Kelsey Young, BACP, NCPS

Kelsey Young is an integrative counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS, offering compassionate support for people navigating difficult life moments. She approaches therapy as a collaborative process, listening without judgement and creating a space where clients can explore feelings, make sense of change, and work toward meaningful shifts in their lives.

Kelsey emphasises that there is no single right way to heal. She tailors her work to each person, drawing on a blend of existential, person-centred, cognitive-behavioural and relational methods to suit individual needs. That flexible approach helps when people are dealing with anxiety, grief and loss, neurodivergence, or the sense of being stuck between stages of life.

With a practical focus on coping and growth, Kelsey supports matters such as relationships, family dynamics, addiction, stress, parenting, career questions and sexuality-related concerns. She also works with issues including attachment and abandonment, trauma, mood difficulties, and the challenges that come with caregiving.

Grounded and approachable, Kelsey aims to meet clients where they are - offering realistic tools, steady presence and a non-pressured environment to explore change at a comfortable pace. She invites those seeking support to consider therapy as a shared, human process of understanding and adaptation.

Therapeutic approaches and remote support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting trapped by them, and supports building a life guided by personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, low mood and motivation-related struggles. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relational patterns formed in early relationships and how they affect current connections; it can help with trust, intimacy, abandonment and family dynamics by exploring how attachment styles shape behaviour. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises empathic listening and a non-directive stance, creating space for clients to find their own solutions and build self-understanding - helpful for self-esteem, identity questions and navigating life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Kelsey works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adapting the way she works as the relationship and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can happen by video call or phone, and shorter check-ins are possible via live chat or text-based messaging. This range of options makes it easier to access regular support around work, family commitments or mobility constraints, while allowing therapists and registered professionals to tailor contact to what works best for each client.
