Kelsey Young offers straightforward, calm support for people feeling overwhelmed by life’s messier moments. She welcomes those coping with anxiety, depression, grief, stress and relationship or intimacy concerns. Kelsey writes plainly and listens closely to help people find practical steps forward.

Kelsey is a BACP practitioner and holds NCPS. She has three years of practice experience and draws on several approaches to shape sessions around each person's needs. Conversations focus on what matters to the client and on small, do-able changes between meetings.

Background and approach

Her approach is collaborative and flexible. Kelsey blends elements of acceptance and commitment work, cognitive-behavioural ideas and client-centred listening so sessions feel both grounding and action-oriented. She aims to make therapy feel like a helpful conversation rather than a lecture.

Common themes she helps with include managing mood and stress, coping with loss, negotiating relationship and intimacy issues, addressing addictive behaviours, and supporting people navigating neurodivergence and attachment concerns. She also works with career strain, parenting stresses and burnout-related compassion fatigue. Kelsey uses practical exercises, reflective listening and goal-focused check-ins.

Sessions may include mindfulness practices, values clarification, or behavioural experiments tailored to the person’s daily life. Her style is warm, direct and respectful, with an emphasis on what clients want to change. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions.

Kelsey offers several online formats to fit different routines and preferences.

How Kelsey’s approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while still taking steps that matter to them. It supports values-driven action and can be useful for anxiety, depression and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going and on trying small experiments to shift them. It is practical for stress, sleep problems and mood management. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises warm, non-judgemental listening so the client can explore concerns at their own pace and feel heard.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kelsey will talk with people about their goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they choose or blend methods so sessions match the person’s needs rather than sticking to a single model.

Online therapy with Kelsey uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared exercises. Phone sessions can be a good option when video is difficult or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to keep therapy running around work, parenting and daily life.
