About Kellie

Kellie Giunta works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addiction and trauma. She uses a person-centred way of working and practical cognitive behavioural techniques to help people manage thoughts and feelings. Kellie is a BACP member and has 12 years of experience in mental health and counselling.

Kellie draws on attachment-based ideas to understand how early connections shape current relationships and emotions. She combines this with client-centred listening so people can set the pace and say what matters to them. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is used alongside these approaches to identify unhelpful thinking and try new responses.

Her background includes running a charity-based therapy centre that focused on affordable access to counselling. She has worked in a range of settings supporting people through anxiety, loss and complex trauma. She also works as a clinical supervisor for other practitioners.

In sessions she offers steady, direct listening and practical strategies. Conversations might include looking at patterns in relationships, planning coping steps for panic or low mood, or practising different ways of communicating. Sessions move at the client’s speed and focus on what needs attention now.

Kellie draws on ongoing professional development to keep her practice responsive. The combination of attachment-informed thinking, person-centred listening and CBT gives scope for emotional exploration alongside clear tools for day-to-day coping.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Kellie combines person-centred listening with attachment-based thinking and cognitive behavioural techniques. Person-centred work means the counsellor listens without directing the conversation and lets clients set the pace; this helps when people need time to talk through personal concerns. Attachment-based ideas focus on how early relationships affect current patterns and can be useful for relationship issues and ongoing emotional pain. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviours and provides practical steps for reducing distress, which can help with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful routines.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kellie will collaborate with clients to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That decision is reviewed as therapy progresses so the focus can change if required.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so readers should confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can help fit sessions into everyday life by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins during busy days, and making it easier to attend when schedules are tight. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need lower bandwidth options, depending on the formats offered. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these approaches to work effectively in a remote setting.
