About Kelly
Kelly Richardson is a BACP counsellor with 11 years of practice. She draws on person-centred work to create an open, respectful space where people can talk through their worries. Many come to her feeling low, anxious, or overwhelmed and wanting practical ways to cope.
Kelly blends a holistic view of mind and body with straightforward coping tools. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and to try small behaviour changes.
Background and approach
She also uses mindfulness and solution-focused ideas to build short-term skills and boost day-to-day resilience. Her background includes work with bereavement services and an NHS initiative for anxiety and depression. She has also worked alongside police and emergency services staff and supports people with work-related stress through Employee Assistance Programmes.
This range of experience informs a down-to-earth approach in sessions. Kelly trained at the University of Hull and Leeds Beckett University and maintains ongoing professional development. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP.
She also holds BACP accreditation, reflecting continued standards of practice. Sessions happen online by video or phone, and through live chat or text messaging. New clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and booking a first session.
Kelly aims to help people regain energy, manage change, and find clearer ways to move forward.

Online support
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kelly works with each person to match methods to their goals, needs and preferences. Some people start with short-term, solution-focused work and later move to deeper, longer-term exploration if that feels right.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different lives. Video gives face-to-face contact, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins and text messaging supports brief reflections between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring duties or travel, and let people choose the format that helps them engage best.
