About Kelly
Kelly Kelbrick is an ACA counsellor practising in Australia with three years of professional experience. She works with adults who face stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and ADHD. Sessions aim to help people talk through what’s happening now and find practical ways to manage difficult emotions.
Kelly draws on clinical knowledge from a Master of Counselling and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, plus several postgraduate studies in counselling and mental health. Her background includes work in suicide intervention and sub-acute mental health services as well as supporting people in private practice.
Her style is collaborative and trauma-informed, with attention to neurodiversity. In sessions she uses straightforward techniques from evidence-based therapies to help people notice patterns, build skills and reduce overwhelm. Conversations focus on small, steady steps rather than quick fixes.
Kelly also supports concerns connected to attachment, abandonment, adoption and foster care, ageing and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, body image, and relationship-related difficulties such as codependency. She works with adults who identify as neurodivergent and people navigating sexual diversity including kink and alternative sex culture.
Sessions are conducted in English and Afrikaans. Her practice uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, with fees that vary by location. To begin, people are asked to use the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Kelly uses several evidence-based therapeutic techniques in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that align with their values; it can help with anxiety, depression and low self-worth. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness, which are useful when emotions feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kelly discusses different methods with clients and together they decide what to try based on the person’s needs, goals and preferences. She treats the choice as collaborative and reviews what is helping as therapy progresses.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session types before booking. Many people find online appointments make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Others prefer longer conversations that mirror an in-person appointment. Discussing practical arrangements before the first session helps match the format to everyday life and commitments.
