Kelly Sartorius, BACP, NCPS

Kelly Sartorius is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and relationship concerns. She also supports those dealing with grief, low self-esteem and major life changes. Kelly aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and clear. Her style is integrative, which means she draws on several counselling approaches to fit each person. Sessions tend to centre on what the client wants to change and on practical ways to move forward. Kelly uses straightforward tools and gentle reflection so people can try things between sessions. Kelly holds a Foundation Degree in Science as an integrative counsellor and lists BACP and NCPS among her credentials. She has around three years of practice experience and keeps developing her skills with ongoing learning. Her background covers a range of common concerns, from workplace stress to trauma-related difficulties. In therapy she aims to offer a warm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk openly. Work often includes looking at unhelpful patterns, improving communication, and building coping strategies. The pace and focus are agreed together so sessions reflect each person’s priorities. Practical options include short-term or longer-term work and single-session meetings or open-ended therapy, according to what a client prefers. Kelly encourages people to set clear goals and to review progress regularly so the work stays useful.

How Kelly’s approaches work for online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and understood. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflecting concerns back and helping them find their own solutions; this can help with low self-worth and relationship worries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, stress and mood problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and improve calm; this can be useful for stress and coping with strong emotions.

Deciding which approach to use is a shared task. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has helped before. Together they choose methods to try and review what works, adjusting the mix as needed so sessions stay relevant to everyday life.

If you are interested in online therapy, please confirm the current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when days are tight. It also lets people balance appointments around caring responsibilities or work commitments without promising a particular delivery method.
