Authentically Rise

I am Kelly a psychotherapist and counsellor working from a relational and trauma-informed approach, supporting individuals who may be struggling with life’s challenges, emotional overwhelm, or a sense of disconnection from themselves or others. My practice is grounded in curiosity, care, and compassion, offering a space where all parts of you are welcome even those that feel hidden, painful, or difficult to share.

At the heart of my work is relationship. I believe healing happens in connection, through being seen, heard, and understood in a way that may not have felt possible before. Together, we explore your inner world with sensitivity and respect, bringing awareness to patterns that may be keeping you stuck, feelings of aloneness that long to be met, anxieties and needs that are waiting to be acknowledged. My aim is to help you develop a deeper sense of understanding and self-compassion, so that you can begin to live with more ease and authenticity.

Working relationally means that our therapeutic relationship becomes part of the healing process. I offer a space that balances warmth and gentle challenge, a space where we can be curious about what is happening in the moment, notice what arises between us, and use that understanding to support your growth. My approach is creative and responsive, adapting to what feels right for you.

Being trauma-informed means I work with an awareness of how trauma can shape our sense of safety, trust, and connection. Together, we move at a pace that honours your readiness, building safety in the body and mind. I recognise that sometimes parts of us have had to adapt in order to survive, and I hold these parts with deep respect. Therapy with me is not about forcing change, but about gently uncovering what has been hidden, allowing space for new possibilities to emerge.

Many people come to therapy carrying invisible burdens such as feelings, memories, or experiences that have never had a safe place to land. Therapy can be a deeply healing process offering a place to bring what has felt hidden into the light, to be met and understood rather than judged or ignored. It’s an invitation to come home to yourself, to reconnect with your emotions, and to begin living in a way that feels more whole and true.

I offer 50–60 minute counselling sessions at £50. A limited number of concessionary spaces are available for those who may need reduced-cost support.

My approach is trauma-informed, meaning sessions are paced collaboratively and centred on your sense of safety, choice, and empowerment. Together, we work in a way that respects your lived experience and supports your capacity to heal at a rhythm that feels right for you.

Sessions are available in Swansea, Carmarthen, and Online, providing flexibility and accessibility for different needs and comfort levels.

I hold an advanced DBS check, carry full insurance, and am a member of both the NCPS and BACP.
