About Kellie

Kellie Giunta is a BACP-accredited counsellor with 12 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, anger, career issues and related concerns. She also lists support around LGBT matters, bipolar, and coping with life changes.

She founded and co-manages a charity-based therapy centre that offers more affordable support. That experience shaped how she works with people under pressure. She uses trauma-informed boundaries and a quiet, respectful manner to help people feel able to talk without rush.

Kellie blends person-centred listening with cognitive behavioural techniques. She listens first, then helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and practical coping steps. This mix lets people look at painful feelings while also building tools to manage them day to day.

Her background includes work across several settings supporting people through loss, anxiety and complex trauma. She also provides clinical supervision to other practitioners, helping them keep reflective and ethical in their practice. She keeps up professional development to respond to different needs.

People come to her for clear strategies as well as space to talk things through. She offers guidance on communication problems, control issues, addiction concerns, body image, abandonment and attachment issues, and caregiver stress. The focus is on steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How her approaches translate to online work

Her practice uses person-centred and attachment-informed ideas alongside cognitive behavioural work. Person-centred therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people explore their own concerns at their own pace. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and helps people recognise and change those patterns. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and introduces practical strategies to manage mood, anxiety and anger.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person’s situation and goals. That means sessions can move between reflective listening and structured exercises depending on what a client needs.

The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and reducing travel time. Please confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as current options are set by the therapist. Many people find online work makes it easier to attend regular check-ins, try brief skills practice between tasks, or use shorter sessions around work breaks.
