About

About Kellie

Kellie Giunta is a counsellor with 12 years of practice and a BACP credential. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk at their own pace. Kellie aims to listen deeply and help people feel understood before any work begins.

She founded and co-manages a charity-based therapy centre that focuses on affordable, accessible support. That experience informs how she shapes sessions - practical, compassionate, and rooted in respect.

Background and approach

Kellie prioritises emotional safety and works to create a space where people can bring difficult feelings without being rushed. Kellie uses a gentle, trauma-informed way of working. She combines a person-centred style with cognitive behavioural techniques to balance emotional exploration and practical tools.

This helps people make sense of upsetting experiences while learning strategies to cope day to day. Her areas of focus include anxiety, grief, depression, relationship difficulties, addictions, bipolar challenges, parenting strain, and issues related to LGBT identity. Additional concerns she supports include attachment and abandonment worries, body image, caring for someone with illness, and recovering from domestic violence or substance problems.

Kellie also offers clinical supervision to other practitioners, drawing on her background supporting helpers and counsellors. She keeps up with professional development and shapes her practice around clients' needs and goals. People who want a steady, empathetic listener and practical next steps may find her approach helpful.

Online support

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on relationships and how early bonds shape current feelings. In practice this means talking about connection patterns, noticing how people relate to others, and finding new ways to feel more supported in relationships.

Person-centred (client-centred) work places the person’s experience at the centre. The counsellor listens without judgement, follows the client’s lead, and helps them make sense of their own feelings and choices.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It breaks problems down into manageable steps, teaches practical skills and supports people to try different ways of coping in everyday life.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Kellie discusses options with each person and adapts methods to suit their goals and preferences. This collaborative process helps decide whether more exploration or more practical skills are needed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use different ways of meeting when that helps them engage. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use these flexible arrangements to help therapy fit day-to-day commitments.
