About Kelsey
Kelsey Young offers straightforward, down-to-earth counselling for people feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to turn. She focuses on listening and helping clients find practical ways to cope with life’s hard moments. Kelsey aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk honestly and work toward clearer next steps.
Kelsey trained as a BACP, NCPS professional - BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and NCPS is the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society.
Background and approach
She has three years of clinical experience and draws on several approaches to suit each person. Sessions emphasise real conversation rather than clinical jargon. Her work often supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, bipolar experience, grief and major life changes.
She also helps with relationship concerns, parenting strain, stress at work, sleep problems, and questions about intimacy and identity. Kelsey frequently addresses attachment and abandonment themes and works with neurodivergent issues including autism and Asperger Syndrome. In sessions she may use elements from Existential therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred methods.
That mix is chosen to match what each person needs in the moment. People can expect practical tools alongside space to reflect. Kelsey offers conversations about addiction, coping with trauma and compassion fatigue, plus support for career choices and communication problems.
Her style is practical, warm and curious, aiming to help people make meaningful changes at a manageable pace.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Existential therapy helps people name what matters most to them and face difficult life choices with clearer values and purpose. It is useful for those wondering about meaning, major life changes or feelings of being stuck.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches simple exercises for noticing difficult thoughts and moving toward chosen goals. It often helps with anxiety, depression, stress and problems like sleep and low motivation by focusing on action aligned with personal values.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people change unhelpful ways of relating. This can be useful for people dealing with abandonment, communication problems, or recurring relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will work with each person to decide what feels most useful based on their goals, history and preferences. Sessions may combine methods so that practical tools and reflective conversation fit together.
Online sessions can be held by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy fit daily life. Video is good for fuller conversation and non-verbal cues, phone can be lower-bandwidth, chat suits quick check-ins and messaging lets people reflect in their own time. These options offer flexibility so therapy can continue around work, family and other commitments.
