who supports people navigating stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, and low self-esteem. With three years of professional experience, she draws on a range of therapeutic models to tailor support to each person's needs and goals.

She holds a FdSc degree in integrative counselling, a foundation-level higher education qualification, and maintains professional credentials including BACP and NCPS. BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a leading UK counselling membership, while NCPS is listed as a professional counselling credential. These qualifications underpin her practice and ongoing professional development.

Kelly's clinical training includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and elements of Mindfulness Therapy. That variety allows her to blend techniques for short-term focused work or deeper, open-ended exploration depending on what a client needs. She offers short-term, long-term, single-session, and open-ended therapy formats to suit different situations.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, workplace difficulties, life transitions, relationship and communication problems, and questions about life purpose. Kelly aims to combine empathy and practical tools so people can better understand their struggles and develop coping strategies to move forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Kelly offers a mix of evidence-informed approaches that can be adapted to online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, empathic relationship where clients explore their feelings and choices at their own pace - this approach is helpful for building self-esteem, processing grief, and improving relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, works by identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and teaching practical skills to change them; it is often used for anxiety, stress, and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and awareness practices to help manage overwhelming emotions and reduce reactivity, supporting coping with life changes and ongoing stress.

Choosing the right way of working is part of the therapeutic process. Kelly collaborates with each client to determine which approaches match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring, and she adapts the plan as work progresses so the therapy stays relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, to access support from home, and to continue work across life transitions while maintaining continuity with a licensed professional therapist.
