About me

Is ignoring your problems until your body completely crashes your current survival strategy? If you are a high-achieving perfectionist, managing chronic illness, or navigating trauma, I completely get it—both professionally and personally. I'm Kelly, a Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapist.

As someone living with chronic pain and endometriosis, as well as neurodivergence (dyslexia and dyspraxia), I understand firsthand how exhausting it is to navigate a world that isn't always built for your body or brain.

I work with clients who are done white-knuckling through life, tired of pretending they have everything under control, and ready to move past toxic positivity.

When you are constantly running on empty, forcing yourself to keep pushing forward isn't just unhelpful—it's burnout waiting to happen. In our work, we operate as equal partners.

We'll roll up our sleeves to dissect how your brain tricks you into believing your worst thoughts, untangle complex psychological and physical symptoms, and rewrite the rigid internal scripts keeping you stuck.

Because I know how neurodivergent brains and body pain interact, our sessions are flexible, practical, and tailored to how you uniquely process the world. My approach is grounded in evidence-based science, but our work won't feel cold or clinical.

I bring warmth, realness, and a healthy dose of humour—because being able to laugh at your brain's bizarre antics is often a powerful tool for healing.

Together, we'll dismantle anxious perfectionism, lighten the toll of chronic illness, and safely process trauma so you can reclaim genuine relief. It can feel deeply lonely to carry this weight, but you don't have to anymore.

If you're ready for practical, proven healing in a supportive, judgment-free space, I'd love to connect.

Reach out today, and let's see if we are a great fit.
