About Kelly

Kelly Greenwood helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and self-esteem concerns through evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years' experience working with these issues.

Kelly uses practical methods to help clients understand patterns and find ways to cope day to day. She draws on approaches used in addiction work and trauma-informed care to address the root of repetitive behaviour and distress. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on building steady routines that support recovery and wellbeing.

Her background includes undergraduate study in Psychology, Psychotherapy and Counselling at the University of Greater Manchester, followed by a master's degree in Positive Psychology and Counselling. She has worked in the addiction sector and volunteers with a leading addiction organisation, which keeps her practice connected to current challenges in recovery.

In practice she integrates elements from several evidence-based methods, using a strengths-focused perspective from positive psychology alongside approaches common in addiction treatment. This combination is used to build resilience, address trauma responses and support long-term change.

Clients can expect to look at habits, triggers and practical coping strategies. Conversations include exploring feelings such as guilt, shame, abandonment and loneliness, and working on communication problems and life-purpose questions. Kelly aims to support people to make manageable changes and to build confidence in everyday life.

How her therapeutic approaches work online

Kelly uses approaches drawn from addiction work and trauma-informed practice. The 12-Step Model is used in many recovery plans and focuses on peer-supported steps that address behaviour patterns and ongoing relapse risks. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting controlled by them, then take small actions that match their values.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss different methods and agree a practical plan with the client, based on their goals and what feels most useful. That means trying a method and adjusting it as progress is reviewed.

Practical benefits of remote counselling can include fitting sessions around work or caregiving commitments and avoiding travel time. The biography does not list which session formats are used, so confirm the current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to have short check-ins, regular weekly sessions or ongoing recovery-focused meetings that fit into everyday life.
